Large format printer

 

The laser cutter which uses a beam of light generated and focused in a manner that vaporises material when focused onto a small area. Models can be produced quickly and efficiently since settings can be saved for further use. The mark is permanent, concise and clean. Lasers also have the advantage of engraving onto materials such as wood and other materials that are not able to be engraved by other methods.

 

Large format laminator

 

Covers large prints in a protective plastic coating




 

Large format guillotine

 

Cuts large prints to required size neatly and efficiently




 

Rapid 3D prototype machine

 

The Dimension SST 3D printer can rapidly build your 3D designs in ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene). This tough and functional material can be finished to a very high standard and will accept spray paint enabling a professional look and feel to prototypes. The printer extrudes a fine filament of molten ABS plastic and builds up the model in layers. When the build is complete the finished model is ready for use.

 

Rapid 3D scanner

 

Scans objects in 3 dimensions allowing manipulation on a computer.





 

Laser Cutter

 

The laser cutter which uses a beam of light generated and focused in a manner that vaporises material when focused onto a small area. Models can be produced quickly and efficiently since settings can be saved for further use. The mark is permanent, concise and clean. Lasers also have the advantage of engraving onto materials such as wood and other materials that are not able to be engraved by other methods.

Materials that can be used on the laser cutter include balsa wood, plastic and thin veneer laminates.

 

Dye sublimation printer

 

The DSP vaporized colours permeate the surface of the material e.g. "paper", "fabric", etc. The print head heats up as it passes over the film, causing the dyes to vaporize and permeate the glossy surface of the paper or other materials before they return to solid form.



 

The CLC also has a wide range of other portable technological devices, some of which are available for loan. For more information on equipment loans click here.
