Figure 4 Standalone
Affordable industrial-grade solution for lower cost production parts
3D Systems Figure 4 is built for speed, accuracy and repeatability…
The Past and Future of Stereolithography (SLA)
Figure 4 technology gets its name from the Fig. 4 illustration in Chuck Hull’s original patent filing for SLA in 1984. This configuration holds the key to achieving the breakthrough speeds of current Figure 4 installations.
Affordable
With a compact and easy-to-use design, Figure 4 Standalone delivers industrial-grade durability at an affordable price and low total cost of operations – up to 20 percent lower part cost compared to traditionally manufactured parts and operations.
Versatile
Quick and easy material changeover allows for functional prototyping and production applications diversity with the same printer. Featuring a manual material feed, it is augmented with separate post-processing units available for cleaning, drying and curing.
Fast
Achieve same-day functional prototyping and low volume production with ultra-high speeds. Figure 4 Standalone offers quality, accuracy and Six Sigma repeatability (Cpk > 2) with industrial-grade durability, service and support. Figure 4 Standalone was designed for ease-of-use, and includes file preparation and print management with 3D Systems 3D Sprint™ software.
Production Grade Materials
The Figure 4 Standalone materials are especially developed for the production of end-use parts and for fast prototyping applications.
