Orlando, FL. (May xx, 2005) - Mydea Technologies, a University
of Central Florida Technology Incubator company that provides
sophisticated rapid prototyping technology, has launched the
Spectrum Z510 3D Printing System, the first high-definition color
3D printer released to the rapid prototyping market.
Rapid prototyping combines design, engineering and manufacturing
into a one step process to produce virtually any three-dimensional
object in any of a variety of plastics, resins and metals in
the shortest time possible.
“With the Spectrum Z510, we can provide highly detailed,
3D multi-colored prototypes faster than ever before,” said
Michael Siemer, president and chief executive officer at Mydea. “We
can substantially expand our current capabilities and represent
a savings in cost and time for our clients. In addition, this
is the fastest rapid prototyping machine in the world, so our
turn-around times for clients should be 1-2 days on average,
some even in the same day,” he said.
The ability to provide high-definition color prototypes with
labels and notes included directly on the model can significantly
improve the ability to communicate design concepts throughout
the product development process, Siemer said. “We can print
details as small as four-point fonts. What it means for the product
developer is that we can translate design and engineering concepts
into 3D objects you can hold in your hand in time for tomorrow’s
presentation to investors,” he said.
“High definition 3D printing can be used for product design,
architectural models, medical and dental reconstruction, custom
jewelry and a host of other exciting applications,” Siemer
added.
“This is a huge advance in rapid prototyping because
color adds a fourth dimension.”
