Combines SLA Precision with Thermoplastics Performance Greater Productivity and Detail Fidelity Superior to Other Durable Materials
ROCK HILL, South Carolina –April 9, 2013 – 3D Systems (NYSE:DDD) announced today the immediate availability of Accura® Xtreme™ White-200 plastic for use in 3D Systems’ iPro SLA® printers , advanced manufacturing’s “gold standard” for part performance and accuracy. This next generation SLA material extends 3D Systems’ unmatched solutions for direct manufacture of end use parts further. Accura Xtreme White-200 is also available through 3D Systems’ Quickparts service.
As the toughest and most durable SLA material available today, Accura Xtreme White-200 offers high elongation at break, high impact strength and the stiffness and durability of ABS plastic, making it the top choice for functional assemblies that must stand up to the harshest, most demanding environments.
