3D prints. And the high-quality seal ensures the 3D product, model, or prototype is protected, smooth, and won’t lose its dimensional accuracy with time.

Of course, prosthetics and orthotics represent an important and thriving segment of 3D Explorer’s operations. However, there are several other sectors where 3D Explorer manufacturing proficiency is gaining in popularity.

For example, continuing in the health sector, 3D Explorer is now able to help surgeons turn organ MRIs into 3D printed models on which they can practice in preparation for complex surgeries – to find the most effective surgical path.

In the manufacturing sector, rapid, full-colour prototyping allows product designers and engineers to turn concepts into fully functional, engineering-grade parts that can be tested within tight timeframes. It also helps them to create electronic components, custom fixtures, jigs and guides, vital for precision and replicability in the manufacturing process. In the building and design sector, it allows architects, builders and property developers to create 3D architecture models, aiding their marketing efforts and helping their clients to visualise the proposed projects. In the adjacent art scene, artists are now capable of introducing 3D textures in their artwork and producing full-scale, coloured sculptures.

In addition, 3D Explorer has its own application and eyewear brand in consumer products, venEyes: 3D-printed customised eyewear. With each pair perfectly fitting the contours of the customer’s face. The ability to only print what is required helps consumer brands avoid overproduction and, in turn, lift their environmentally friendly status. This is particularly important within the health and fashion sector, which is often demonised for dumping last season’s inventory in the landfill. 3dexplorer.com.au

New cleanroom rated static eliminator is a lightweight handsfree solution.

EXAIR’s new Intellistat Ion Air Nozzle is the latest solution for static elimination in sensitive processes. Like the Intellistat Ion Air Gun, this new Nozzle provides a lightweight solution rated Class 5 for clean rooms and controlled environments per ISO 14644-1. The Ion Air Nozzle comes equipped with a mounting bracket to assist with remote mounting or benchtop assembly for hands-free use. It will reduce 1000 volts to less than 100 in 0.6 seconds and up to 610mm away. The Intellistat Ion Air Nozzle is a comprehensive solution for neutralizing static in sensitive processes like scientific and electronic testing, cleaning medical or pharmaceutical products and packaging, or removing debris from sensitive electronics. Including a compact stainless steel adjustable mounting bracket, the Intellistat nozzle can be mounted to benchtops and machine frames, for example, to provide hands-free operation when needing both hands to package, test or assemble parts and products. The nozzle is equipped with an LED indicator to assure proper functionality and employs an EXAIR-engineered air nozzle to maximise efficiency and meet OSHA requirements for sound level and dead-end pressure. Its durable static dissipative polycarbonate housing and non-marring nozzle assures the usefulness of the Intellistat in applications such as PCB or electronics manufacturing, and in sterile environments such as pharmaceutical and medical laboratories.
