ROCK HILL, S.C. — 3D Systems Corporation (Nasdaq:TDSC)  introduces DuraForm(r) FR 100 Plastic, a new flame-retardant sintering material that meets the requirements of a broad range of aircraft and consumer-product applications. Customers can purchase parts made from this new material through 3D Systems’ Pro Parts Marketplace starting in August of this year.

Unlike other available flame-retardant sintering materials, DuraForm(r) FR 100 Plastic passes the flame, smoke and toxicity tests for aircraft applications and has a UL 94 V-0 rating, which is required for many consumer product applications. In addition, this new plastic is non-halogenated and antimony free and complies with many government directives for human health and safety. Anticipated applications for DuraForm(r) FR 100 Plastic include direct manufacturing of aircraft parts, including interior parts such as cockpit and cabin components, and direct manufacturing of parts for consumer products, including lighting, electronics, and appliances.
