![]() ![]() Building on 3D Systems’ portfolio of production-grade materials, the Figure 4 RUBBER-65A BLK is also engineered for long-term environmental stability, and is tested per UL94 standards. The new Figure 4 RUBBER-65A BLK material is a mid-tear strength elastomer with a high elongation at break for flexibility and durability. Combined together, 3D Systems aims to enable high productivity for jewelers, reportedly allowing them to create prints ready for casting or molding in a matter of hours. Finally, 3D Systems’ Figure 4 Production is designed as a tool-less manufacturing solution with automated material delivery and integrated post-processing.Įarlier in 2020, 3D Systems released a new package for the Figure 4 3D printing platform designed specifically for the production of jewelry it includes a Figure 4 jewelry 3D printer alongside jewelry castable material and 3D Sprint software. The Figure 4 Modular on the other hand is a scalable and semi-automated production system that can range from a single print engine machine to 24 or more print engines with integration of centralized post-processing, automated materials-handling, job management and queuing. The standalone iteration was released in late 2018, comprising one 3D printing system. Based on Digital Light Printing (DLP) technology, Figure 4 3D printing is reportedly capable of reaching print speeds of 100mm per hour and six sigma repeatability. The Figure 4 technology platform developed by 3D Systems is composed of three core products: the standalone, modular and production iterations. “Our material scientists and technical experts have leveraged decades of experience to engineer these high performing materials to deliver accurate, economical, and repeatable results to enable our customers to maintain competitive advantage.” Parts produced using Figure 4 RUBBER-65A BLK and 3D Systems’ Figure 4 technology can be produced faster than other similar competitive materials that require a secondary thermal post-cure. “Our team has continued developing new materials across our plastics portfolio to address a broader set of production applications and providing data sheets with key test results and performance specs to make it easy for our customers to make the optimal material choice for their needs,” explains Menno Ellis, SVP and general manager, plastics, 3D Systems. With the new releases, 3D Systems intends to open up new uses for its materials. Each of the materials are designed to be used with 3D Systems’ Figure 4 3D printing platform, as well as its selection of SLA 3D printers. The materials included in the expansion include Figure 4 RUBBER-65A BLK, Accura Fidelity, Accura Bond, Accura Patch, and Figure 4 JEWEL MASTER GRY. ![]() 3D printer OEM 3D Systems has announced an expansion to its portfolio of plastics materials, in order to increase the breadth of their applications for manufacturers in the 3D printing industry. ![]()
