3D Printer (Projet 3510 HD Plus)

3D printing is a process of making a three-dimensional solid object of virtually any shape from a digital model. 3D printing is achieved using an additive process, where successive layers of material are laid down in different shapes. 3D printing is also considered distinct from traditional machining techniques, which mostly rely on the removal of material by methods such as cutting or drilling (subtractive processes).

The ProJet 3510 HDPlus uses Multi-Jet Modeling technology to deliver high quality, durable plastic parts. This model has 3 different resolution modes for printing concept models, verification prototypes and patterns for pre-production and manufacturing.

These UV-cured plastic materials are available in a range of colors, translucencies and tensile strengths, with melt-away white wax as support. Currently the PFF supplies all users with VisiJet Crystal and VisiJet S300 support wax. VisiJet Crysta is engineered plastic performance for durability and stability ideal for functional testing and rapid tooling applications. This material also provides true plastic look and feel for a vast array of prototyping and end use applications. VisiJet Crystal is USP Class VI certified for approved medical applications.
