PixCera
The PixCera machine is designed to support Rapid Direct Manufacturing with a low cost, high resolution solution.
Based on the principle of Photopolymerisation the PixCera System creates three dimensional wax based crowns, copings and bridges through a patented Spatial Light Modulation (SLM).
The wax parts are designed for high speed investment casting, allowing a fast one hour burn-out cycle.
System Data Handling
Utilizing a built in Ethernet® interface the PixCera machine can easily connect directly to a PC workstation or be integrated into a network. The PixCera has an embedded PC, which allows the system to work independently from the pre-processing workstation. The machine can be remotely monitored from any computer on the network using the communication software from the PixCera Software Suite. Any STL data format can be easily imported using the PixCera Software Suite.

“You know now I have worked with and have experience in ALL machines...milling machines, Roland, Solidscape, Perfactory. I gotta tell you honestly...I love my desktop. I would not trade it for anything else.Hien Nguyen, Owner, Trademark jewellery
"Perfactory Xtreme has not only high resolution and accuracy but also strength of SI500 material and good surface quality. It's not restricted any shape so that it is easy to build various character shape and machine parts."Mr. Park, Daegu Digital Industry Promotion agency
"The Perfactory MINI is running great! Such nice resolution!" David Crisp, Chief designer, Maui Divers.
"Everything is going very well with the machine. Since we purchased the machine we have made over 4,600 parts. This far exceeds our expectations for the laboratory in general Engineering has really come to enjoy the machine, prepping samples for customer design reviews, in vehicle trials and other things that we were never able to even consider prior to its purchase. Our consumer products group has even used the prototypes for limited consumer trials instead of soft tooling." Alan Romack, Senior Project Engineer, Bowles Fluidics.
The perfactory machine has been an invaluable tool for us at Visteon Corporation. When we look to make a low volume prototype production, the surface quality and the accuracy of the parts produced on the Perfactory coupled with their durability makes the parts useable in functional testing.” Jim Carlisle, Core Mechanical Engineer, Visteon Corporation.
Phonak has successfully employed the EnvisionTec Perfactory technology to produce 98% of their hearing aid shells globally. "We are extremely satisfied with the reliability and throughput of the Perfactory System." Nik Schulz, Teamleader, Phonak Custom Products.
“The part production and quality on the PerfactoryXede® Rapid Prototyping system is way faster and better than any other RP system we have used in the past for making our automotive parts”, Richard Wooldridge, RP Supervisor, Ford Motor Company, Dunton, UK.
“The castings in gold came out beautiful from the new waxy resin WIC100G”, Zsombor Antal, Best Cast, USA.
"We have run without hardly any problems for almost two years straight a definite sign of a great product", Kevin A., Senior RD&E Engineer, Major graduation ring manufacturer, USA.
"The Perfactory® System has made a huge improvement in our manufacturing by reducing labor and improving quality in our Hearing Aid production. Our production managers love the fact that the machine builds fast and is easy to setup while occupying a minimum of shop floor space.
In addition, operator training is simple and newly installed machines are up and running the same day they are delivered. However, it is not just the production department that enjoys these benefits. Since we started using the Perfactory® for product design and development it has reduced our design times and improved the overall new release quality of our products", Russ Schreiner, GN ReSound Corporation, USA.
