Collection: Figure 4 Materials & Resins (DLP) | 3D Systems

The Figure 4 platform is built on a foundation of versatile materials that transform the high-speed DLP technology into a true production solution. The portfolio is specifically formulated to meet rigorous mechanical and thermal requirements, eliminating the need to compromise on speed or material properties.

Durable & Production-Grade Plastics
The core of the Figure 4 material portfolio consists of resins designed for strength, durability, and a smooth surface finish suitable for end-use parts. These materials are formulated to provide properties similar to traditional injection-molded plastics, making them ideal for bridging the gap between prototyping and full-scale manufacturing.

This category includes:

• Figure 4 PRO-BLK 10 (Production Plastic): An exceptional all-purpose material offering long-term environmental stability, making it a reliable choice for robust, end-use parts, snap-fits, and durable components.
• Figure 4 Tough Resins (e.g., Tough 60C, Tough 65C): These materials offer high impact resistance and moderate heat deflection, perfect for functional prototypes, jigs, fixtures, and components that require a balance of rigidity and resilience against shock and stress.
• Figure 4 Rigid Resins: When high stiffness and minimal deflection are critical, the Rigid series provides a dimensionally stable, hard plastic for detailed prototyping, enclosures, and tooling applications.

High-Temperature Resins

• For applications that demand thermal resistance, the Figure 4 High-Temperature materials ensure parts maintain their mechanical integrity even when exposed to extreme heat. This category is essential for manufacturing aids and components subjected to heat-intensive processes.
• Figure 4 Hi-Temp 300-AMB: This is one of the highest heat-deflection temperature (HDT) resins available for stereolithography and DLP, exceeding 300°C. It is the premier choice for manufacturing tooling, molds, fluid-flow components, and other parts that must survive high thermal cycling or exposure to autoclaves.

The Figure 4 system excels at producing highly flexible and elastomeric parts, opening up applications typically reserved for other technologies. These resins are critical for seals, gaskets, and components that require rebound and flexibility under stress.

• Figure 4 FLEX-BLK 20 & RUBBER-65A BLK: Designed to mimic rubber-like properties, these materials offer excellent elongation and recovery. They are suitable for rapid prototyping of soft-touch components, seals, grommets, vibration dampening elements, and overmolding applications. The FLEX-BLK 20 offers a higher durometer for stiffer flexible parts, while RUBBER-65A BLK provides a softer, more compliant feel.
  

Specialty & Advanced Resins
Beyond the standard mechanical properties, the Figure 4 portfolio includes specialized resins engineered to meet specific industry certifications and functional requirements, enabling compliance and unique visual properties.

• Figure 4 Tough FR V0 Black (Fire Retardant): This advanced resin is engineered to meet the UL94 V0 flammability standard, making it indispensable for parts used in electronics, aircraft, and transportation where self-extinguishing properties are mandated for safety compliance.
• Figure 4 Tough Clear: A durable, translucent material excellent for fluid-flow visualization, light pipes, lenses, and parts where clarity is a key design requirement, all while maintaining good mechanical strength.
• Figure 4 EGGSHELL-AMB 10: A unique material often used as a sacrificial shell or support material, designed to be easily removed after printing, leaving behind highly accurate, smooth final parts.
