Many of these represent true paradigm shifts in their specific segment and it is interesting to consider that they all implement different technologies (or at least different technological grades): 3SP photopolymerization, MJF powder bed fusion, FFF extrusion, industrial SLS powder bed fusion, SLA photopolymerization and Benchtop SLS powder bed fusion. It's nice to know that they are all real and (almost) ready to go. EnvisionTEC showed off [the latest version of its Vector 3SP system, with ](https://www.voxelmatters.com//envisiontec-upgrades-large-format-3sp-systems-25-micron-resolution-capability/)[25-micron resolutio](https://www.voxelmatters.com//envisiontec-upgrades-large-format-3sp-systems-25-micron-resolution-capability/)n capability. The system represents a confirmation that EnvisionTEC's quality will continue to be hard to equal by its competitors. ![](https://www.voxelmatters.com//wp-content/uploads/2018/04/hannover-EnvisionTEC.jpg) HP had a perfectly running version of its [new ](https://www.voxelmatters.com//hp-next-phase-full-color-3d-printer/)full color HP Jet Fusion 500 Series system. For HP it means that the company once again has kept its promise, delivering the full-color system within two years after the initial MJF launch. The 300 and 500 series will likely represent a tough competitor for the currently market dominating ProJet 660 using CJP technology from 3D Systems. ![](https://www.voxelmatters.com//wp-content/uploads/2018/04/hannover-HP.jpg) Ultimaker had a number of the [new, larger format, S5 3D printers](https://www.voxelmatters.com//ultimaker-launches-new-larger-format-ultimaker-s5/) at its booth. The system looks as stylish as previous products but much more solid and technologically advanced. With double extrusion, it is likely to continue to be the market leading prosumer filament extrusion system. ![](https://www.voxelmatters.com//wp-content/uploads/2018/04/hannover-ultimaker-S5.jpg) 3D Systems showed off a number of products, in particular, the [latest ProX 6100 SLS system](https://www.voxelmatters.com//3d-systems-prox-sls-6100-cost-effective-production-parts/) and the conveniently priced, plug & play FabPro 1000 system. Both devices clearly represent the company's intention to go back to basic, relaunching itself by offering high-quality industrial level products at more competitive prices for both hardware and materials.

The [era of benchtop SLS](https://www.voxelmatters.com//3d-printing-benchtop-sls-rachel-park/) can finally begin. Fuse1 will have to face off with Sinterit, Sintratec and others in the segment and, while the prototype system on display looked to be still somewhat far from being ready to launch - Formlabs has the muscle to disrupt the SLS market as it did for SLA. ![](https://www.voxelmatters.com//wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Hannover-Fuse1.jpg)
