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.
