31 Aug KP Adds 3D Printing in a Big Way!
Kingdom Productions has expanded their fabrication capabilities with the addition of the Massivit 5000 3D Printer. This system enables production of large scale elements up to 4′ x 5′ x 6′, printed with proprietary polymer gels that are cured instantly with UV light. Elements can be run in varying resolutions from 1.5mm down to the highest definition setting at .5mm. The 5000 can also print at remarkably greater speeds than other 3D printing systems, enabling enhanced turnaround times where forms can enter the finishing or assembly process much quicker than with traditional methods of sculpting or forming. The printer can also produce high-quality mold shapes for reproducing multiples in other materials. Materials include opaque gels that are durable without coatings for many applications but can also be hard-coated for high touch environments. Translucent gels can also be run to create internally illuminated shapes for signage, icons, light fixtures, and more.
