3D Systems has today unveiled its latest Figure 4 materials designed for the production of plastic parts without the need for tooling.
.
Announced during TCT Show , Figure 4 Production Black 10 is an advanced photopolymer material, the company’s first 3D printable photopolymer to exhibit thermoplastic behaviours. 3D Systems says the material works with a simple isopropyl alcohol (IPA) wash and does not require a secondary thermal post-cure process, which significantly improves throughput yield and reduces extensive solvent cleaning cycles needed with other technologies.
.
Customer tests show the material is allowing parts to be delivered up to four times faster compared to existing 3D printing methodologies. Chris Nicoll, Prototype Lab Manager at D&K Engineering has been using the material lab to produce complex, fine detailed parts without tooling. Nicoll commented: “We created several threaded parts in the same print with a variety of dimensions […]
