Meet the ProJet MJP 2500 Series 3D Printers

Dear DE Reader:

In April, 3D Systems released its new ProJet MJP 2500 Series of MultiJet 3D printers. The on-demand webinar at the far end of today's Check it Out link tells you all about them. It's a good show.

Briefly, 3D Systems describes the ProJet MJP 2500 as a 3D printer that allows you to step up from desktop 3D printing to 24/7 usability. The series has two models. The difference between the two lies in material options. One model uses durable, rigid white or black plastic materials. The Plus model adds a clear plastic material and a pair of black and natural elastomeric materials for printing soft, rubber-like parts such as gaskets and piping.

The ProJet MJP 2500 is well-suited for concept modeling jobs like communicating design intent and eyeballing ideas, but it can also be used for functional prototyping and even rapid tooling. It has a small, office-sized footprint, and it doesn't stink up the joint with nasty odors or waste. Its 3DSPRINT client software is engineered to be easy to use. Specs include an 11.6x8.3x5.6 in. build envelope, an XYZ resolution of 800x900x790 dpi. Typical resolution is ±0.004 in. per inch of part dimension.

The “Professional-grade, In-office 3D Printing with the ProJet MJP 2500” on-demand webinar provides a thorough rundown on what these printers can mean for you. It begins with a brief look at 3D printing in general, the entire MJP series and how MultiJet Printing technology operates. The ProJet MJP 2500 presentation details the things you want to know about specifications, material properties, part details, features of the client software and so on. One of the interesting discussions (at 16:35) covers the new hands-on, chemical-free material removal introduced with the ProJet MJP 2500.

At about 19:30, the presentation turns to a pair of reports from the field. These are terrific. They convey hands-on details of using the ProJet MJP 2500 like how you'd tell someone. What will strike you about them is the very evident satisfaction of discovering that this 3D printer turned out to be more than expected by a long shot. Also nice is that this webinar includes the audience Q&A that’s normally cut out.

The “Professional-grade, In-office 3D Printing with the ProJet MJP 2500” webinar will take you an hour to watch. If you have the slightest inclination of bringing 3D printing in-house or expanding your resources, consider it a must see. Hit today's Check it Out link and go for it.

Thanks, Pal. – Lockwood
