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.

  • Medical Device Prototypes
  • Anatomical Modeling
  • Surgical and Dental Drill Guides

"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."

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.

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!
