"The cutting edge products we are launching today provide enormous value to our design and manufacturing customers, leapfrogs competitors and extends our first mover advantage in certain key verticals," said Avi Reichental, President and CEO of 3D Systems. "The exponential speed, size and capacity gains we are delivering together with advanced material options and new scan-to-design and inspection tools, defines the very essence of 3DPRINTING 2.0 and accelerates our customers' ability to manufacture the future "

3DS is showcasing 3DPRINTING 2.0, represented by its entire next generation 3D printing and scanning products and services at stand E68:

First and only full-color plastic 3D printer -- Immediate availability of the ProJet 4500 3D printer, the first and only continuous tone full-color plastic 3D printer available today. This category-defining 3D printer delivers ready-to-use vibrant, full-color durable plastic parts straight out of the printer for a wide range of modeling, functional prototyping and real-use products. The ProJet 4500 builds with a new class of sustainable VisiJet C4 Spectrum materials. This revolutionary printer delivers both flexible and strong parts, pixel by pixel, straight out of the printer, in high resolution CMY (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow) color with a superior surface finish.

High performance simultaneous multi-materials composite printing -- Immediate availability of the ProJet 5500X, a ground breaking multi-material 3D printer that delivers the highest quality, most accurate and toughest multi-material composites. The ProJet 5500X simultaneously prints and fuses together flexible and rigid material composites layer by layer at the pixel level in a variety of colors and shades including opaque, clear, black or white and numerous shades of gray. 3DS' printed multi-material composites result in stunningly realistic, functional, large and small prototypes and products for a wide range of manufacturers, designers and engineers.

Largest format production platform -- Immediate availability of the ProX 950 SLA 3D printer, the largest-format, highest-speed, greatest accuracy and greenest 3D printer available today. Utilizing 3D Systems' stereolithography technology, the ProX 950 is equipped with 3DS' newest PolyRay print head technology that can manufacture real parts at up to 10 times the speed of other 3D printers, drawing on the widest choice of proven high-performance engineered materials that are qualified for the most demanding aerospace, medical device and industrial use-cases.

High-volume functional parts manufacturing -- Immediate availability of the ProX 500 SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) 3D printer that delivers superior parts with greater precision, durability and quality in a compact production-grade system that is easy to own and economical to use. Designed for the manufacturing floor, the ProX 500 produces ready-to-use functional parts and complete assemblies for a variety of aerospace, automotive, patient specific medical devices, fashion products and mobile devices use cases. The ProX 500 is productive, reliably delivering parts with exceptional mechanical properties at production rates that are 7 times faster than comparable technologies. The compact ProX printer was developed in tandem with the revolutionary new DuraForm ProX material to produce smoother wall surfaces and injection molding-like part quality.

Industrial-grade direct metal printing -- Immediate availability of the ProX 300 direct metal printer, the only industrial grade direct metal platform that was specifically designed for the most demand manufacturing floor conditions, delivering high density, metal printed parts from a large choice of materials and to very accurate precision. The ProX 300 is the first Phenix system to be rebranded as part of 3DS' rapidly expanding DDMS 3D printers family. The company is also immediately beginning to ship its rebranded ProX 100 and ProX 200 DMS 3D printers at EuroMold.
