3D Systems has unveiled a range of solutions at the RAPID+TCT 2025 event, aimed at enhancing additive manufacturing capabilities for precision, high-mix, low-volume applications (HMLV). The introduction includes the new Figure 4 135 3D printer and the Figure 4 Tough 75C FR Black material, which are set to benefit industries such as motorsports, furniture, and electrical components.
The Figure 4 135 printer is designed to meet stringent manufacturing standards, particularly in applications requiring a process capability index (CpK) of 1.33 or higher. This printer is expected to replace or supplement traditional injection mold tooling, making it suitable for low-volume production of unique furniture parts, biocompatible medical components, and precision electronics.
Alongside the printer, the new Figure 4 Tough 75C FR Black material features a flame-retardant property that has achieved a UL94 V0 rating, making it ideal for applications in consumer electronics and automotive sectors that necessitate durability, heat resistance, and electrical safety.
3D Systems has also introduced a new patent-pending module for its EXT Titan Pellet printers which enhances process efficiency by optimizing parts during post-processing. This includes real-time adjustment of the extrusion flow rate to reduce voids and improve solidity, effectively cutting machining time by up to 50%. Additionally, the module scans the print bed to ensure proper leveling, decreasing the time for this essential task by 60%.
This innovative module is expected to be standard in new printer systems and can also be added to existing ones, showcasing 3D Systems’ commitment to advancing manufacturing efficiency.
Moreover, the company has improved its QuickCast technology with the QuickCast Diamond build style, which can deliver high-precision investment casting at a fraction of the time and cost of conventional methods, thus enabling more complex designs without sacrificing quality or speed.
