3D Systems introduces SLA product with ‘two solid imagers in one'

April 20, 2001

3D Systems introduces SLA product with ‘two solid imagers in one’ 3D Systems, Inc.'s new Viper si2™ SLA® system is our first solid imaging system to combine standard AND high-resolution part building in the same system. Now, with one machine, you can tackle an unequalled range of solid imaging applications. And you can take advantage of scores of cost-saving, productivity-enhancing innovations, including state-of-the-art components, improved system software, and much more.

A Dual Resolution, Constant Power, Longer-Life Laser – Another 3D Systems First
The Viper si2 system lets you choose between standard resolution, for the best balance of build speed and part resolution, and high resolution (HR mode) for ultra-detailed small parts and features -- all from a carefully integrated digital signal processor (DSP) controlled high speed scanning system with a single, solid-state laser that delivers a constant 100 mW of available power throughout its 7,500-hour warranty life.

Build Superior Quality Parts for Every Application
The Viper si2 system builds parts with a smooth surface finish, excellent optical clarity, high accuracy, and thin, straight vertical walls. It's ideal for a myriad of solid imaging applications, from rapid modeling and prototyping, to injection molding and investment casting.

Lower Your Costs of Ownership Thanks to Scores of Design Improvements
Optimized for the proven CIBATOOL® SL materials, the Viper system's new solid-state laser delivers fast draw speeds, high throughput, and consistent results. What's more, the entire system – from optics and electronics to the external enclosure – has been redesigned from the ground up for maximum productivity, reliability, serviceability, and safety.

Upgraded Software, Upgraded Capabilities
align=right border=0>The Viper si2 system comes fully equipped with upgraded versions of 3D Lightyear™ and Buildstation™ software. And Buildstation software continues to give you unparalleled control over build process.

Tackle all these applications with one machine:

  • Small to medium-sized concept and communications models
  • Small to medium-sized prototypes
  • Patterns for injection molding
  • Patterns for investment casting
  • Precision builds of extremely detailed small parts
  • Parts with extremely fine detail
