ProPhotonix Delivers 50,000 Laser Module Solutions for 3D
Printing Market
ProPhotonix Limited (London Stock Exchange - AIM: PPIX, OTC:
STKR), a high technology designer and manufacturer of LED
illumination systems and laser diode modules, with operations in
Ireland and the United Kingdom, is pleased to announce that it has
now delivered more than 50,000 laser modules for use in 3D printers
and 3D scanners.
Laser diode modules can be utilized in a number of ways in 3D
printing applications. 3D scanning, typically carried out utilizing
a laser in combination with a sensor, allows the user to capture
the physical dimensions or properties of an object to then
replicate it using a 3D printer. ProPhotonix has developed compact,
cost effective OEM laser modules with the repeatable optical
performance critical to ensure the 3D scanners perform consistently
and reliably.
As the market for 3D printers continues to grow, ProPhotonix has
developed strong relationships with some of the world's leading 3D
printer manufacturers. The Company has designed cost effective
custom laser modules for the stereolithography 3D printing process,
also known as SLA.
Stereolithography is a 3D printing technique in which a UV light
source is used to cure successive layers of liquid resin, in a vat
process, into hardened plastic ("additive manufacturing"). This
method is often used in combination with CAD programs to print 3-D
prototypes.
ProPhotonix provides compact, UV, spot generating laser modules
which are utilized by leading manufacturers in additive
manufacturing. ProPhotonix' flexible design and manufacturing
techniques allow the optical characteristics of the modules to be
tailored to the customer's application. Reliability is key in this
market and ProPhotonix' ability to manufacture to tight tolerances
and conduct extensive testing prior to shipping ensures that the
laser modules perform dependably.
Commenting, Jeremy Lane, Managing Director of ProPhotonix
Limited UK, said - "ProPhotonix' manufacturing expertise and the
flexible design of its product along with our many years of
experience with laser diode technology has allowed it to react
quickly to this rapidly developing market. We are pleased to have
reached this milestone of laser module sales."
