3D SYSTEMS INTRODUCES ACCURA 55 PLASTIC FOR ITS SLA SYSTEMS

3D Systems Corporation introduces the tough and versatile Accura 55 Plastic, a new Stereolithography Material that simulates the look and feel of molded ABS.

Accura 55 Plastic produces white ABSlike parts without molding or machining, and is ideal for Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing of short-run production parts, electronic components, functional testing, concept and marketing models, and master patterns for urethane casting.

Joseph Cihlar, Rapid Prototyping team lead at the medical device company said, "The speed of Accura 55 Plastic has allowed us to produce more models in a shorter time. This greatly increases the number of designs we can test and improves our time to market. In addition, our engineers are amazed that they cannot distinguish the Accura 55 prototypes from machined ABS and acetal articles."

Accura 55 Plastic produces tough, smooth, three-dimensional parts within tolerance and faithful to CAD data. With low viscosity, this material is easy to use and exhibits faster build speed, increased system throughput, and minimized postprocessing and finishing labor.
