digital manufacturing solutions and talk with the company's experts
in booth 1227. In addition to the latest Figure 4®
configuration, as well as new Figure 4 and selective laser
sintering (SLS) material offerings for production solutions, 3D
Systems will showcase its unique metal solutions that help
manufacturers scale factory productivity. Attendees can also
explore the company's powerful software portfolio that enables
seamless 3D digital workflow integration. In addition, there will

New Production-grade Nylon Material for Expanded
Applications
3D Systems is announcing DuraForm®
ProX EX NAT (planned availability June
2019). This new material joins the company's portfolio of
production-grade nylons for its SLS 3D printers. DuraForm
ProX EX NAT is a tough, impact-resistant natural colored PA 11
nylon material that handles the rigors of repeated cycling and use,
even in harsh environments. It enables consistent production of
natural white color parts that can replace injection molded ABS and
polypropylene. Its durability makes it especially suitable for
applications like snap fits and living hinges requiring hundreds of
open-close cycles, as well as testing in real-life scenarios like
crash tests or other stress simulations.
