3D Systems Corporation, a leading provider of 3-D printing, rapid prototyping and manufacturing solutions, announced the launch of the iPro 8000 MP SLA Precision Center, a new system for manufacturing small, precision custom parts that rival the accuracy and detail of CNC milling.
Equipped for automated, push-button data processing of hundreds of files at a time, the iPro 8000 MP SLA Precision Center is ideal for the rapid mass customization of medical parts, including orthodontics, implant drill guides, dental restorations, hearing aid shells and ear molds. Designed with an integrated materials' management system for quick resin change, lot tracking and quality control, the system is equipped with an integrated resin delivery module for building parts up to two inches (or 50 mm) high.
The iPro 8000 MP SLA Precision Center is the second mid-range, compact-footprint Stereolithography System in the next-generation iPro family, which is based on decades of 3D Systems' patented SLA technology. Starting this week, 3D Systems plans to accept orders for this new system for fourth-quarter 2008 shipments.
"We are excited to be able to deliver to the marketplace a Rapid Manufacturing solution that leverages decades of mass customization know-how and experience," said Lee Dockstader, Vice-President and General Manager for 3D Systems' Stereolithography products. "This system should enhance our ability to meet our customers' needs for medical parts in the growing digital dental restoration marketplace as well as expand our participation in mass customization applications for other medical devices."
