Desktop 3D printer. Quick, clean and office friendly. Durable and complex output.
3D Systems - InVision LD 3D Printer
The InVision LD 3-D Printer is one of the most affordable,
friendly and compact desktop 3-D printers available today with the simplicity
and functionality of broadly used 2-D plotters.
3D Systems InVision LD 3-D Printer
The InVision LD 3-D Printer builds complex
geometrical shapes from 3-D CAD digital input one slice thickness at a time
by fusing, masking and trimming layers of proprietary VisiJet® LD100 engineered
plastic into solid parts. The office-friendly system delivers dry parts with
EZPeel™ supports. The InVision LD 3-D Printer is designed for communication
and concept modeling applications specifically for designers, engineers and
marketers. It is also ideal as an educational tool for university, technical
college and high school engineering and industrial design departments.

Affordability
The InVision LD 3D Printer carries both a low initial investment cost and low
cost of ownership. There are no post-built curing processes required and no
need for dedicated personnel. In addition, the price of the InVision LD consumable
materials allows for a low model build cost.
Ease of Operation
Anyone can operate the InVision LD 3D Printer. The model build process requires
no intervention and the replacement of consumable materials can be done by anyone
in the office because it is no more complicated than changing cartridges on
a copy machine or regular 2D printer. The InVision LD creates no ambient dust
or residue so there is no cleanup required after each build. Improved Design Communication
With 3D systems' unique InVision LD 3D Printer, it is now possible to produce
more models, more often on your own schedule and at a lower cost. With the InVision
LD, early stage concept modelling and multiple design iterations are no longer
cost prohibitive. The immediate feedback from colleagues and customers saves
valuable time in the early identification of design issues, and ensures a smooth
transition to development. The InVision LD will significantly trim your design
and development cycle by improving communication throughout the process.
Confidentiality
With the InVision LD, organisations can safeguard confidential, proprietary
design information by keeping model creation in-house, in-department and in-office.
Durable Models
Using Plastic Sheet Lamination, the InVision LD 3D printer produces rugged yet
flexible models made of VisiJet® LD100, a rigid PVC based plastic. The accuracy,
strength and durability of the parts produced on the InVision LD make them perfectly
suitable for all stages of the design cycle, from concept verification through
form, fit and functional testing, including snap fit. Models can be machined,
drilled, finished and painted, and they show no distortion over time.
