Solidscape®, Inc., will unveil the Solidscape Base at the Euromold Tradeshow in Frankfurt, Germany, Nov. 25-28, booth B111 in hall 11. In addition, Solidscape will also demonstrate two new software programs that enable users to operate printers remotely as well as through a mobile device. Both programs are scheduled to launch in 2015. (If this concept of remotely operating a 3D printer sounds familiar, it’s because German RepRap recently announced a device that lets users operate 3D printers remotely too.)

The Solidscape Base offers an all-in-one approach that improves efficiency and streamlines the 3D printing experience. For any Solidscape 3Z series printers, as well as next generation technology, the Base encloses and supports items needed to run a Solidscape printer.

Features include:

• Cabinet: With ergonomic height, interior storage for tools, build plates, etc., the cabinet provides an enclosure to protect and organize printing materials.
• Quatro Dust Collector: Comes with a 12-month warranty, the clean room-class dust collector provides improved reliability with a large capacity, anti-microbial bag that’s easy to use and requires infrequent changes.
• Voltage Input/Line Regulator: For steady performance and longer shelf life, the line regulator will protect sensitive electronic equipment by preventing voltage fluctuations and electrical surges.

Said Fabio Esposito, Solidscape President, “Solidscape is excited to launch a suite of innovative tools that streamline the 3D printing process with ease of use and remote access, allowing users to print anytime, anywhere.”

Solidscape’s Smooth Curvature Printing® with wax provides micro-precision parts featuring complex geometries that are 100% castable. When it comes to creating prototypes, Solidscape’s lost wax casting process allows users to reproduce layers as fine as six microns every time.

Released earlier this year, Solidscape’s MAX2 is a fully automated printer with an easy-to-operate touch screen that allows any skill level to effectively produce high-precision wax patterns.
