3D Systems, the originator of 3D printing, is continuing to innovate with new advanced Stereolithography (SLA) investment casting solutions—a new antimony-free print material along with a new internal diamond structure casting pattern, with new UV curable bonding and patch materials.
Accura® Fidelity™ - Expected availability: Q1 2020
- Materials developed to produce QuickCast investment casting master patterns
- Antimony free material
- Ultra-low CTE—the lowest CTE of all previous SLA materials developed for QuickCast
- Ultra-low ash content (<0.010%)
- Low viscosity for fast and effective pattern draining
QuickCast® Diamond™ - Expected availability: 1H 2020
- Advanced configurable internal lattice structure enabling normalization of pattern properties, process and material efficiencies
- Efficient internal structures resulting in reduced resin consumption
- Diamond structure lattice yields normalization of XYZ pattern physical properties for consistent burnout forces inside ceramic molds to prevent cracking
- Smart features in 3D Sprint adapt the internal diamond structure to act as automatic support of internal down hanging geometry
- Software features also allow full control of physical pattern parameters and full control of vent and drain placement
Accura® Bond™ - Expected availability: Q1 2020
- Post-processing material as part of 3D Systems total
- SLA investment casting offering
- Low viscosity post-processing UV curable material
- Joins printed patterns together to create a larger pattern
Accura® Patch™ - Expected availability: Q1 2020
- Post-processing material as part of 3D Systems total
- SLA investment casting offering
- High viscosity post-processing UV curable material
- Fills vent and drain holes on the printed pattern
