3D Platform Printers
• Low initial capital investment; 1/20 the cost of other professional printers
• Low operating expense; open materials cost 1/10 of typical proprietary materials
Professional grade motion control and SurePrint Servo Technology enable layer resolution down to 70 microns
• Industrial strength motion control, including actuators, lead screws, anti-backlash nuts, and smart motors, deliver superior performance and reliability
• Utilizes SIMO® Series precision rails and Constant Force™ anti-backlash lead screws and nuts from PBC Linear®

3D Printing for Prototyping
Key Advantages
• Diverse open market material selections enable 90% savings vs. proprietary materials
• Superior fast print speed of 70-100 mm/sec enabled by SurePrint Technology
• Print up to 6x faster with larger nozzle sizes
A prototype is an early design of a product which is built to test fit, form, and functionality in the engineering space. The adoption of 3D printed prototyping has significantly reduced the cycle time for each design iteration and ultimately the complete design cycle, drastically reducing time-to-market. 3DP provides full-scale functionality in prototyping, eliminating the need to scale down or print multiple parts that require assembly.
3D Printing for Production
Key Advantages
• Advanced capabilities such as embedding inserts like fasteners, electronics, and sensors; as well as core modeling to optimize strength and weight of a print
• Open source software enables printing multiple pieces of the same part with multiple process settings, or printing multiple different pieces in a specific sequence with different process settings
• Open market materials expand abilities with materials offering metallic, conductive, flexible, and water soluble properties
The large build area, 1 meter x 1 meter x 0.5 meter, is perfect for a production environment by enabling users to mass-produce end-use parts. 3D Platform has optimized production 3D printing for both large- and small-scale prints by maintaining the ability to print fully functional parts quickly, using multiple nozzle diameter options, and maintaining cost efficiency with open market materials.
3D Printing for Creative Applications
Key Advantages
• Open market materials expand abilities with materials offering metallic, conductive, flexible, and water soluble properties
• Advanced capabilities such as embedding inserts like fasteners, electronics, and sensors, as well as core modeling to optimize strength and weight of a print
• Examples of personalized 3D prints include: self-portraits derived from 3D scans; customized bracelets and rings; personalized medical implants; made-to-order dresses; and individualized orthopedics, orthodontics, and prosthetics.
Creativity in 3D printing has expanded well beyond additive art and sculptures with 3D Platform enabling artists to unleash their creativity and bring big ideas to life. With the large build platform 1 meter x 1 meter x 0.5 meter artists can print without scaling down or printing multiple parts that require post-print assembly.
3D Printing for Personalization
Key Advantages
• Open market materials expand abilities with materials offering metallic, conductive, flexible, and water soluble properties
• Advanced capabilities such as embedding inserts like fasteners, electronics, and sensors, as well as core modeling to optimize strength and weight of a print
• Examples of personalized 3D prints include: self-portraits derived from 3D scans; customized bracelets and rings; personalized medical implants; made-to-order dresses; and individualized orthopedics, orthodontics, and prosthetics.
3D Platform enables users to print full-scale objects that are customized to fit their needs. Custom 3D printed objects are commonly derived from 3D scans and are often applied in the medical, fashion, education, and entertainment industries.
