Searchng for a bureau using projet 4500

Tlomax · 2015-05-11T17:14:53.000Z

Hi all

I am a sculptor looking for a bureau that has a projet 4500 preferably in Europe or USA.

I have been waiting for a UK bureau for 3 months to print two models for me but their projet 4500 is constantly under repair. My searches have come up with nothing as bureaux never seem to state what printers they are using.

Any help news information would be most welcome

Please visit my website to see what I am up to www.tlomax.co.uk

Hi Tlomax, why are you only looking for the projet 4500? Won’t other printers also fit your needs? If you want a quick high quality print for a reasonable price you can check out my hub: www.3dhubs.com/siegen/hubs/Marius I also offer special materials, like wood, bamboo and metal composites. Feel free to contact me for a price estimation. Kind regards, Marius Breuer

Hi Marius

I checked your site, you have a cool approach I like it especially you can do larger models., I also like your open approach to possibilities of diverse masterials.

To answer your question why the projet pro 4500, on my site you will see I have been workinng with ZCorp printers for the diversity of their colour range, while also working with Voxeljet for larger sculptures.

Recenty I did a project with Stratasys who printed me a couple of sculptures but they soon discovered their connnex 300 could not acheive the colour bending I was looking for throughout the 3D form.

The 3D systems claim their Projet pro 4500 can do this. but so far the bureau I am working with has taken 3 months and the machine keeps failing.(so much for the term RAPID prototyping)!!!.

I would be interested in hearing your comments on this reply.to you.

regards

Tom

Hi Tlomax, Sadly I can’t access your website so I can only imagine, what your models look like. Please upload some pictures or even send me the models via an enquiry on my hub. I’m building miniature vehicles, statues and more as a hobby, due to that I have a big arsenal of colors etc. to do paintjobs, depending on the complexity of the model this might be an option for you. For sharing files you can also contact me via email: Marius.breuer@cad-breuer.de Or for a conversation just add me in Skype: Nickname: “railes123” Kind regards, Marius Breuer

Hey Guys,

I’ve edited out your e-mails. Please use your Hub profiles for the communication That will help others to see a little more info about you as well

Hi Fare 3D

Thanks for the reply most helpful

I wrote down my wesite address incorrectly …“sorry”. it should have read www.tomlomax.co.uk. I have just been on your Fare 3D site and I will upload a couple of files for quotation sometime later today. In the meantime check out what I have been doing, Comments and observations welcome

The small 3D colourprints on the site where done on a Zcorp 510, in plaster. The large ones were done on a Voxeljet, in PMMA and coloured by infiltration or surface felt flocking.

regards

Hi Tlomax, Our experience with sculptures are huge, as we are working with art sculptures and students by regular.
Our best practice to make sculptures is to print them with full color Plaster, attached with our special coating material that turn the Plaster 10 times stronger and miraculously makes the colors vivid and brings them alive.
Look at our recent print for a known Art sculpture in NY, our customers are very happy with our new and experienced approach that totally fits their needs as i guess you would be
looking fwd working with you

Hey Tom,

that’s really cool work!

im interested to find a 4500 in the London area. If you find one, please let us know.

cheers,

AndyL

Hi Andy

Thanks for the comment on the art work. I have be investigating print bureaux using high end colour printers for a year or so now. I am interested in the blending aspect of the 3D systems process. I did think that the Stratasys Connex 3000 would do and they kindly did a test for me, but they then realised the blending would not work , They told me the that the hardware can do it but their software is not up to it and they are developing it have the capability now. The reason for my posting requesting a machine outside the UK is difficult to find out what machines are being used at which bureaux. I have had more response in one hour on this hub than all the hours of emails, websearches and phone calls I have made.

The nearest to London I have found is a company CDG post code GU34 2YT but their Projet 4500 is acting up and so it has been 3 months since I sent files and time is running out for me as I have self impossed deadlines.
