Customer Testimonials
“This is a huge step in the development of manufacturing to replace injection molding as we see large companies replacing their current manufacturing processes with additive manufacturing parts”
Spencer Loveless, Merit 3D CEO
“3D printing with Magna is going to change fundamentally the way we bring moulds and products to the market. HighTemp DL401 is very good for us because it reaches the higher temperatures necessary for PU injection and keeps them stable”
Giovanni Grigolato, Head of R&D at Grisport
“We could not believe the huge savings brought by 3D printing. The cost of Photocentric’s technology was 80-90% cheaper, a far cry from expensive Injection Moulding costs, even for larger injection series where savings will still be around the 60-70% mark. Equally astonishing was the shorter life cycles, we saved 30% on lead times”
Carlos, Tetralogia
“We got quotes and tested almost every printer in the market for dental applications and no one matched the cost benefit. Photocentric LC Magna was the only printer we analysed that could produce 48 models in 90 minutes. The Magnas are extremely fast, accurate and have a great cost-benefit for both hardware and resin. No one else came even close.”
Michael Ruah Co-founder, SouSmile
“We now have a solid and reliable way of turning our products into reality thanks to our collaboration with Photocentric and their unique technology. Our business is built on helping people and that’s exactly what our partnership enables us to do. We can now provide an advanced 3D printed solution to traditional orthotics globally, at a cost and speed unknown before”
Jordi Tura, Owner Xkelet
