The NNMC is pleased to announce that their Multi Proto Lab won the Exhibiter Innovation Award at the RAPID 2013 Exhibition last week. The patent-pending Multi Proto Lab is an all-in-one rapid prototyping system capable of integrating 3D Printing, precision milling, drop-on-demand printing and much more in a single machine. It is the only machine on the market with this capability. The Multi Proto Lab is also capable of producing fully-operational, multiple-material parts in one machine.
PRLog - Jun 17, 2013 - VIDALIA, Ga. -- The National Nanotechnology Manufacturing Center (NNMC) of Swainsboro, GA is pleased to announce that their Multi Proto Lab won the Exhibiter Innovation Award at the RAPID 2013 Exhibition in Pittsburgh, PA last week.
The award is presented for the most innovative product at the Exhibition.
RAPID 2013 was organized by the Society of Mechanical Engineers in conjunction with RTAM, the Rapid Technologies & Additive Manufacturing Community.
The patent-pending Multi Proto Lab is an all-in-one rapid prototyping system capable of integrating 3D Printing, precision milling, drop-on-demand printing, extrusion deposition and much more in a single machine. It is the only machine on the market with this capability.
“Performing all these processes in one machine provides many benefits including lower up-front cost, faster prototyping, amazing precision, lower prototype production costs, plus much more.” said Calvin Close, the Marketing Manager at NNMC.
Close said, "It is deep honor for us to receive this award, and it confirms our market research that the Multi Proto Lab represents a major innovation in the rapid prototyping field".
The Multi Proto Lab is a multi-module machine. Each module, or attachment, performs a unique process, such as 3D printing, Drop-on-Demand printing, laser curing and many others. The MPL picks up a module (such as the 3D Dual Additive Printing Head) and performs that process on the prototype part. Once that process is completed, the Multi Proto Lab then picks up another head (such as Drop-on-Demand Printing Head) and performs that process on the same prototype piece.
This process can be repeated with an unlimited number of different modules until a completely functioning part is produced. The number of modules and their individual processes are limited only by the imagination and need of the user.
The Multi Proto Lab is also capable of producing fully-operational, multiple-material parts in one machine.
The Multi Proto Lab opens rapid prototyping to far more organizations because of its lower up-front and operating costs.
Currently, the Multi Proto Lab comes in two models, the compact MPL-1000 and the larger MPL-2000.
The main differences between the models are the maximum prototype size the machines are capable of producing, and the number of modules that the platforms can hold.
For either machine, you can increase the capabilities of the machine by manually changing out modules.
More than five years and over $1 million has been spent on developing the Multi Proto Lab.
