Transform Your Products Page 3 Reasons To Upgrade Eliminate jump to rest issues with speed improvements of up to 30% in some cases Smooth 3-D graphics with the new Buildstation ™ 5.5 software Less issues with large build files Comes with Windows XP Pro Machine control PC capable of running 3D Lightyear ™ 1.5 software

Transform Your Products Page 4 Jump To Rest Improvements In some cases, (mainly the Viper ™ HR SLA ® system with a large number of parts with small features), the I/O buffer would overflow and the laser would stop drawing until the buffer was flushed and reloaded. This could happen many times per layer resulting in overall throughput dropping by as much as 30-50%

Transform Your Products Page 11 Summary – Viper HR SLA system build mode Scanning as much as 32% faster However scanning is only 20-40% of total build time (23 vs 110 shells) Therefore throughput is 5-30% faster depending on amount of scanning during a build Faster scanning will have an improvement proportional to total scanning time in cases where jump to rest is an issue

Transform Your Products Page 12 Ordering Information Note: Customer must be eligible for Buildstation 5.5 software or there will be additional software upgrade charges
13
Transform Your Products Page 13 Saving calculation on PC upgrade alone Simple hourly method running a SLA System is approximately US$5500 per month including depreciation, service, laser, resin, etc. equate to $35 per hour on a one shift 5 day week One hour of build time savings per shift would be $35 x 5 x 52 weeks = $9,100 per year If the machine is run for 3 shifts the savings would increase Capacity method The capacity of each machine is increased 10% 10% of the cost of a Viper HA SLA system is $18-20K
