This new generation of the proven large format Stratasys Fortus
900mc Production 3D Printer maintains the industry’s leading
accuracy and reliability. With additional key features and
certifications, the 3D printer allows for improved use along with a
rapid installation process that saves time for the users. The
Stratasys Fortus 900mc uses engineering-grade thermoplastics,
including the newly released FDM Nylon 6.
The Stratasys Fortus 900mc offers a streamlined workflow and
easier job-monitoring with an internal camera and GrabCAD Print
Software. Standard certifications are included, eliminating the
effort and cost to qualify the 3D printer for the user’s production
floor.
The proven core mechanics of the original Stratasys Fortus 900mc
system remain unchanged in this upgraded system with a strong
line-up of enhanced features to improve the overall user
experience.
Capabilities include:
- The ability to create
stronger-than-before and reliable manufacturing tools or durable
functional prototypes with the newest Stratasys thermoplastic, FDM
Nylon 6 (Polyamide 6 / PA6) which offers a strength and toughness
superior to other FDM thermoplastics.
- In order to increase efficiency and
enable the user to have tighter control of the printing process,
GrabCAD Print includes remote monitoring, job scheduling and
reports. The system also includes an internal camera, improving job
monitoring which can be done remotely to mitigate risk.
- The system’s user will use GrabCAD
Print’s streamlined, more efficient workflow that eliminates the
need for STL file conversion by supporting the upload of CAD files
directly to the 3D printer for production.
- Standard certification from an NRTL
(nationally recognized test lab), previously an option requiring
onsite evaluation, means that a company can save money, time and
considerable effort to qualify its 3D printers to run on a
production floor.
- Ready for Stratasys Xtend 500
extended-length material boxes. Xtend 500 boxes save time by
allowing longer runs without interruption and minimizing changeover
time.
- In a bid to accelerate speed and system
efficiency, the previously introduced, optional Acceleration Kit
allows material to extrude rapidly, thereby printing large parts
faster.
- In addition to Nylon 6, the Stratasys
Fortus 900mc runs ABS-M30, ABS-M30i, ABS-ESD7, ASA, FDM Nylon 12,
PC, PC-ABS, PC-ISO, ST130, PPSF, ULTEM™ 9085 and ULTEM™ 1010. The
3D printer is also compatible with Stratasys SR30, the new SR35,
SR100 and SR110 support materials.
Stratasys FDM Nylon 6 Now Available for Fortus 900mc
Production 3D Printer
Publicly announced in September, FDM Nylon 6 is now available
for the Stratasys Fortus 900mc Production 3D Printer. Manufacturers
using additive production processes value high-strength 3D printed
parts. Because of its strength, the Nylon family of polymers is one
of the most-widely used thermoplastics in traditional
manufacturing. This engineering-grade material is used in a range
of applications requiring high tensile strength. Stratasys FDM
Nylon 6 offers the best combination of strength and toughness among
current Stratasys FDM materials. It enables creation of functional
prototypes, manufacturing tools and production parts with high
impact strength.
The use of Stratasys Nylon 6 on the next generation Stratasys
Fortus 900mc is expected to be of interest to three main
groups:
1. Product Engineers who need a quick, reliable method to
test durable prototypes for fit, function and durability. The
Stratasys Fortus 900mc Production 3D Printer offers higher
productivity, streamlined workflow and easier job monitoring to
meet production demands for large prototyping shops or on the
manufacturing floor.
2. Manufacturing Engineers that need to optimize their
manufacturing throughput to create efficient and cost-effective
solutions. With the Stratasys Fortus 900mc these users can produce
on-demand, customized parts in engineering-grade thermoplastics
that are robust and repeatable for applications such as
manufacturing aids and tooling.
3. Service Bureaus that need a flexible 3D printer that
can work in multiple engineering-grade materials to produce robust
and often larger parts for their customers’ needs, from concept
testing to production floor-ready manufacturing aids, tooling and
some end use parts.
Notes: There is no upgrade path from the original Stratasys
Fortus 900mc to the next generation Stratasys Fortus 900mc.
Stratasys FDM Nylon 6 will run on both the next generation and the
original Fortus 900mc. Upgrading an original Stratasys Fortus 900mc
Production 3D Printer to run Stratasys Nylon 6 requires only a
software license and does not require a service visit.
Stratasys Announces GrabCAD Print is Available
Globally
Stratasys announced today the global availability of GrabCAD
Print, which now offers wide-ranging compatibility with the
company's FDM 3D Printers. The general release follows a
five-month beta trial period and represents an important milestone
in Stratasys’ execution of its 3D printing software strategy
announced in May. The company’s goal is to drive 3D printing in the
digital manufacturing era and towards Industry 4.0.
A cloud-based application, GrabCAD Print reads CAD files
natively and eliminates or minimizes the need to export to STL,
significantly streamlining the design-to-3D-print workflow. GrabCAD
Print network connectivity enables job preparation, scheduling and
monitoring of an increasing portfolio of Stratasys printers from
anywhere. In addition, built-in collaboration and business
intelligence provide users the ability to track application and
printer data. Advanced material usage and printer utilization
management assist with planning and capital purchases, while
scaling and orientation support offer more effective tray
utilization and layout.
Market-leading Stratasys customers, including Joe Gibbs Racing
and 4Moms, which participated in the beta program gave feedback,
and the feedback of other customers in the program drove the
addition of more than 40 software enhancements prior to today’s
product release. GrabCAD Print is currently available in nine
languages.
These Stratasys solutions will be showcased at formnext - Hall
3.1 Stand H40. Visitors will also be treated to a unique virtual 3D
printing experience that marks the European premiere of the
Stratasys Infinite-Build and Robotic Composite 3D Demonstrators. In
cooperation with the involvement of Boeing, Ford and Siemens, the
3D Demonstrators are designed to break barriers in part performance
and production efficiency; the Virtual Reality Experience enables
visitors to explore these technologies in a unique interactive
environment and examine real parts produced by both systems at the
Innovation Corner in the Stratasys booth.
