Solidscape 3D printers

Solidscape® 3D printers are primarily used to produce "wax-like" patterns for lost-wax casting/investment casting and mold making applications.

The 3D printers receive digital input from three-dimensional data files (STL, SLC) and create solid, three-dimensional parts through an additive, layer-by-layer process with a layer thickness [mm] from .0127 to .0762 and a resolution of [dpi] 5,000 x 5,000 x 8,000 XYZ. The patterns produced are extremely high resolution with vibrant details and outstanding surface finish.

The printers combine patent-protected, drop-on-demand ("DoD") thermoplastic ink-jetting technology and high-precision milling of each layer with the Company's proprietary graphical front-end software, ModelWorks®.

Solidscape's 3D wax printers utilize the Company's proprietary printing technology, SCP® (Smooth Curvature Printing®), which enables its systems to deliver the highest precision and surface finish in the industry. Developed to enhance throughput performance up to 25% (depending upon model geometry) and deliver master patterns that stand alone in the industry... the true benchmark of quality.

The full suite of 3D wax printers is marketed primarily under the BenchMark™ and preXacto™ brands.
