Methods 3D, Inc., a newly formed subsidiary of Methods Machine Tools, Inc., has announced the addition of the new high-throughput ProJet MJP 3600 to its growing line of 3-D printers and direct metal 3-D printers from 3D Systems.
The ProJet MJP 3600 is designed for professional product prototyping and manufacturing across numerous industries. The MultiJet Printing technology produces high definition parts in addition to providing a high capacity build volume and fast print speeds - up to twice the speed of the previous generation. Its data processing capabilities support files up to 250% larger, enabling enhanced productivity for a range of prototyping, casting and end-use part production needs, as well as producing true-to-CAD parts.
The series ProJet MJP 3600 can be used for advanced healthcare applications, including drill and cut guides for dental and medical procedures with the ability to print in USP Class VI-capable, bio-compatible materials. The high resolution of multijet printing means that even fine features can come out correctly. Support structure is comprised of easy to remove melt-away wax for simple post-processing, eliminating hand scraping; high pressure water jets; caustic chemical baths; or special facility requirements.
The ProJet MJP 3600 provides a large net build volume (XYZ) 11.75" (298 mm) x 7.3" (185 mm) x 8" (203 mm), fast print speeds and high definition parts. There is a choice of materials and selectable print resolutions. It works with VisiJet materials in UV curable plastic, in a range of colors, translucency and tensile strengths, as well as castable wax.
Methods 3D has installed the ProJet MJP 3600 within its multiple technology centers across the U.S. to provide product demonstration, training, support and development of customer solutions on this production printer incorporating the full range of available materials.
"We are excited to offer the ProJet 3600 that uses MultiJet Printing technologies to print durable precision plastic parts, along with the extensive line of 3D Systems Direct Metal Printers," said Benjamin Fisk, General Manager, Methods 3D, Inc. "Parts made with MultiJet Printers have a smooth finish, high durability, enhanced material properties and can achieve accuracies rivaling SLA (stereolithography) for many applications."
