Plevniak and Dr. He worked with D3 Technologies, a design and engineering systems integrator and 3D Systems partner based in Springfield, Missouri, to select the best 3D printer, material and print set-up for their needs.
“We received a lot of support from D3 before we made the decision to purchase the 3D Systems ProJet? 1200,” says Plevniak. “We were able to ask a lot of questions before ordering and D3 brought us over a sample of the clear material so we could see and test it. D3 also set up a tour of a customer site so we could see the ProJet 1200 in action.”
The 3D Systems ProJet 1200 is the perfect match for microfluidic device prototyping. It is designed for small, precise, detail-rich parts and casting patterns. The machine has a small footprint and is economical to own, safe to operate anywhere, and simple to use.
With a 43 x 27 x 150 mm (1.69 x 1.06 x 5.9 inches) print volume, the ProJet 1200 micro stereolithography (SLA) system prints 30-micron layers at a 585-dpi resolution, resulting in fine feature details that are true to the CAD model.
