John,

You have misunderstood the process..... Data preparation from the
Stl file takes about 5 minutes to make the full set of masks..... This
dataset is then downloaded to the system.... The system then exposes a
mask for each 25 micron layer in 6-8 seconds

You may contact Envisiontec directly for your area by E-mail to
mforth@envisiontec.co.uk ( Martin Forth ). I am certain he can give you
all the information you may need.

good luck

Dear Steven,

How does the system works. Does it have to create mask for every layer &
then wipe it out after exposure of UV.

If each mask + exposure is taking upto 5 mins, then how can it have the
build speeds you claimed.

Look for your reply.

Johnn,

Dear Steven,

Does Envision uses mask type technology for exposing the UV light ? In
that case what about the time to prepare masks for every layer ?

the Viper, being a laser based system, must plot the contour of each
geometry on each layer. Depending on the complexity of geometries this
build time will vary. The Perfactory exposes all features on a given
layer in about 8 seconds simultaneously for a 25 micron layer....much
faster

bear in mind there is an additional 3-5 second on each layer to allow
the material replenishment and Z axis adjustment for each successive
layer.

Given the costs of the Viper to purchase and the on-going costs of
support, material, laser replacement, etc. You could purchase 2-3
Perfactory systems

Thus far, when building rings we have found the average batch time to be
5-6 hours with 6-8 rings per batch. ( assume 8-9 mm ring width ) You can
determine a daily output by the number of work shifts you have. The
quantity would be less if you are using the multi-lens version as the
build envelope is smaller

One question......where are you located...?

Dear Steven,

Yes ! Your reply looks one I can believe. Have a look at reply on list
from one Mr. Anuj Shah about Envision speed. I do not know if he knows
what he is talking about !
I was comparing the data of Envision with Viper speed.

    My partner and I are the designated re-seller for the jewelry
industry for Envisiontec Perfactory. Thus far there are only a couple of
multi lens systems worldwide where the pixel size changes from 32 to 60
microns so we don;t have much data yet. We do have several systems here
in the US building jewelry including my own using the fixed focal
Perfactory Mini where the pixel size is 40 micron

    We have been building using 20-30 micron slice thickness with
excellent results. The build time savings over the conventional
Solidscape and/or Sanders is considerable. For example, two large high
school rings took 5 hours at 25 micron and would take approximately;y 4
hours at 50 micron. This job ( 2pcs ) would take about 54 hours on a
Solidscape machine Another example would be a conventional 3 stone ring
1CTTW. You can build 8 of this type of ring in 5 hours or one ring on a
RapidToolmaker and take 22 hours.

    Obviously, there is a significant output increase over conventional
systems. If you would like to contact me off line, I can provide you
specific details about the process and where you can see a Perfactory
Mini in your area....

sincerely

Dear List,

Can some users of Perfactory system for Jewellery applications can
update me on the following data -

1. Build speed in mm/hr with 0.025 mm layer thickness, with 32 & 60
microm pixel size. How many rings possible with height of 33 mm, per
platform built in these resolutions.

2, Same data as above but now with 0,050 layers

Look for feedbacks.

Johnn
