3D Systems, one of the largest 3D printing companies in the world announced that it will participate and feature its new Figure 4 additive production platform at the 30th annual Additive Manufacturing Users Group (AMUG) scheduled to take place in St. Louis, Missouri in the United States.
What is Figure 4?
Figure 4 is 3D Systems’ additive production platform and industry’s first scalable, fully-integrated factory solution for direct 3D production, which accelerates and simplifies the fabrication of plastic parts with high speed digital molding, while at the same time produces the same accuracy, reliability and repeatability offered by traditional injection molding.
Invented by 3D Systems’ Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, Chuck Hull, Figure 4 is a combination of production-grade materials and ultra-fast print technology, which enables 15 times throughput improvements when compared with competitive offerings and at 20% less cost than existing manufacturing processes.
In addition to featuring the Figure 4, 3D Systems, along with its customers will also share strategies and workflows for 3D printing solutions to make manufacturing more effective, responsive as well as cost effective.
