3D Systems has expanded its ProJet 1200 suite with five new materials engineered specifically for the desktop printing capabilities of its microstereolithography (micro-SLA) 3D printer. These five new materials join the previously introduced VisiJet FTX Green material, expanding the capabilities of dental labs, manufacturers, engineers, jewelers, and 3D artists in the creation of casting patterns, small end-use parts, and presentation models.
Dental labs use the ProJet 1200 with FTX Green for producing highly accurate, casting-friendly wax-ups for a range of small dental prosthetics, according to the company. The ProJet 1200 prints in 30-micron layers at 585 dpi resolution for the production of up to 12 high-quality wax-ups an hour. The ProJet 1200 and FTX Green combine for an accelerated workflow with the exceptional results of traditional methods, 3D Systems noted.
The company's healthcare solutions include end-to-end simulation, training, and integrated 3D planning and printing for personalized surgery and patient-specific medical and dental devices.
