Rapid Prototyping Systems.


Stratasys has introduced the Maxum, a rapid prototyping system that can operate 50% faster than previous systems. The equipment's soluble-support feature, WaterWorks waterworks: see water supply. , virtually eliminates post-processing time by dissolving model supports. The machine also offers one of the largest build envelopes in the industry at 23.6 x 19.7 x 23.6 in. The system comes with Insight, a new preprocessing A preliminary processing of data in order to prepare it for the primary processing or for further analysis. The term can be applied to any first or preparatory processing stage when there are several steps required to prepare data for the user.  software that allows users to drag and drop A graphical user interface (GUI) capability that lets you perform operations by moving the icon of an object with the mouse into another window or onto another icon. For example, files can be copied or moved by dragging them from one folder to another.  CAD files to start modeling. A remote notification feature alerts users via email or pager when a job is done or interrupted. A build log tracks jobs by name, material usage, build times and whether it is aborted or completed. The software operates on a Windows NT platform and can be used on a network, allowing operators to send or check jobs from any workstation. The rapid prototyping system is based on the firm's FDM (1) (Fused Deposition Modeling) See 3D printing.
