3D Systems heads toward production with Figure 4 and the world’s fastest time-to-part 3D Printer Hardware

by Technologies

This week at RAPID + TCT 2018, 3D Systems is showcasing its portfolio of industry-leading solutions that are helping manufacturers move from prototyping to production and realize competitive advantages. One such platform designed for production is Figure 4 Production and Figure 4 Standalone – the fastest, most accurate 3D printing technology available. Recently released data on Figure 4 Production highlights part print speeds up to 65mm/hr, with prototyping speeds of up to 100 mm/hr. The Figure 4 platform delivers part accuracy and repeatability, with Six Sigma repeatability (Cpk > 2) across all materials. The combination of speed and accuracy complemented by a light-based UV curing process that takes minutes versus hours with heat-based curing processes yields the world’s fastest additive manufacturing throughput and time-to-part.

Ridiculously hot electric superbike built with 3DXTECH’s Carbon X filament Additive Manufacturing

by Automotive

3DXTECH, a US-based leader in high-performance 3D printing filaments, is showing off an insane electric superbike at the upcoming RAPID+TCT show in Fort Worth, Texas. Several parts of the smoking hot ride are clearly 3D printed using the Carbon X composite filament range, which combines high-modulus carbon fiber and premium resins. These filaments are ideal for applications that require superior stiffness, ease of printing, improved dimensional stability, UV-resistance, and lighter weight parts vs. standard structural materials.
