16-Nov-05

Accura 25 SL plastic, a new opaque, white, advanced engineered material that simulates the look and feel of molded polypropylene has been introduced to the market, for use on all solid-state-equipped SLA systems, automotive and electronics applications. Accura 25 plastic has dual advantages as it provides the look and feel of molded polypropylene and delivers excellent accuracy, speed and shape-memory, making it suitable for functional prototypes as well as master patterns. With performance characteristics similar to molded polypropylene, Accura 25 plastic can replace and displace dependence on CNC-machined parts. 3D Systems Corporation, a provider of rapid 3-D printing, prototyping and manufacturing solutions has introduced Accura 25 SL offering durability and flexibility. In the automotive industry, Accura 25 plastic is ideal for prototyping and design of trim components and fascia. In the electronics and consumer goods industry, Accura 25 plastic is a perfect match for the design and test of connectors, wiring harnesses and enclosures. The superior speed, accuracy and detailed feature resolution of Accura 25 plastic makes it optimal as a material that can be used for functional prototypes or master patterns. The high production speed results in more economically priced parts.
