Affordable 3D printer is office-friendly

Paul Boughton

3D Systems is launching an affordable, high-definition Projet SD 3000 3D printer for professional in-office modelmaking by design and manufacturing businesses of all sizes.

Utilising 3D Systems' patented and proprietary Multi-Jet Modeling (MJM) technology, the Projet SD 3000 Printer is designed to provide high-quality parts with exceptionally smooth surfaces and small feature detail, suitable for concept development, design verification, form-fit testing and product presentations. 3D Systems' exclusive MJM 'hands-free' support material offers easy support removal for even delicate part features that could be damaged by other support material technologies.

Designed for on-site, on-demand rapid fabrication, the Projet SD 3000 System uses a single-pass print head design that is claimed to deliver best-in-class production speed for large-footprint parts or full platform builds of smaller parts. This 3D printer is designed to be used in the design office with clean, quiet operation using standard office electrical power to make fully cured plastic parts that are safe for handling right out of the machine.

The Projet SD 3000 Printer is useful for consumer products, designer packaging, electronic components, medical devices and study models, and apparel accessories. Design and engineering educational programs, especially those requiring the capability to produce complex geometries, can also benefit from this economical 3D Printer.

Abe Reichental, 3D Systems' president and chief executive officer, comments: "As a leading provider of high-quality office and desktop 3D printers, we are excited to bring to market the third 3D printer that we have introduced this year based on our proprietary jetting technology. This new, affordable 3D printer is designed to enable more designers, engineers and architects to cost-effectively convert their CAD designs into physical 3D models and benefit from high-definition additive fabricating capabilities directly in their offices."
