The power to reduce product development cycles. The flexibility
to innovate. The capacity to draw more of your best minds into the development
process. With its breakthrough technology and performance, 3D Systems SLA 7000
system delivers all this and more.
Bring products to market faster -- much faster. The SLA 7000 system is three
times faster, on average, than the next fastest solid imaging system from 3D
Systems. But raw speed is just the beginning.The SLA 7000 system's 0.0254 mm
layer thickness yields a smooth finish that results in far less post-processing
time. And its highly-reliable, fifth generation design - including fewer parts,
a low vibration optical system, and revolutionary dual-spot laser technology -
reduces downtime and errors that cost you time, money and opportunity.
Make limited production runs a practical reality. Use the SLA 7000 systems to
quickly produce parts you can use, with minimal post-processing, directly in
many working prototypes. Test more options and explore new possibilities -
because you can create multiple design iterations in a fraction of the time.
Improve the productivity of your entire department. Built for maximum
throughput, the SLA 7000 systems can support your whole department, at top speed
and resolution, without bottlenecks. And 3D Systems Windows NT-compatible 3D
Lightyear™ software comes bundled with the system. Connect as many workstations
as you need, without additional software cost.
Only the SLA 7000 system covers the full range of solid imaging applications:
- Limited production runs
- Rapid tooling
- Prototyping
- Master patterns for investment casting
- Form, fit, and function testing
- Concept communication modeling
*Depending upon part geometry, build parameters, and material.
Tested and proven in some of the world’s most successful
organisations, the SLA 5000 delivers the performance, part quality, and
flexibility your organization needs to compete at the highest level.
Build more parts in less time. SLA 5000’s patented SmartSweep™ technology
eliminates unnecessary sweeper motion, resulting in the fastest possible build
times; its 0.05 mm build layer* creates a smooth finish that requires far less
postprocessing time. Use its large 508 x 508 x 584 mm build envelope to build
larger single parts, or more smaller parts at once. And SLA 5000’s solid-state
laser technology will deliver up to 35% more power over the SLA 3500.
Tackle a full range of solid imaging applications. The SLA SLA 5000 is
compatible with a range of 3D Systems’ stereolithography materials, including
our heat-resistant SL 5530HT resin.
Get economy and reliability that protect your investment. SLA 5000’s long-life
solid-state laser and low power requirements ensure a predictable, manageable
cost of ownership. Its automatic resin dispensing system refills the vat for you
– so you spend less time on maintenance and build preparation, and more time up
and running. And like all our SLA systems, the SLA 5000 comes complete with 3D
Lightyear™ and Buildstation™ software, so you can support your entire
organisation without additional per-user costs.
Invest in a proven solution. A mainstay at companies like GM, AlliedSignal, and
Daimler Chrysler, the SLA 5000 is built to handle critical imaging workloads.
Depend on it to help you innovate, cut costs, and beat your competition to
market with the highest-quality products you’ve ever produced.
Count on a total solution. Every SLA 5000 system includes easy-to-use 3D
Lightyear file preparation software. Every system works with a variety of our
specially formulated resins, covering a broad range of modeling and prototyping
applications. And every system is backed by 3D Systems’ Global Support’s
programme at a local level, which you can tailor to meet your production needs
and your budget. Turn to 3D Systems’ Educational Services for expert hands-on
training in the latest solid imaging methodologies and techniques. Tap the
expertise of the 3D Systems’ Technology Center for demos, benchmarks for
additional modelmaking capacity. It’s a complete solid imaging solution you
won’t find anywhere else.
Use the SLA 5000 solid imaging system for:
- Prototypes for design verification and testing
- Patterns for casting and molding
- Tools for pre-production tooling
- Parts for manufacturing aids, quote enhancement and limited production runs
*Dependent upon part geometry, build parameters and material.
3D Systems’ new Viper 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 and longer life laser -- another 3d systems first. The Viper
SLA system lets you choose between standard resolution mode, 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 100 mW of available power.
Build superior quality parts for every application. The Viper SLA 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 cost of ownership thanks to scores of design improvements. Longer
laser life is just the beginning. Optimized for the proven Accura® SL materials,
the system’s new solid-state Viper laser delivers fast draw speeds, and high
throughput. What's more, the entire system – from optics and electronics to the
external enclosure – has been designed from the ground up for maximum
productivity, reliability and serviceability.
Upgraded software, upgraded capabilities. The Viper SLA system comes fully
equipped with upgraded versions of 3D Lightyear™ part preparation and
Buildstation™ control software, with Buildstation software continuing to provide
unparalleled control over the build process.

Sinterstation Pro SLS System
Sinterstation HiQ Series SLS System
Automatically build functional parts, casting patterns and
tooling inserts from your 3-D CAD data. Representing the future of Instant
Manufacturing technology, the Sinterstation HiQ system directly produces end-use
plastic or metal parts, tooling inserts, or casting patterns from your 3-D CAD
data files. Eliminate the need for machining, tooling, casting or other
secondary processes — and save time and money.
Intelligent Thermal Control System for Consistent Part Quality.
This core technology included with the HiQ™ SLS system accurately monitors build
temperatures throughout the build volume, automatically calibrating on a
layer-by-layer basis, resulting in extraordinary quality parts with highly
consistent mechanical properties throughout the part geometry. This control of
the build process offers easy-to-use, highly repeatable operation from
build-to-build, and system-to-system, with less training required, reduced skill
to operate, and producing parts that require less post-processing. In addition,
the Intelligent Thermal Control System delivers improved material recycling
yields of the materials optimized for use with the Sinterstation HiQ system —
DuraForm® PA, DuraForm GF and LaserForm™ A6 materials — resulting in reduced
operating costs.
Add High Speed (HS) for Maximum Productivity. For maximum speed and
productivity, choose the Sinterstation HiQ+HS system. This advanced system
replaces the HiQ system’s 30 watt CO2 laser and Beam Delivery System (BDS)
optics with the more powerful 50 watt CO2 laser and high speed Celerity™ Beam
Delivery System to increase vertical build speed up to 1.8X faster (when using
DuraForm material).
Easy-to-use Advanced System Control Software. Included with each new HiQ system
is the new LS 3.4 software – offering new features that both new and advanced
users will appreciate:
- Self-learning feature in the build-time-estimator greatly enhances accuracy of
estimate
