Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Figure 4 Standalone 3D Printer.
The Figure 4 Standalone Printer
parts from a broad range of materials. The Figure 4 Standalone Printer uses a digital-projection light source and a special
membrane-based resin tray that enables very high print speeds and new material chemistries that provide production-grade
. It is intended to be used as a three-dimensional output device to create (or
properties
to communicate design intent of) durable, end-use parts. Parts produced can be used in all phases of
design, from a concept build to functional testing and end-use parts. The Figure 4 Standalone Printer
uses all Figure 4 resins for a variety of applications.
These parts are generated in the rapid prototyping (RP) environment under the control of the printer
operators. The system must be run by technicians who are trained in proper usage of the printer and
resins. All design and process considerations are compatible with an RP environment. The three-
dimensional solid parts that are printed consist of different print materials that cure when exposed to
405 nm radiation. The operator pours print material, also called "resin," into
a proprietary digital projector that 3D Systems has developed, a radiation pattern is cast onto the
underside of the resin tray and through to the bottom of the resin. This radiation causes a phase
change in the resin that converts it into a solid polymer, adhering to the
has cured, the elevator moves the print platform up by one layer length and the radiation pattern for
the next layer is projected. This process repeats, layer by layer, until the build le is complete. The
print platform, along with the part, is removed from the printer and the part is cleaned and post-
cured to provide a nished part.
This manual provides users with an understanding of features, system requirements, and operating
procedures needed to create nished parts using the Figure 4 Standalone Printer.
