Figure 4 Standalone
AFFORDABLE INDUSTRIAL-GRADE SOLUTION FOR LOWER COST PRODUCTION PARTS
Affordable and versatile for low-volume production and fast prototyping, offering quality and accuracy with industrial-grade durability, service and support.
Capable of digital texturing that rivals injection molded part quality without the time and cost of tooling, Figure 4 Standalone is compatible with a variety of robust materials. Featuring a manual material feed, Figure 4 Standalone is augmented with separate post-processing units available for cleaning, drying and curing.
Range of Materials
The Figure 4 Standalone materials are especially developed for the production of end-use parts and for fast prototyping applications. Use the Figure 4 RGD-GRY 10 high speed, rigid, dark gray material or the Figure 4 RGD-GRY 15 rigid gray material for production applications, Figure 4 ELAST-BLK 10 elastomeric black material for design and test applications and Figure 4 JCAST-GRN 10 castable green material for jewelry applications.
Manufacturing Redefined
3D Systems Figure 4 makes 3D production a reality—with increased productivity, durability, repeatability and lower total cost of operations (TCO). Figure 4 delivers productivity enabled through speed and automation with real world repeatable, accurate parts with demonstrated Six Sigma performance in a diverse range of robust, production-grade materials.
Modular Platform Grows with Manufacturing Needs
Delivered in configurable units for anytime scalability, Figure 4 allows manufacturing capacity to grow alongside demand – from a standalone printer for rapid prototyping and low volume direct 3D production, to modular systems that grow as your volume grows, up to a fully-automated, fully-integrated factory solution.
High Speed Digital Molding
| Figure 4™ delivers ultra-fast additive manufacturing technology in discrete modules, allowing it to be placed into automated assembly lines and integrated with secondary processes, including the washing, drying and curing of end-use parts. Digital molding reduces development costs, increases productivity by eliminating the cost and time of expensive tooling. The digital molding workflow process speeds and simplifies production with automation of low volume plastic parts production. Figure 4 delivers repeatable, true-to-CAD part accuracy in an agile, in-line manufacturing workflow. |
Broad Range of Materials
3D Systems’ Material Design Center has over 30 years of proven R&D experience and process development expertise. The production-grade materials available for Figure 4 include a broad and expanding range of materials to enable true replacement of traditional molding and urethane casting.
Advance Your Workflow with 3D Sprint
Figure 4 solutions use 3D Sprint™, 3D Systems’ advanced software for file preparation, editing, printing and management from a single, intuitive interface. 3D Sprint enables the customer to significantly decrease cost of ownership of their 3D printers by reducing the need for costly software seats by third party vendors. 3D Sprint automatically generates exceptionally efficient supports requiring far less material, which can lead to significant savings.
