Design verification prototype of medical device tubing 3D printed in PolyJet Agilus30 material. Stratasys just launched two new materials for 3D printing and rapid prototyping customers. Agilus30 is a flexible PolyJet material family (available in black and translucent colors), providing enhanced tear resistance and superior rubber-like quality. It’s ideal for product design verification and even some functional performance tests. At the other end of the prototyping spectrum, there is the new FDM Nylon [...]
We recently acquired the next generation Stratasys Fortus 900mc, a robust FDM production 3D printer built for functional prototyping, manufacturing aids, tooling and short-run direct digital manufacturing. This addition has expanded our 3D printing services department by increasing our capacity to print large scale parts and larger volume projects. This means you now have the option to print parts in the newly released Nylon 6 engineering-grade thermoplastic. FDM Nylon 6 offers the best combination [...]

This article will discuss two examples of 3D printing for custom automobile components. The automobile industry is the epitome of diversity in consumer products. There is such a wide variety of cars and models to choose from based on attributes like; performance, functionality, efficiency, and level of luxury. Most consumers develop strong connections to their car and brand, and they'll typically choose a car they feel is an expression of their identity. But as with [...]
In our first installment of this post, we explained why firms looking to stay ahead of their competition must focus, more than ever before, on compressing their product development cycles. Firms today are under greater pressure from two directions – both from the increasing demands of consumers for product variety and by the accompanying trend toward shorter product lifetimes. Compounding this challenge is that between 70% and 90%* of total project costs are determined during [...]
