Production 3D Printer
The iPro 8000 is a high-productivity, mid-range SLA® 3D printing system that builds robust parts with outstanding surface smoothness, feature resolution, edge definition and tolerances. Find out more about the sterolithography (SLA) technology pioneered and patented by 3D Systems founder, Chuck Hull. SLA technology is extremely versatile and it can be used in any number of areas that require precision above all else. It is all about precision and accuracy, so it is often used where form, fit and assembly are critical. The tolerances on an SLA part are typically less than .05mm, and it offers the smoothest surface finish of any additive manufacturing process. Considering the level of quality SLA can achieve, it’s particularly useful for creating highly precise casting patterns (e.g., for injection molding, casting and vacuum casting) as well as functional prototypes, presentation models, and for performing form and fit testing. Find the right material for your requirements among the broadest choice of engineering plastics and composites with our Accura® stereolithography (SLA®) material selection guide.
