Re-Invents The Rapid Mockup Market

news!


NR Photo Kira, Japan- May 23, 2006- Kira Corporation, a global manufacturing leader of CNC machining centers and Rapid Prototyping systems has introduced their Second Generation RapidMockup machine for the global market. The new PLT-20 KATANA is a must have solution for every designer or product development executive who is faced with today's harsh realities such as shortening product time-to-market or reducing costs in the product invention and development phase. The KATANA system is a designer friendly solution that is able to produce 3-D Models in a RELIABLE, CLEAN & FAST manner- It is the most efficient & cost effective way to produce a RapidMockup.

Kira's is a pioneer in developing the Paper Laminating System. The models are made of paper; therefore it is a safe and effective method to study product design. The finish quality is far superior to many competitive offerings, and the quality desired & speed can be adjusted based on the specialty paper used, or by choosing between single-lamination or double-lamination. This provides a great deal of versatility to the designer.

KATANA's solution is 200% faster as it utilizes a newly designed cutter-plotter. The system effectively cuts the model slice-by-slice to produce models with superior surface finish. Also, the raw-material paper cost for this system has been reduced by 70%! For design verification, KATANA is the best solution available in the RapidMockup market.

The system is very easy to use as the newly developed software allows users to import STL files (3D-CAD data), adjust model layout, and create parting lines in only 5-minutes. It does not require any complex programming skills and can be used by anyone able to operate a PC. Therefore, KATANA provides ease of use & proven functionality to deliver an effective RapidMockup Solution.


NR Photo The System is currently available with a complete one-year warranty, starter kits, & system software at a price of US$35,000. - The quoted price is our FOB Ex Factory price. [Prices charged by our International Distributor may vary.]
