3D Systems Corporation announced today the immediate availability of its new ProJet 7000 production 3D printer, extending the benefits of its 'crossover' technology further. The ProJet 7000 combines push button simplicity with SLA printability to deliver the highest quality, most accurate parts and patterns available. Its large build volume of 15x15x10 inches (380x380x250 mm) and lightning-fast build speed provides up to 4 times the production capacity of other printers in its class. The ProJet 7000 will be on display May 23-24, at RAPID 2012 at the Hyatt Regency in Atlanta, Georgia, in booth # 120.

The ProJet 7000 production printer comes in 3 models: the SD for affordable high definition parts, the HD for ultra-high definition precision part manufacturing and the MP for dental and medical manufacturing applications. The ProJet 7000 prints the finest feature details resulting in the most accurate prototypes, parts and master patterns for urethane and investment casting applications. This large capacity printer comes with a wide range of VisiJet functional materials including tough, flexible, black, clear, e-stone and high temperature materials, ensuring users can switch seamlessly to just the right print material for any production application.

"The powerful combination of push button simplicity and SLA printability makes the ProJet 7000 value very compelling to our professional and production users," stated Buddy Byrum, Vice President Product & Channel Management for 3D Systems.

"Customers asked us for larger and more part printing capacity and our ProJet 7000 delivers. Its expanded print format delivers both larger models and more parts in a single print for enhanced overall productivity."
