DataDesign (Nagoya, Japan; President: Takanori Okamura), a provider of 3D CAD/CAM software, held a small-group technical seminar in Nagoya on April 24 to introduce the Form 4, a new stereolithography (SLA) 3D printer launched in Japan on April 18. The event was held in cooperation with Formlabs, a U.S.-based 3D printer manufacturer, with which DataDesign has an agency agreement.
The Form 4 features a redesigned mechanism that delivers print speeds approximately 3.5 times faster than previous models. The system uses high-power LEDs and a proprietary lens to cure resin more rapidly, resulting in improved modeling accuracy.
Additional features include:
A built-in camera and sensor system for process control
An optical film that facilitates easier removal of printed objects
“The strength of the Form 4 is its high molding speed. We want to offer it as a choice, especially for customers who make products in small batches,” said Hiroshi Okuma, channel sales manager at Formlabs.
