Introducing two new 3D printers and a new high grade thermo-plastic - 10 Dec 2014

New Fortus Systems Combined with New Material delivers more options

Leveraging the success of its FDM-based Fortus 3D Production Systems, Stratasys are launching two NEW Fortus 3D Production Printer Systems: the Fortus 450mc and the Fortus 380mc.

Designed for speed and ease of use, the systems have a new touch-screen interface that achieves up to 20% quicker build times for complex geometries and allows users to make adjustments to their print jobs without disrupting operations. The Fortus 380mc is designed for high-performance prototyping and production tooling in a variety of standard and engineering thermoplastics.

Featuring a larger build envelope than the 380mc, the Fortus 450mc employs the most advanced FDM thermoplastics and is ideal for mid-sized functional prototypes, production aids and end-use parts in specialized materials.

ULTEM 1010

Another significant advancement that expands manufacturing opportunities is the ULTEM 1010 resin,a new high-performance thermoplastic. ULTEM 1010 combines superior heat resistance, tensile strength and temperature resistance and can be sterilized using steam autoclaving for medical applications. It is also bio-compatible and has the only food-contact certification of any FDM thermoplastic.

These properties make the ULTEM 1010 & the Fortus 450MC the best choice for aerospace, automotive, food production tooling, medical devices, and other applications.
