Konica Minolta Australia has launched a new super-fast 3D Systems’ ProJet MJP 3600 Series printer with an eye on medical and dental industry applications.
The ProJet MJP 3600 Series prints at up to twice the speed of the previous generation and has data processing capabilities that support files up to 250 per cent larger. The MJP 3600 also brings enhanced productivity to a wide range of prototyping, casting, and end-use part production needs.
In a press release, Konica Minolta Australia said:
With the ability to print in USP Class VI-capable, bio-compatible materials, the ProJet MJP 3600 can be used in advanced healthcare applications, including drill-and-cut guides for dental and medical procedures. The ProJet Series includes models for printing detailed wax patterns for jewellery casting, and precise patterns for other lost wax foundry casting applications.
It also answers the need in dental applications for precise models and casting wax-ups. The series' VisiJet M3 plastic materials deliver incredible detail, high temperature resistance, and watertight surfaces perfect for fluid flow visualisation, design verification, and snap-fit assemblies.
“The ProJet MJP 3600 series offers businesses the throughput, precision, and simplicity of professional MultiJet Printing to meet a wide range of application challenges," said Marc Brandon, 3D Printing Product Marketing Manager, Konica Minolta. “Partnering with Konica Minolta for 3D printing means that customers can leverage the benefits of the ProJet MJP 3600 series now with rental and operating lease options, negating the need for capital expenditure outlay. Add to that the local service and support network offered by Konica Minolta and customers can be confident that they will have maximum uptime for their business-critical 3D printing needs.”
In April, Konica Minolta announced it was adding more staff and resources to cope with its expanding 3D printing business in the local market.
