PRODUCTION RIGID

Production-grade additive manufacturing material with game-changing thermoplastic-like mechanical properties and long-term environmental stability.

Versatile Rigid Heat-Resistant Material Combines Speed, Strength, Excellent Mechanical Properties for Tool-Less, Direct Production of Plastic Parts

Figure 4 PRO-BLK 10 delivers on the promise of additive manufacturing with true direct digital production of plastic parts. Go from CAD to manufacturing line in one day with tool-less, same day part production. With a fast print speed and simplified post-processing that includes a single curing cycle and single solvent cleaning, this material delivers exceptional throughput. It is a high precision resin producing parts with a smooth surface finish and sidewall quality, and has excellent mechanical properties and long-term environmental stability that brings a new level of assurance to 3D production.

Applications

• Tool-less, same day production
• Direct production of small black plastic parts; examples include: motor housings, connectors, snap-fits, automotive interior and other general-use parts
• Digital production to replace injection molding or soft tooling processes

Benefits

• Improved environmental stability of mechanical and performance properties over time
• Fast throughput for part-in-hand with no secondary thermal cure required
• Simple, single solvent cleaning
• Excellent surface quality and repeatability
• Accurate, low distortion material for fast first article print success

Features

• Fast print speed up to 62 mm/hr at 50 micron layer thickness
• 70 °C heat deflection temperature, 12% elongation at break

• Biocompatible capable per ISO10993-5 and ISO10993-10
• Exhibits thermoplastic behavior in necking at tensile break point

Key Material Properties

The full suite of mechanical properties are given per ASTM and ISO standards where applicable. All parts are conditioned per ASTM recommended standards for a minimum of 40 hours at 23 °C, 50% RH. Material properties include physical and mechanical properties, as well as thermal, UL flammability, and electrical (dielectric strength, dielectric constant, dissipation factor, and volume resistivity).

Key Mechanical Properties

• Fast print speed up to 62 mm/hr at 50 micron layer thickness
• 70 °C heat deflection temperature, 12% elongation at break
• UL94 HB flammability
• Biocompatible capable per ISO10993-5 and ISO10993-10
• Exhibits thermoplastic behavior in necking at tensile break point
• Long-term indoor and outdoor environmental stability

Isotropic properties

Figure 4 technology prints parts that are isotropic in mechanical properties meaning the parts printed along either the XYZ axis will give similar results. Parts do not need to be oriented to get the highest mechanical properties, further improving the degree of freedom for part orientation for mechanical properties.

Long term environmental stability

Figure 4 PRO-BLK 10 is engineered to give long term environmental UV and humidity stability. This means the material is tested for the ability to retain a high percent of the initial mechanical properties over a given period of time. This provides real design conditions to consider for the application or part. 

The charts show a sampling of the dataset. The full datasheet includes Indoor and Outdoor Stability data for Tensile Strength, Elongation at Break, Tensile Modulus and Impact Strength. Actual data value is on Y-axis, and data points are % of initial value.

Indoor Stability

Tested per ASTM D4329 standard method.

Outdoor Stability

Tested per ASTM G154 standard method.

Chemical and automotive fluid compatibility

The compatibility of a material with hydrocarbons and cleaning chemicals is critical to part application. Figure 4 PRO-BLK 10 parts were tested for sealed and surface contact compatibility per ASTM D543 test conditions and per USCAR2 test conditions.  Tensile Strength (MPa) is shown below. The full datasheet includes additional data tables for Tensile Modulus, Elongation at Break and Notched Impact Strength.
