Advancement & Expansion
With 2010
in full swing we wanted update you on the latest at Harvest
Technologies.
In spite of the recession in 2009, we have expanded our additive
manufacturing
capacity considerably and will be moving into a new 40,000 square foot
facility
this spring.
Additionally we
have
implemented significant upgrades to our existing fleet of machines which
have
increased our throughput and further improved our quality.
Below are some highlights for your review.
Added
2 more laser sintering systems and an ultra high resolution ProJet 3000 HD
bringing our total fleet count to 23 systems Installed
digital scanning systems on 2 of our SLS platforms to for greater speed,
accuracy and predictability Developed
proprietary new rigid, but flexible and tough SLS Composite XT material Collaborating
in R&D initiative to develop a new MultiZone quartz heater system for
better thermal control of SLS platforms Developed
proprietary build optimization techniques for improved build speed and superior
mechanical properties Recertified
AS9100/ISO 9000b quality system in December with 94+ rating Have
begun selling and servicing ProJet™ and V-Flash™ 3D modeling systems

Process Spotlight: ProJet™
3D Modeler
Utilizing
patented MJM™ technology, the ProJet modeler rapidly produces extremely
high
resolution 3D objects with exceptional detail, surface quality and
dimensional
accuracy in functional ABS-like plastic.
Layer
thickness of .0006" Ultra High Def (UHD) mode & .0016" in High Def (HD)
mode Builds
tiny parts, features and walls as small as .010" Surfaces
that need little or no finishing for aesthetic and functional applications Can
be post-processed, painted or metal plated for aesthetic or structural
enhancements Functional
prototypes, aesthetic models, casting patterns, tooling & end-use parts
