3D Systems Corporation is launching the iPro 8000 SLA Centre, a new high-productivity, mid-range stereolithography system that offers all the performance attributes and benefits of its latest generation iPro SLA Precision Centres in a smaller format and compact footprint.
The iPro 8000 SLA Centre is designed to quickly and economically build small and large parts with unprecedented surface smoothness, feature resolution, edge definition and tolerances that rival the accuracy of CNC-machined parts. Based on decades of 3D Systems' patented SLA technology, the system features a new-generation proprietary Proscan digital scanning system that is equipped with a new state-of-the-art Steadypower Imager for reliable output and repeatability. In combination with 3D Systems' versatile portfolio of Accura materials, this SLA Centre is claimed to provide exceptional part-building capabilities, superior quality control and faster, cleaner changeover of materials.
3D Systems plans to accept orders for this new system starting at the end of October for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2008.
Lee Dockstader, vice-president and general manager for 3D Systems' stereolithography products, states: "Consistent with our plans to broaden the range and adaptability of our SLA Precision Centres, we are delighted to introduce the iPro 8000, an affordable, mid-range SLA Precision Centre."
