2
The ProX™ 800 Stereolithography (SLA) Production Printer (“ProX
800”) is equipped with 3D Systems’ newest 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.
The ProX 800 is flexible and versatile, and can produce precision parts
with accuracy that rivals CNC machining. Like all 3D Systems SLA
printers, it is exceptionally productive and economical for high-volume
additive manufacturing of plastic parts.
With the industry’s widest array of SLA materials, the ProX 800 delivers
a range of properties, from ABS-like toughness to polycarbonate-
like clarity. You can even cast directly from printed patterns using
QuickCast
®
technology.
