January Special Focus Issue: Design for Additive
In this Special Focus Issue of Digital Engineering, learn about the latest advancements in design for additive manufacturing, including new software tools, additive in automotive, custom medical devices, and more.
The Fortus 450mc can produce layer resolutions from 0.005 in. to 0.013 in., and manufactures parts up to 15% faster than the previous generation. It has a digital touch screen that enables users to make adjustments to print jobs without stopping the printer. There is capacity for two model material and two support material canisters and a build envelope of 16 x 14 x 16 in.
The Fortus 380mc has even temperature distribution in the build chamber and a digital touch screen. It has a 14 x 12 x 12 in. build envelope and offers the same layer resolutions as the 450mc.
Available materials for the Fortus 450mc and 380mc include ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), ASA (acrylonitrile sytrene acrylate), PC, Nylon and ULTEM 9085.
In addition to launching two new 3D production systems, Stratasys has also unveiled a new material. ULTEM 1010 is the latest high-performance thermoplastic for FDM (fused deposition modeling), offering heat resistance, tensile strength and chemical resistant. It is compatible with the Fortus 900mc and ideal for aerospace, automotive, food processing and medical device applications.
“This new generation of 3D printers is aimed to improve the customers’ overall experience,” said Bill Schultz, senior director of FDM products for Stratasys. “Improved system navigation, system maintenance, and system performance builds upon the proven history of the Fortus family of products. Complex geometries now take less time to print with our new systems.”
