Gary

I for one would be very interested to hear an impartial opinion of the upgrades.

I can certainly see why these items would be of interest

-Improved overall performance

-Improved overall part accuracy and part quality

-New Optics to take full advantage of the new SteadyPower(tm) Imaging System

-New software to help increase productivity with i-pro platform.

As for the others..................

Pat

Again I'm sorry for the advertisement sent across the RP-ML. However these are the items that sold me on the upgrades that 3D Systems explained to me:

-next generation Viper Pro technology base on a new SteadyPower(tm) Imaging System.

-Improved overall performance

-Improved overall part accuracy and part quality

-New Optics to take full advantage of the new SteadyPower(tm) Imaging System

-New software to help increase productivity with i-pro platform.

-A sticker that says iPro to cover your Viper Pro logo.

-A very nice shirt that has a 3D logo on it.

I guess time will tell, however the one iPro installed has done pretty good so far. The upgrades are still in process.

Thanks for your support.

What I find most interesting about the release is the iPro 'conversion' kit for the Viper-Pros.

What improvements in quality and reliability does this bring to the flagship Viper-Pros?

Also, how is V-flash coming along, any direct experiences?

If it's just for "press" releases, that makes it topical for new technology.

I hope we don't start seeing regular advertising here, because it could rapidly get out of hand (imagine 1500 companies posting ads here!). IMHO, I think the below posting is 'borderline', but I don't mind a few 'important' commercial announcements.
