The V-Flash Desktop 3D Printer ships from IMSI/Design with everything you need to start producing high quality 3D models including the award-winning TurboCAD Pro software, a material cartridge, a case of 20 build pads, and the V-Flash Part Finishing System to wash and set your parts.
V-Flash Material
V-Flash FTI-GN Material is used in the V-Flash Desktop 3D Printer to produce hard plastic parts with smooth surfaces, exceptional fine-feature detail, durable and balanced physical properties in the x/y/z directions, and true-to-design part quality. V-Flash parts are rugged and tough enough for functional testing and end use parts, and can be sanded, drilled, machined, painted and metal-plated.
- Density ~ 1.11 g/cm3
- Tensile Strength 33 MPa
- Tensile Modulus 1550 MPa
- Elongation 5.0 %
- Flexural Strength 53 MPa
- Flexural Modulus 1700 MPa
V-Flash Finishing System
Once your part is produce by the V-Flash Desktop 3D Printer, the V-Flash Finishing System removes any residual build material, and then baths the part in bright UV light, taking it to its final cured state with a consistent cream surface color, true-to design detail, and a smooth hard surface finish. The V-Flash Finishing System includes the V-Flash® Parts Washer, Clean-A-Part Solvent, and the V-Flash® Curing Unit.
V-Flash Part Washer
- Effectively and safely cleans and rinses V-Flash parts in minutes with minimal effort
- Uses specially formulated long-lasting Clean-A-Part solution from 3D Systems
