Combine outer beauty with inner toughness and have durable, full-color plastic parts right out of the printer from the ProJet® 4500. It is the industry’s only photo-realistic full-color plastic 3D printer. The ProJet 4500 gives you the power to print strong plastic parts, colored pixel by pixel for true-to-life models of your end product.

ProJet 4500 Printer

This office-friendly 3D printer is quick and efficient, and features intuitive operation controls, so you can ensure high productivity and cut operating costs.

Who’s It For

Design, R&D, AEC, marketing and sales teams that need to create vibrant, tough, photo-realistic part models, as well as service bureaus and entrepreneurs who need to print in full color plastic.

“The 3D Systems ProJet 4500 has been a game-changer when it comes to creating professional-level, full-color 3D models. The plastic prints are durable, resilient, and maintain integrity even at super-fine detail, enabling clients to fully interact with the print and thoroughly understand the design at hand. When it comes to medical modelling, we can now better serve our customers by providing a solution encompassing both the level of detail and robustness necessary for laboratory and surgical work. The ProJet 4500 has allowed us to rise to the challenge and create models not possible on any other 3D printer.”
