Rapid Shape S50+ — Technical data

The S50+ is the jewellery version of Rapid Shape's large floor-standing printer; as the HA50+, the same machine runs in hearing aid production. Technically it matches the D50+: DLP exposure at 385 nm, build area 231 × 130 mm, build height up to 300 mm, or 100 mm with the optional ASM separation module. For jewellery it prints burnout patterns in castable resin, usually at 35 µm layers, and according to the manufacturer about 190 rings fit in one job. Hearing aid shells use 100 µm. ±34 µm in XY and a weight of 120 kg are stated.

For casting houses and jewellery makers buying used, what counts is which profile is installed and which castable resins are unlocked, since burnout behaviour and detail depend on the parameter set. An HA50+ from audiology can be switched over in software; discuss this with the dealer beforehand. Vats are often heavily worn after castable resin use. At 1.66 m tall and 120 kg, installation needs preparation. Also check whether the ASM is present and the unit can be transferred in the customer portal.
