Prodways Technologies announces first sales of ProMaker LD-10 and a major sale in the aerospace sector

2018 is starting well for Prodways Technologies with the success of the early-adopter ProMaker LD-10 program and its first sales in the “compact” dental segment, as well as the announcement of the sale of a laser selective sintering 3D printer, the ProMaker P4500 HT, in the aeronautics sector.

  • ProMaker LD-10 program was very well received and the first sales in the field of compact dental 3D printers.

Following the presentation at FormNext of its new generation of dental 3D printers, ProMaker LD series based on its patented MOVINGLight® technology, Prodways Technologies announces the success of its early-stage programthe first sales of its ProMaker LD-10 3D printers to leading dental laboratories in Italy, Germany and the USA.

The development of this new generation of 3D printers is based on the success of Prodways’ exclusive MOVINGLight® technology, which has attracted major players in the dental industry (dental aligner manufacturers, large dental laboratories and production centers) with its unique combination of high precision and productivity on large manufacturing platforms. This new range reflects Prodways’ commitment to offering the professional performance of MOVINGLight® technology in a more compact and versatile format at an affordable price (less than €100,000 for the first models in the range), thus meeting the requirements of dental laboratories as they embark on a transition to a digital workflow.

The ProMaker LD series of 3D printers are available with high-performance resins from Prodways Materials, thus meeting the needs of the dental industry:

  • 3D printing resins for dental models intended for restoration (crowns, bridges, etc.)
  • 3D printing resins for dental models used for thermoforming (dental trays, splints, etc.)
  • 3D printing resins Burnout for casting of fixed crowns or stellites (metal or ceramic)

For 2018, Prodways also announces the launch of new resins that will be available on the new MOVINGLight® platform:

  • A 3D printing resin dedicated to surgical guide applications and temporary bridge crowns
  • A new 3D printing material for hearing aids

The development of these new materials is based on the experience of the companies recently acquired by Prodways Group: French dental laboratory Cristal, as well as Interson Protac, a leading French company that manufactures ear tips and custom hearing protectors.

  • Sale of a ProMaker P4500 HT 3D printer to a major aerospace player

Following its partnership with Safran and the recent launch by Renaissance Services, an integrated US company supporting aerospace and defence companies, of a new entity specializing in additive manufacturing using its technology, Prodways Technologies confirms its expertise in the aerospace sector with the sale of a SLS 3D printer from the Powered by Farsoon range, the ProMaker P4500 HT, to a leading aircraft manufacturer.

This industrial 3D printer is characterized by its high-temperature production capacity (up to 220°C), unique in its segment, and by a very large production platform (400mm x 400mm x 600mm) This opens up new development opportunities for the aerospace sector. The ProMaker 4500 HT 3D printer will be used by its R&D center to develop new applications and design parts with complex geometries and aerodynamic properties that are difficult to manufacture using standard methods for parts used in engines, Turbines, aircraft wings or cabin interiors.

3D printing for the aerospace sector is a priority market for Prodways Group, which already has more than ten major players in the industry among its customers.

These announcements confirm once again the unique positioning of the Prodways group, which has developed throughout the additive manufacturing value chain to meet the needs of high-value industrial sectors such as aeronautics and medical.
