3D Systems announced the immediate availability of its previously announced ProJet 1200 micro-SLA printer and commencement of customer shipments. This affordable, safe micro-SLA 3D printer is capable of producing small, precise, detail-rich parts and casting patterns and ideal for fine jewelry, electronic components and dental wax-ups. Smaller than most coffee makers, this new printer is economical to own, safe to operate anywhere and simple to use. It prints accurate ready-to-use parts and castable patterns that cost less than one U.S. dollar. Priced at $4,900, the ProJet 1200 is a professional-grade 3D printer for jewelers, dental labs, product designers and garage entrepreneurs.

With fast print speeds and high detail accuracy, dental labs can print up to 12 precise dental wax ups in under an hour and jewelers can create 5 intricate rings in under 2 hours. The Projet 1200 prints at 30-micron layers at effective 585 dpi resolution featuring micro details with the excellent surface smoothness of SLA technology.

The ProJet 1200 has an 8 x 8 in. base and a height of 13 inches, with both LAN and USB connectivity. Convenient all-in-one material cartridges are quick and easy to use. The built-in UV curing station assures safe handling of the parts and locks in their mechanical properties.

The VisiJet FTX Green material is for casting patterns, with an ash-free burn-out as well as the necessary quality for plastic prototypes and small collectible designs.
