FIGURE 4® PRO-BLK 10

OVERVIEW

With Real Direct Digital Fabrication Of Plastic Components, Figure 4® PRO-BLK 10 Delivers On The Promise Of Additive Manufacturing. With Tool-Less, Same-Day Component Production, You Can Go From CAD To Manufacturing Line In One Day. This Material Provides High Throughput Due To Its Quick Print Speed And Simple Post-Processing, Which Comprises A Single Curing Cycle And Single Solvent Cleaning. It Is A High-Precision Resin That Produces Items With A Smooth Surface Finish And Good Sidewall Quality. It Also Has Great Mechanical Qualities And Long-Term Environmental Stability, Which Adds A New Level Of Certainty To 3D Printing.

APPLICATIONS

• Same-day manufacturing without the use of tools
  
• Direct manufacture of tiny black plastic components, such as motor housings, connections, snap-fits, car interiors, and other general-purpose components.
  
• Digital manufacturing can take the role of injection molding or soft tooling
  

BENEFITS

• Mechanical and performance attributes are more resistant to environmental degradation over time.
• Rapid throughput for part-in-hand applications without the need for an additional thermal cure
• Simple cleaning using a single solvent
• Superior surface quality and reproducibility
• Accurate, low-distortion content for rapid publication success in the first article

FEATURES

• Rapid print speed of up to 62 mm/hr at a layer thickness of 50 microns
• Heat deflection temperature of 70 °C, elongation at break of 12%
• Longevity and strength
• Flammability class UL94 HB
• ISO10993-5 and ISO10993-10 certified as biocompatible
• At the tensile break point, exhibits thermoplastic behavior in necking.

MATERIAL PROPERTIES

Where relevant, the complete set of mechanical characteristics is provided in accordance with ASTM and ISO standards. All components are conditioned for a minimum of 40 hours at 23 °C and 50% relative humidity in accordance with ASTM recommendations. Physical and mechanical qualities, as well as thermal, UL flammability, and electrical properties, are all included in material properties (dielectric strength, dielectric constant, dissipation factor, and volume resistivity).

ISOTROPIC PROPERTIES

Figure 4 technology creates isotropic components, which means that items printed along either the XYZ or Z axis will have equivalent mechanical qualities. Because parts do not need to be orientated to provide the best mechanical characteristics, the degree of freedom for part orientation for mechanical qualities is increased.
