MERRIMACK, NH, July 14, 2011 - Solidscape®, Inc., the leading manufacturer of high-precision 3D printers and materials for lost wax casting and mold making, is announcing today, the launch of plusCAST™, a model material providing higher durability and greater flexibility. These enhancements will allow manufacturers to produce lighter-weight pieces with thinner walls, with the benefit of reducing the cost of precious metals.
“The market demands production of finished goods using less precious materials” remarked Fabio Esposito, VP Worldwide Sales and Marketing, Solidscape, Inc. “We continue to listen to our customers and the ability to print at 5000 dpi resolution, combined with a higher performing material allows manufacturers to be even more profitable.”
plusCAST’s superior casting properties remain the same as prior Solidscape materials, but the ability to produce intricate designs with the same accuracy is now even greater. Manufacturers and custom designers will be able to produce models that are easier to work with, while retaining the superior surface finish and casting characteristics, for which Solidscape has been known for over the years.
plusCAST will be available for shipment starting on August 1, 2011.
