EuroMold 2013: Product Highlights in 3D printing Technology

3d printing and 3d scanning technology at EuroMold 2013

Euromold 2013 saw four days of product reveals and technology displays. Now that it has come to a close, there is a lot of excitement surrounding the 3D printing industry. 3D Systems revealed a number of products, such as the Sense Consumer Scanner and the ProX 950. All of these products are slated to change the direction of the industry throughout 2014 and beyond.

Here are some of the products that were revealed:

  • Sense Consumer Scanner – The Sense Consumer Scanner gives photography a different edge, allowing individuals to savor every dimension of their wedding photos, graduation day, or the arrival of a new baby. Once scanned, the image can be converted into a three-dimensional image.
  • ProX 950 This is a production 3D printer that comes with a great deal of accuracy and completes more projects faster than the standard printer. It uses PolyRay print head technology, manufacturing real parts at 10 times the speed of competitor printers.
  • ProX 300 After 10 years of research and development, the end result is metal 3D printing, which is what the ProX 300 does. Setup times are short, print speeds are fast, and the parts are very dense. It has the ability to produce very complex parts and assemblies.

Surphaser – 3D Laser Scanners

surphaser-3d-laser-scanners3D scanning is a practice that is growing in popularity. With Surphaser 3D laser scanners, users are able to scan three dimensional objects and duplicate them on a 3D printer. Objects of different sizes have easily been converted into smaller models for study. For instance, the car industry will scan the parts of competitor vehicles in order to determine what sets them apart.

Everything from mechanical parts to tools can be duplicated.

Features & Requirements

For the best quality 3D scanning, the Surphaser offers the following:

  • High scanning speed, scan data quality, and high accuracy
  • Achieves a scan ranges between 1m and 120m
  • The scan rate is up to ½ million points per second
  • Low noise
  • Millimeter-scale for medium range models and sub-millimeter accuracy for short range
  • Image quality is similar to a 100Mpix digital photo
  • The design is splash- and dust-resistant, allowing the Surphaser to operate in outdoor and industrial environments
  • The datasets that are exported are clean and will export into 3rd party cloud processing applications
  • Lightweight and portable
