Monday, February 1, 2010 at 10:16AM by David Yarnell Now offering metal plated SLA parts by Metalise It...America. SLA parts that have been plated offer signifigant strength versus non-plated SLA parts.
This is a room temperature process that will add approximately .004" (100 microns) of nickel and copper to the SLA substrate.

Wednesday, October 21, 2009 at 8:38AM by David Yarnell Watershed® XC 11122 and ProtoGen™ 18420 can now be recommended for use in medical device applications that include:
"DSM Somos WaterShed® XC 11122 and ProtoGen™ 18420 have passed ISO 10993 biocompatibility testing. This is a major accomplishment, given this ISO test is considered to be more stringent and more widely accepted within the medical device community worldwide than even USP Class VI."

In our efforts to continually invest in the latest technologies we have upgraded our Viper Pro™ to an iPro™ 9000. The upgrade provides a more robust laser and an improved scanning system. These improvements aid in creating more consistent, more accurate and nicer looking parts.
Our iPro™ 9000 can build parts as large as 25 x 29 x 21 inches without the need for cutting. We are currently running 3D Systems Accura® 55 resin in this machine.

Tuesday, February 17, 2009 at 8:16AM by David Yarnell Dynacept is now offering USP Class VI WaterShed® XC 11122 for medical prototypes. 11122 has been tested and approved for USP Class VI in biomedical and skin contact applications.
In order to meet USP Class VI approval, sla parts made in 11122 must be post processed according to the special procedures set forth by DSM. In addition to closely following these cleaning procedures, all USP Class VI parts are glove handled throughout the entire process. All finished parts are individually sealed and bagged and a certificate of compliance (CoC) is provided with every USP Class VI order of parts.
WaterShed® XC 11122 is currently the only DSM Somos material that has been tested and approved for USP Class VI prototypes.

Dynacept.com has been given a much needed overhaul. The new web site is much more modern and cleaner and will easily allow us to update it. It also allows the integration of our blog directly at dynacept.com/blog.
We still have some work left to do and will be adding and updating content frequently, so be sure to stop back. We also have a series of short videos planned showing various technologies and processes we use here at Dynacept.
Friday, January 30, 2009 at 6:30PM by David Yarnell Back in July of 2008 Michael Arrington of TechCrunch wrote a blog post about making a simple, inexpensive web tablet. I immediately forwarded the article to my co-worker Greg. Greg and I have been discussing this type of computing device for probably 3 years, and wanted to get involved.
Our thoughts around this type of device are simple. An 8″-12″ tablet with a touch keyboard. The device would mainly be used for consuming media. A “couch” device that runs a stripped down Linux distro. It needs to boot quickly, be able to stream video from all the major sites such as YouTube and Hulu, have IM, and VoIP capabilities and last but not least, be inexpensive. Michael echoed what Greg and I have been discussing in his original blog post and we were hooked.
After commenting on the post I was contacted by the TechCrunch team to see if Dynacept could help to create some prototype housing assemblies. Something simple that would hold the current components and allow for easy prototyping of the tablet. Greg created the 3D models and we built the housings in our Viper Pro SLA machine. The SLA parts were then finished to an engineering E3 level finish and shipped to the TechCrunch team to begin work on assembling Prototype B.
We are pleased to have done some work on the CrunchPad and worked with the TechCrunch team. We are looking forward to having a CrunchPad in our hands!
