We believe that the combination of Canon's mixed reality technology with 3D printing brings a new paradigm to 3D business solutions.”
“We are thrilled with the success that Canon Marketing Japan has already had with our advanced manufacturing 3D printers and are excited to bring the rest of our portfolio to Canon,” said Michele Marchesan, Chief Opportunity Officer, 3DS. “We believe that the addition of our entire portfolio will be meaningful and impactful to our professional Japanese users.”
3DS’ ProJet series of printers cover a range of 3D printing technologies including ColorJet Printing (CJP), MultiJet Printing (MJP) and stereolithography (SLA) and includes the best-selling ProJet 3500 series for functional prototyping, dental and jewelry applications.
