New Materials Pave the Way for New Applications

Today, 3D Systems is also announcing new DLP and SLS materials to continue the expansion of its robust plastic 3D printing solution portfolio - enabling new production workflows.

The company is announcing immediate availability ofFigure 4 FLEX-BLK 10, a flexible material for the production of exceptionally durable propylene-like black parts. This material is ideal for functional assemblies and prototypes, master patterns for RTV/silicone molding, short-run production, and concept and marketing models. Figure 4 FLEX-BLK 10 joins the portfolio of currently available Figure 4 materials which includesFigure 4 TOUGH-GRY 10,Figure 4 TOUGH-GRY 15,Figure 4 ELAST-BLK 10, andFigure 4 JCAST-GRN 10.

3D Systems is also announcing the planned release of additional Figure 4 materials to add to its range of applications:

  • Figure 4 TOUGH-BLK 20(anticipated availability Q3 2019) - an ABS-like black material with industry-leading UV stability and high accuracy for production applications.
  • Figure 4 MED-AMB 10and Figure 4 MED-WHT 10 (anticipated availability Q3 2019) - a transparent amber and a white biocompatible material that is sterilizable and capable of meeting ISO 10993-5 and ISO 10993-10, suitable for use in general medical applications requiring translucency, sterilization, and/or thermal resistance, as well as consumer high temperature applications where rigid function are desirable with transparency or white color properties.
  • Figure 4 HI-TEMP-AMB 250(anticipated availability Q4 2019) - a very high thermal-resistant material (HDT > 250C) for design verification testing, motor enclosures, and low pressure molding/tooling with transparency for flow visualization.

'The newest additions to our plastic 3D printing portfolio demonstrate our commitment to driving the adoption of digital manufacturing,' said Vyomesh Joshi, president and CEO, 3D Systems. 'With the industry's first, truly scalable plastic production platform and our robust selection of materials, 3D Systems enables customers to rethink manufacturing and realize improved agility, reduced complexity, and lower overall total cost of operation.'
