Also, during the year, HP announced that the company will kick off an industrial\u00a0inkjet 3D printer\u00a0in the near future without involving itself in the desktop 3D printing market. As an industrial 3D printer outweighs a desktop peer in terms of technology requirements and market value, it was only a natural next step for desktop 3D printer leaders to expand into the industrial side of the market.<\/p>\n<p>CTC&#8217;s new square-shaped printer is 1.75\u00a0meters in length, 1.10\u00a0meters in width, and 1.95\u00a0meters in height. With a\u00a0basic brown-green color, it has\u00a0a flexural inner panel and a\u00a0box spanner that allows for a higher level of customization. The printer also comes equipped with stereolithography 3D printing functionality.<\/p>\n<p>Stereolithography 3D printing is one of the most wildly used materials deposition-based 3D printing technologies for industrial applications. According to preliminary statistics, over 50 percent of industrial 3D printers installed across the world are stereolithography ones.<\/p>\n<p>The Riverbase 500 laser stereolithography 3D printer features\u00a0include:\u00a0stable operation and mobility of high precision-screw rails; negative pressure-and-adsorption-based system enabling reliable and uniform coatings;\u00a0automated optimization of software-designed scanning paths, which allows for faster processing;\u00a0online measurement of laser power; setting and optimization of technological parameters;\u00a0automated liquid level control, which ensures precision of product processing;\u00a0solid design; and\u00a0high level of automation, which supports fully automated control and 24-hour unattended processing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zhuhai CTC Electronic Co. announced its foray into the industrial 3D printing market by launching Riverbase 500, its first industrial SLA 3D printer featuring laser galvanometer scanning technology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":21497,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,70],"tags":[1883,727,307,4040,4041,4042],"class_list":["post-21496","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-headlines","category-printers","tag-3d","tag-3d-printing","tag-printer","tag-riverbase-500","tag-stereolithography-3d-printing","tag-zhuhai-ctc-electronic-co"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21496","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21496"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21496\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21497"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21496"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21496"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21496"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
