LAUNCHING NEW PRINTING MATERIAL FOR 3D SYSTEMS FIGURE 4 3D PRINTER

3D Systems is pleased to announce the new Tough Clear material. This is the first transparent resin for Figure 4 3D printers. This resin is ideal for producing final parts for assembly without the need for prototyping. Tough Clear has good UV and moisture resistance properties. The clear resin helps to prevent fading or discoloration over a long period of time. Users can be confident that their parts will last over time, as with all other materials used for Figure 4 3D printers. Tough Clear Material Features
The tough Tough Clear has the desired combination of key customer performance characteristics. These include impact resistance, tensile strength and elongation. Features and benefits of Tough Clear include:

Excellent clarity that can be further improved with post-processing (e.g. clear coating)

Long-term environmental stability with durable mechanical properties and performance

Allows observation of the inner workings of complex assemblies

Longer life and reusable prototypes; reduces reprints due to yellowing in outdoor temperatures.

Tough Clear material applications

High-volume, low-volume plastic final production parts

Heavy-duty handles, levers, knobs and cranks

Lighting housings, cases and reflectors

Lens

FMCG/consumer packaging (e.g. cosmetics)
