VALENCIA,
Calif., Nov. 22, 2004 -
3D Systems Corporation (Nasdaq: TDSC), the leading provider of rapid 3-D printing, prototyping and manufacturing solutions, today announced the availability of the Accura® si 45HC SL material for all SLA® 250 systems. The si 45HC material provides build speeds that are significantly faster than competitive resins available on the market for the legacy system.
Designed with nylon 6:6-like properties, si 45HC material offers outstanding build speed and moisture resistance. In addition, parts made from si 45HC can withstand aggressive in-use high-temperature environments of over 100˚C (212˚F). This results in a material that is ideal for applications such as; temperature resistant parts and components, high stiffness thin-wall enclosures, moisture resistant parts, investment casting patterns and rigid snap-fit assemblies.

“The new Accura
si 45HC SL material is designed specifically for one of our early stereolithography
systems, our SLA 250 system. Introduced to the market in 1988, the SLA 250 system
is a widely used favorite work-horse among our long-time customer base. We are
delighted to continue to support our long-term customers providing them with
a new stereolithography material that improves their bottom line by making models
and parts faster,” said Abe Reichental, 3D Systems’ president
and chief executive officer.
“The si 45HC was developed by working closely with our customer base to determine the best attributes and features required in a material for their applications. The result is a material that enables better utilization of the SLA 250 system through a combination of speed and functionality,” continued Reichental. “The
si 45HC material combines high speed with excellent thermal and moisture resistance
resulting in a material ideally suited for producing functional models and parts
for in-use environmental testing.”
