ProJet™ 1000 / 1500 Personal 3D Printer produces plastic prototype parts from 3-D solid Computer-Aided Design (CAD) models. It is intended to
be used as a 3-dimensional output device to communicate design intent with durable, physical parts. Parts produced can be used in all phases of
design, from a concept build to functional testing and assembly verification. For example, a part can be used as a tool to communicate design
intent, to verify the fit of a new or existing component part or to create a rugged, plastic prototype of a new invention.
These parts are generated in the rapid prototyping (RP) environment under the control of the printer operators. It does not require a special
technical staff to supervise the system. All design and process considerations are compatible with an RP environment. The three-dimensional
solid parts that are printed consist of an ultraviolet (UV) curable material. The resin transfer mechanism provides a controlled layer thickness of
VisiJet® part material which is deposited and patterned using a proprietary imager technology which 3D Systems® has developed. When creating
the pattern, the VisiJet® material undergoes a phase change. This phase change converts the liquid material into a solid polymer. When the print
is complete, the part adheres to the print pad. This pad along with the part is removed from the print platform and the part is cleaned and cured to
provide a finished part.
