 with the smooth sidewalls and crisp details on parts from the Viper[TM] Pro that they kept coming back for more. We then found ourselves in need of more capacity," stated Rob Connelly, president of FineLine Prototyping, Inc. "When 3D Systems designed the Viper[TM] Pro, they focused its advanced technology directly on build quality - no other large-frame machine can touch it in terms of part quality - and that aligns perfectly with FineLine's mission," continued Connelly.

"We are enormously pleased with the speed in which leading users like Fineline are adopting this exciting system," said Abe Reichental, 3D Systems president and chief executive officer. "All of our new manufacturing-capable systems feature the innovative ProScan Imaging System which enables parts manufacturing with smooth surfaces, fine features, sharp edges, and tight tolerances addressing the most demanding application requirements."

Fineline Prototyping's current inventory of systems includes 5 Viper[TM] SLA([R]) systems, 2 InVision([R]) HR 3-D Printers and one Viper[TM] Pro SLA([R]) system. The second Viper[TM] Pro system adds additional vat capabilities as well as another system capable of achieving build volumes up to 29"x25"x21".

"The Viper[TM] Pro SLA([R]) system from 3D Systems offers the quality, resolution and accuracy we have been waiting to deliver to our current and future customers for some time," concluded Connelly. "We expect an even greater increase in business with the purchase of a second Viper[TM] Pro SLA([R]) system."

"FineLine Prototyping is smart to quickly react to its customers needs and growing demand for outstanding quality parts and deciding to expand its Viper[TM] Pro SLA([R]) System capacity to provide high-class stereolithography prototypes to an even larger customer base," concluded Reichental.
