Industrial 3D Printer Doubles Resolution

May 1, 2017
Vector Hi-Res 3SP offers resolution of 0.002-in or 60 µm in the X and Y planes.

Vector Hi-Res 3SP offers resolution of 0.002-in or 60 µm in the X and Y planes. That is nearly double the resolution of the original Vector 3SP, a popular model that launched a year ago.

 

The new 3D printer will be able to process a variety of proprietary materials ideal for manufacturers, including ABS Tough, ABS Hi-Impact, E-Glass and E-Tool, which is designed for short-run injection molding of thermoplastics. The system also includes a standalone PC with a large 56-cm (22-in.) touchscreen monitor.

 

Additionally, EnvisionTEC's exclusive strategic partner, Viridis3D, will be demonstrating its Robotic Additive Manufacturing (RAM) for the first time in Europe. The RAM 123 uses a unique binder jetting head attached to a multi-axis, high-precision robot arm from ABB to print affordable and detailed sand molds and cores for the foundry industry.
