Envisiontec Launch the Aureus Modeller

As mentioned last week in my post from the Materialise Seminar Day, Envisiontec were due to drop a major machine launch this week.

Well, we can now exclusively announce that Envisiontec GmbH have launched their latest machine at the World Watch and Jewellery Show. Baselworld in Switzerland this week. The Aureus (which means golden in Latin) is a new high resolution desktop machine designed for the jewellery market. It will have the capability to produce between 25 and 50 rings a day which will address the needs of most small to medium sized jewellers.

Accuracy on this machine is improved to 43 microns and the build envelope is 60 x 45 x 100 mm - it will be priced at €35,000

I spoke to Martin Forth, Vice President of Sales about an hour ago direct from the Envisiontec booth at the show. Martin reports a fantastic response to the machine and estimates that several months worth of stock of the machine has sold in the first day and second morning of the show.

"We knew it would be well received. It represents a major breakthrough as it combines low acquisition costs with high quality but the response has been much better than we expected and we are having to quote lead times a little longer than we would normally such has been the reaction to the launch"

Nice to hear such positive noises and results.....
