As the National Research Center for Nuclear Energy (NRNU), the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute (MEPhI) and her students challenged the development and creation of changing products. The ProJet 460Plus printer continues to provide an innovative model that pays attention to research and development speed with effective work efficiency and stand by.
　　 NRNU MEPhI college students have always relied on outside companies to help them make prototype prototypes. The main obstacle is that any traditional component production takes a long time. But when the goal becomes the need to innovate and develop products to solve recent problems, it is unacceptable to make sample models that require more than one day of production time.
　　The solution to this prototype dilemma is to use 3D Systems' ProJet? 460Plus, a full-color 3D printer. The school chose to use it because of its high level of detail, color selection and ease of use. It helps students reduce the time to manufacture accurate and realistic prototype samples, and no longer have the pressure to rely on third-party companies. NRNU MEPhI) Academy and her students challenged the development and creation of changing products. The ProJet 460Plus printer continues to provide effective work efficiency and support to an innovative model that pays attention to research and development speed.
Research and development of capsule endoscope
 
　　 ProJet 460Plus has an advanced 3-channel CMY color reduction system, which is extremely easy to use. It is the world's most affordable color 3D printer, which can perfectly produce realistic color and accurate design display models and conceptual prototypes. The first project where ProJet 460Plus demonstrated its capabilities was MEPhI's capsule endoscopy project.
 
　　 capsule endoscope is set for traditional gastrointestinal endoscopy procedures, which is a cost-effective alternative. After the patient swallows it, the capsule will travel down the digestive tract for about 8 hours, take pictures along the downward trajectory, and transmit the pictures to the recorder in real time. The doctor can make a diagnosis through the data provided by the capsule endoscope.
 
　　Other capsules of the same nature are used in Russian clinics. They are manufactured abroad and are 3-4 times more expensive than domestic ones. Considering the high price, it is under economic pressure or totally unbearable for many patients. For the capsule endoscope developed by MEPh Academy, price is a very important factor.
 
　　 Their plan is to use domestic materials to make capsule endoscopes in China to reduce costs, but the first thing they need to do is to optimize the capsule endoscope and the receiver. They also have many other projects in progress. The designers of capsule endoscopes at NRNU MEPhI Academy don’t know how many prototypes they need to use to make the design the most perfect-even a small change will cause drastic changes in the size and structure of the capsule. -Once external contractors are no longer used, production speed is also an issue. Fortunately, the school got the ProJet 460Plus printer in the mid-stage of development. Within two days of receiving the printer, the engineer printed various capsule readers and the entire system.
 
　　 With the help of Projet 460Plus, they made four copies of the equipment, including the endoscopic capsule equipment.
 
　　 In addition, based on the final design, the engineer was able to make a plastic master model that was manually ground and polished. They started from using the ProJet 460Plus to putting the capsule endoscope into production, and it only took one month. Scientists at NRNU MEPhI Academy estimated that they reduced the product window by at least an order of magnitude and completed the entire product schedule ahead of schedule.
 
　　 Even now, the ProJet 460Plus printer has promoted the capsule endoscopy project. This printer continues to provide key rapid prototyping capabilities to help improve the project progress of students, technical department leaders, and cooperative students. In addition, it allows young scientists and engineers more freedom to focus on finding solutions instead of waiting for sample prototypes and logistics.
