ProJet MJP 3600 Series -- High throughput for more productivity The new ProJet MJP 3600 Series prints at up to twice the speed of the previous generation. With powerful data processing capabilities that support files up to 250% larger, the ProJet MJP 3600 brings enhanced productivity to a wide range of prototyping, casting and end-use part production needs. The series’ VisiJet M3 plastic materials deliver incredible detail, high temperature resistance and watertight surfaces perfect for fluid flow visualization, design verification and snap-fit assemblies. The ProJet MJP 3600 Series includes models for printing detailed wax patterns for jewelry casting and precise patterns for other lost wax foundry casting applications. It also answers the need in dental applications for precise models and casting wax ups. With the ability to print in USP Class VI capable, bio-compatible materials, the ProJet MJP 3600 can be used in advanced healthcare applications, including drill and cut guides for dental and medical procedures. The ProJet MJP 3600 Series is now available for order and anticipated to ship by the end of January 2016.
