May 2013 French engineering company Groupe Gorge (GOE) to 4.8 million euros in the price of the acquisition of the 3D printer manufacturer Phidias Technologies company 88% of the shares. Recently , GOE CEO Raphael Gorge said , GOE is now ready to enter the field of 3D printing , and try to play an important role in the new industrial revolution .
Phidias Technologies company now renamed Prodways, 2012 sales of 100 million euros , income margin was 15%.
Prodways claims that its combination of UVA LED and DLP mobile MOVINGLight patented technology capable of producing perfect parts. Release Prodways first movable head DLP 3D printer manufacturer image DLP projection head with movement of the irradiation on the photosensitive resin layer by layer and cured . Mobile DLP technology can be used in the construction of a large area of ??the smaller single image projection , so that the printed result will be more accurate, higher precision. Meanwhile Prodways use UVA LED to accelerate the curing reaction , which can improve print speed.
The company said in print large parts respect, it has received a " resolution and accuracy of the world record ." It is expected that the demand for this type of printer is about $ 400 million annually.
Features:
Precision high-speed printing: hundreds of small parts several hours to complete, accuracy of less than 35 microns
Unparalleled Resolution : each pixel over 500 million
Direction in three dimensions (vertical and horizontal ) can achieve high precision, can be used in many fields , such as dental
Large parts of the complex print , still maintain high accuracy
Can be applied to composite and hybrid materials 3D printing
Excellent surface quality with minimal post-processing
MOVINGLight technology was developed by 3D Systems , former chief scientist Andre-Luc Allanic invention , Allanic Phidias Technologies and founded the company in 2007 . Phidias Technologies has so far sold 17 units 3D printers , these machines are mainly in Europe , where Germany is the company's major markets.
One technical advantage is Prodways manufacturing quality composite and hybrid materials. The use of these materials out of mechanical properties, physical properties , appearance and taste components.
"Production efficiency of our machines are our biggest competitors three to four times ." Raphael Gorge told Bloomberg . The company is targeting the dental restoration industry customers, such as dental products manufacturer Align Technology. Gorge said dental restoration industry are the largest 3D printing technology applications worldwide . Their machines can print up to 5 hours 100 tooth model , really impressive.
In 2014 , the company plans to sell more than 10 printers , each priced between 300,000 euros to 400,000 euros , in the high-end market . Prodways while also developing its own resin products with a view to increase its annual revenue .
At this year's EuroMold exhibition , Prodways 4 will showcase its new 3D printer , including:
M350 Producer:
You can print more than 1 meter in diameter , the height of over 55 cm of large components , or both print many small parts . M350 performance parts with extremely precise control of the height .
K20 Producer:
Designed for printing composite parts design . K20 with high viscosity materials ( cream texture ) unique processing capabilities, you can 3D print composite parts , especially ceramic and metallic materials . The results of a very high density printing .
D35 Producer:
In all three dimensions has a very high accuracy , can be used for biomedical and dental applications .
