=Envisiontec Perfactory Rapid Prototyping/3D Printing System:= (acquired Winter 2004)

Our Envisiontec Perfactory Standard 3D printer is a high resolution //stereolithography//-type concept modeler/pattern maker/rapid prototyping system that uses a photomonomer resin and a DLP projector to polymerize 3D finished parts or casting patterns that are highly accurate, translucent or opaque, and reasonably strong in a few different materials (described at length below). The XY resolution of the device is 1280x1024 pixels, normally spread over 128mm (approx 300dpi) and a Z resolution of between 100 and 15um (user selectable - approx 250-1000 dpi). The resulting parts are 100% dense photo acrylate plastic - some of which need to be post-cured with light, and which have support structures that must be broken off manually, (as they are made of the same material as the part itself).

Build Envelope Sizes:
Note **- We build almost everything hollow! To reduce material costs (by drilling and draining), but also because the machine prints better the thinner the cross-sections are. Usually we hollow in magics to 1-2mm wall thickness.**
 * Effective XY build resolution goes down as XY size goes up (pixels spread out over larger area, so each pixel gets larger/more noticable)
 * Z resolution is between 15 and 100um selectable when you generate the job - and is constant no matter the XY size
