For the past 15 years, 4D Systems has been regarded as one of the top providers of state-of-the-art intelligent display and graphics processors. Much of this comes from our flexibility to jump on new and intriguing projects, whether it’s for a multinational, an engineering firm or even a hobbyist.
So why do our customers continue to choose 4D over our competitors? Here are some reasons why we’re the ideal partner for your next project.
We are always on the cusp of the most innovative technologies
We are never content to rest on our laurels, and we are constantly searching for projects where we can apply our technical knowledge across new industries.
Recent 4D Systems projects span a diversity of sectors, from healthcare to sports racing, solar power. More recently, we partnered with CEiiA to support their creation of The Atena – an Invasive Medical Ventilator to fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
Prior to that, our gen4-4DCAPE-50CT-SB LCD display unit was used in a ready-to-drive, single-seat formula vehicle for the international Formula Student design project, and our hardware and software even contributed to the Técnico Solar Boat, a fully solar-powered racing vessel.
On the hobbyist front we even turbocharged model-making project to build a scale model of the EVA Pod from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
We’re different from other technology providers
What we are perhaps best known for among our customers is our ability to tailor-make solutions to match a project’s needs – however technical or particular they may be. Customers come to us with a problem and we design a solution.
We are also committed to innovation, and our reputation as a leading provider with world-class manufacturing facilities speaks for itself. But none of this would matter if we weren’t able to turn around products efficiently. Our speed from ideation to development to production is second-to-none, and it sets us apart from the competition.
Finally, we are a lifetime partner, committed to providing support and technical solutions beyond our initial interactions. We’re redefining what customers expect from a technology provider – as one of our happy clients told us: “The relationship didn’t end once we had the hardware – that meant a lot.”

We create market-leading products
In addition to engaging with a variety of clients to build custom display solutions, you can also purchase a wide selection of enterprise-grade hardware, software, accessories and end-of-life products.
Our range includes intelligent (gen4-HMI, uLCD, uOLED, etc.) and primary (Raspberry Pi, Beaglebone) display modules, building-automation displays for both corporate and residential property, camera and audio hardware, and much more. Best of all, we cater to all budgets.
If you don’t find the product you’re looking for, simply reach out to the 4D team and we will custom-build the technology you need.
We provide top-class technical support
At 4D Systems, we take pride in our deep technical knowledge to provide ongoing support to clients. In addition to offering an accessible Codebase to help inspire your latest projects, you can read regularly updated App Notes, interact with staff on our 4D Systems Forum, and find answers to all your questions through our dedicated Helpdesk.
We value each and every project and can provide the support you need over its entire lifecycle.

Latest Case Studies
This case study unveils a practical application of embedded innovation, highlighting the process and outcomes of upgrading legacy systems in a technology-focused product line. Through strategic technological integration, the project not only uplifted product performance but also markedly improved customer satisfaction levels. The subsequent pages delve into various strategic and operational enhancements made, providing readers with a nuanced understanding of the concrete impacts and subtleties involved in a real-world, engineer-led embedded innovation initiative. A testament to blending traditional systems with modern innovation.
Duratec, specializing in liquid handling devices for various industries, aimed to simplify the control interfaces of their new product line. Partnering with 4D Systems, they integrated a touch display module enhancing user-centricity and operational efficiency. This transition replaced outdated control panels with an intuitive, modern interface without compromising on control capabilities via the RS232 interface. Three new devices were launched, improving user interactions through user-friendly touch displays, showcasing Duratec's commitment to innovation. This collaboration allowed for more straightforward control, monitoring, and interaction with Duratec's devices, ensuring a better user experience and meeting industry demands.
In the challenging process of creating an advanced 3D printer, BCN3D encountered an unexpected difficulty: finding an appropriate, user-friendly display module. Despite initial struggles, BCN3D discovered the solution in 4D Systems’ gen4 display modules. These modules offered superior resolution, processing power, and flexibility. Key to BCN3D's decision was the modules' easy integration via a serial connection and the Arduino-compatible library into their firmware. For its Sigma R17 3D printer, BCN3D upgraded to the gen4-ULCD-35DCT-CLB, a 3.5-inch Intelligent TFT-LCD display module with capacitive touch, further enhancing the user experience. The gen4 series of intelligent display modules perfectly matched BCN3D's requirements, offering innovative solutions in the sophisticated 3D printing space.
