Figure 4® Rigid 140C Black is a high performance material, delivering production-grade parts with long-term mechanical stability in various environments. Suitable for housings, casings, and all types of prototyping or production components. Ideal for automotive under-the-hood and internal cabin end-use clips, covers, connectors, housings & fasteners, electrical latching, and board connectors.
Material Tips
-
Material is a two-part epoxy/acrylate hybrid with an A&B part that must be mixed at 19:1 ratio
-
Mix new amount for each print unless in the SAME day
-
Material Amount = Part Est+100g+(Est*15%)
-
May need to add 20% rather than 15% pending the density of print or part
3D Sprint Tips
-
General Best Practices apply
-
Default layer thickness for accuracy is at 30um layer thickness.
-
Orient small holes (0.5-1mm) parallel to the plate when possible.
-
For best results space parts at a minimum of 10mm apart.
3D Sprint Supports
General Round Tip - DEFAULT
Best for Standard Thick build style, when reliability is a must such as tensile bars, and accuracy blocks
Post-Processing Tips
-
General Best Practices apply
-
Manual clean ONLY, do not use sonication
-
Wear wet gloves when handling parts to prevent smudges
-
Due to the lack of sonication, a soft bristled brush and/or IPA squirt bottle may be required to clear small crevices of uncured resin.
-
Note Thermal post cure at 3min ramp rate to 130C and 3-hour steady cure
-
Allow parts to cool to room temperature before handling
-
Rinse with water - If TPM is not rinsed with water, the part may get blue/white marks on the sidewalls.
-
IPA Clean - To prevent degrading the elongation-at-break properties, do NOT exceed recommended time in IPA (1-2 minutes).
-
Thermal post cure requires a three-hour hold at 130°C to fully cure the parts. Do not exceed three hours for post curing.
