Designed for applications in automotive, aerospace, semiconductor, and consumer goods, the new materials of 3D Systems could be used by third-party SLA 3D printers as well as its proprietary Figure 4® portfolios. They include: Accura® AMX Tough FR V0 Black, Figure 4 Tough FR V0 Black, and Figure 4 JCAST-GRN 20.
Key specifications to keep in mind
Among these new materials, 3D Systems includes a flame-retardant SLA material for large-format 3D printed parts: the Accura AMX Tough FR V0 Black material. Based on a new chemistry, the new material would deliver enhanced part quality and resolution for SLA that was previously only achievable with Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) and Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technologies.
This new flame-retardant material achieves UL 94 V0 rating and is uniquely positioned in the market with its combination of flexural modulus and unmatched elongation at break of nearly 35%. These properties combine with long-term stability to make the new Tough FR V0 Black material ideal for applications such as printed circuit board covers, semiconductor equipment, electrical housing, covers, hangers, brackets, and flame-retardant parts for trains and buses.
The new series also includes a new jewelry casting material that improves Direct Casting workflow. The company reminds that its Figure 4 Jewelry is an affordable solution optimized for jewelry design and manufacturing workflows. With the new Figure 4 JCAST-GRN 20, the manufacturing will be optimized for clean and easy burnout of finely detailed, high-resolution, accurate, repeatable jewelry patterns for direct casting.
This new offering completes 3D Systems’ MultiJet Printing (MJP) offerings for jewelry casting. The material’s enhanced properties make it ideal for the production of master patterns for gypsum investment casting of all types of jewelry, and suitable for a range of precious metals. The fully integrated workflow includes jewelry-specific build styles in 3D Sprint which provides design flexibility. The integrated workflow can also eliminate the need for post-curing, enables a fast turnaround of casting patterns.
Accura AMX Tough FR V0, Figure 4 Tough FR V0 Black and Figure 4 JCAST-GRN 20 are planned for general availability in the third quarter of 2023.
