Roland Introduces Unique Spiral Axis Engraver

Hamamatsu, Japan. April 14, 2004. Roland DG Corporation, a worldwide leader of digital solutions for transforming your imagination into reality, today introduced the RX-50 Spiral Axis Engraver.

The result is three-dimensional reliefs of stunning, 4-micron precision.

 

"With the RX-50, you can create high-quality, custom 3D medallions very quickly," said M. Osamura, Roland DG Marketing Manager. "Text and graphics are crisp and beautiful."
