TECHNOLOGY | 3D PRINTING
The company’s latest offering comprises three complementary technologies, its new SLA 750 and SLA 750 Dual machines (the latter being the first synchronous, dual-laser stereolithography printer) as well as the company’s new Accura AMX Durable Natural material and the PostCure 1050 post-pro- cessing system. The company claims this system is optimised for cost-effective SLA batch part produc- tion at up to twice the speed and triple the throughput of comparable stereolithography systems. Accura AMX Durable Natural resin is designed to withstand repeated high mechanical loads and shocks with a combination of mechanical proper- ties including impact resistance, tear strength, and elongation at break. The new material is tested to ASTM D4329 and ASTM G194 standards and is claimed to meet indoor mechanical performance requirements for up to eight years and outdoor weathering for up to one and a half years. This material displays similar stress/strain toughness performance to standard thermoplastics and exhib- its isotropic mechanical properties to help ensure part strength in any build orientation, according to 3D Systems.
One application that 3D Systems forsees for the
new material is production of large and complex mandrel tooling cores that can be easily removed from convoluted tubing. Such components are said to be invaluable as manufacturing aids for large cooling ducts, pipes, and manifolds used in automotive, aerospace, energy, and consumer goods applications.
