Among the number of exciting 3D printing releases to take place at EuroMold this week are some new products from EnvisionTEC, makers of industrial DLP 3D printers. At the machine tool conference in Frankfurt, EnvisionTEC will be showcasing a brand new 3D printing system, along with a range of new materials, and an update to their Perfactory 3D printing software.
The biggest announcement from EnvisionTEC is the launch of a new, large-scaled 3D printing system called the Xtreme® 3SP. To be unveiled at 9:30 A.M. tomorrow in Hall 11.0 at Stand C140, the Xtreme 3SP acts as a mid-range printer in the company’s large-frame line. Slightly smaller than their previous Xede 3SP printer, the Xtreme offers a build volume of 10″ x 15″ x 13″ and high-speed, high-resolution 3D printing, using EnvisionTEC’s Scan, Spin, and Selectively Photocure (3SP) technology.
Complementing their new printer is a new range of materials, including ABS Flex, ABS Tough, and SuperFlex. Suitable for all of EnvisionTEC’s 3D printers, the materials are ideal for those producing durably prototypes and end-use parts in the automotive and consumer industries. The company will also be releasing their RC70 and RC90 resins for use with their Perfactory line of 3D printers. The nanofilled materials can both be used for silicone moulding, due to their smooth surface finish and precise detail, but RC90 is designed mostly to be used in jewelry design and production, while the RC70 is meant for toys, animation, ornamental jewelry, and high-precision housings. EnvisionTEC’s final materially unveiling is the Ortho Tough 3SP, a high-speed material for printing orthodontic models on the ULTRA® 3SPTM Ortho 3D printer.
In addition to their new printer and materials, the company will also be showcasing their Perfactory® 3.0 software at EuroMold. The software upgrade should show better usability and functionality, including automatic support generation, a refined part orientation gimbal, as well as enhanced memory saving capabilities.
EnvisionTEC CEO, Al Siblani, said of the new releases, “We are pleased to bring our newest solutions to share at EuroMold. EnvisionTEC has been working hard to provide substantial additions to our lineup that will greatly improve our customers’ 3D printing capabilities and follow through with our value proposition of functionality and high surface quality without sacrificing speed.”
To be honest, I’m a little jealous of Davide and Rachel right now, as they’ll get to see these products, along with all of the new offerings from 3D printer manufacturers, at EuroMold this week. If you’re going, say to “Hi” to them for me and send me some SuperFlex stuff to show off to my friends.
