WHY PROFESSIONAL/INDUSTRIAL 3D PRINTER?

SLA 3D PRINTERS

Stereolithography (SLA) 3D printer has the highest quality and accuracy, and known as the GOLD standard in 3D printing. SLA is the first 3D printer, invented by Chuck Hull (3D Systems' founder) with excellent resolution, surface finish and dimensional tolerance.

SLA gives cost-efficient scale-up with lowest unit cost production. Suitable for mass production and produces from small parts to large-whole parts in one printing process.

SLS 3D PRINTERS

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is an additive manufacturing technique that uses a laser to fuse powder-based material layers, binding the material together to create a solid structure. SLS does not require a seperate feeder for support material because the part being printed is surrounded by unsintered powder at all times. 

Large SLS build capacities paired with fast build times, high-density nesting, and no support structures help you produce tough and durable parts.

MJP 3D PRINTERS

MultiJet Printing (MJP) is a material jetting printing process that uses piezo printhead technology to deposit materials layer-by-layer. These high-resolution 3D printers use a separate, meltable or dissolvable support material that can be completely removed in a virtually hands-free process, allowing even the most delicate and complex features to be thoroughly cleaned without damage. 

With MJP plastic 3D printers, you’ll accelerate your product development, producing functional precision plastic, elastomeric, and multi-material composite parts.

CJP 3D PRINTERS

ColorJet Printing (CJP) is an additive manufacturing technology which involves two major components –core and binder. The core material is spread in thin layers over the build platform with a roller. After each layer is spread, color binder is selectively jetted from inkjet print heads, which causes the core to solidify. The build platform lowers with every subsequent layer which is spread and printed, resulting in a full-color three-dimensional model.

Full-color concept models
  • Architectural models
  • Demonstration models
  • Highly complex geometries
  • Quick production times
  • Whether printed with color or in standard white, parts can be additionally clear coated to add a hard, smooth coating or wax coated to smooth out the surface finish.

Note: 3D Systems has decided to discontinue the production (EOL) of all CJP 3D printers. This section is provided for knowledge purpose only. 

METAL 3D PRINTERS

Direct Metal Printing (DMP) or also commonly known as Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS), is an additive manufacturing technology that builds high quality complex metal parts from 3D CAD data. In the machine, a high precision laser is directed to metal powder particles to selectively build up thin horizontal metal layers one after the other. This cutting edge technology allows for the production of metal parts with challenging geometries, not possible using traditional subtractive or casting technologies.
