A 3D colour printer's novel 24 bit colour capabilities and high resolution allow companies to produce high quality 3D models in a matter of hours rather than days with conventional techniques.
On a firm foundation of Reprographic service and solutions Hobs have developed a network of 26 branches and over 375 employees across the UK and Ireland serving the AEC and large format technical print market.
With the Contex Designmate range of 3D printers, a whole new dimension can be offered to the customer.
By offering the service as a bureau, the first Designmate Cx in the country has been installed into Hobs Deansgate, Manchester.
This not only enables Hobs to move forward in the 3D CAD marketplace, but also allows their customers to easily acquire a 3D model, quickly and cost effectively.
Hobs also aim to become the 'centre of excellence' in the 3D arena, and will offer hands on knowledge and expertise to assist the user in all aspects of creating a 3D model, from electronic design to the final 3D output.
"Many of our customers use Hobs to print their tender documents and so quality of presentation is paramount" said David Gordon, Chief Executive, North of England.
"With the addition of the Contex Designmate, customers will be able to show their presentation models, and accurately convey their concept models early in the design process.
Colour will allow them to address form fit and function errors, with the ability to label and mark models clearly, streamlining their design and manufacturing process and saving money.
We are confident that the Designmate's low running costs, speed and quality will enable our customers to win business we may not otherwise have got.".
