What is Figure 4?
Figure 4 is a 3D-printing technology which is ideal for functional prototyping and very low volume production. It delivers an ultra-high print speed along with quality and accuracy meaning we can print your prototypes quickly while maintaining quality and accuracy.
Specification
The technology is most suited to small prototype parts:
| Feature | Specification |
| Build Area | 124.8 x 70.2 x 196 mm |
| XY Pixel Pitch (Resolution) | 65 microns |
| Layer Thickness | 10 – 100 microns (material dependent) |
| Light Wavelength | 405 nm |
When to use Figure 4 technology
It is ideal for:
- Functional prototyping and concept models
- Investment casting jewellery patterns
- End-use durable plastic parts
- Jigs and fixtures
- Moulds and master patterns
Figure 4 texturing
Figure 4 delivers high quality surface quality at 65 microns. It is possible to texture the surface of these parts in much the same way as the surface of SLS and SLA parts can be textured. This makes it a very versatile solution.

Other materials
In addition to the materials we stock, the following are available upon request. Please note: because these materials would need to be ordered in, we cannot offer our Express or Standard delivery service. Instead, parts will be dispatched using our Economy (in 5 days) or Super-Economy (in 10 days) service.
