Mark your calendar for May 3rd at 11:00 am. We will be presenting a short 30-minute webinar that will explain how to leverage color with 3D printing. In this webinar, we will provide an overview of the current capabilities of color 3D printing and we'll cover a brief history of color in additive design. We will also discuss the pros and cons of various color processes. You'll learn how color and textures can enhance the [...]
Designers at Hong Kong-based toy manufacturer Toy State International found a way to utilize 3D printing in ways that were beneficial and supportive to their business needs. The recently begun to use the Stratasys F370 3D Printer to create drone prototypes. Prior to using an FDM 3D printer, Toy State would outsource their functional prototyping projects, leading to a much lengthier time-to-market for products developed by the company. But with the F370 incorporated into the [...]
Now you can bring your ideas to life faster for less with this major breakthrough in MakerBot Print. Introducing MakerBot MinFill, a dynamic new Print Mode that is the first of its kind in 3D printing. Short for “Minimum Infill,” MinFill uses an intelligent algorithm to determine the absolute minimum amount of support needed for the inside of any 3D print. Not all prints need to be durable, dense, or heavy. When surface quality and [...]
Stratasys has been continually evolving and improving its range of PolyJet 3D printing materials for over 13 years. Today, PolyJet materials cover the widest scope of Rapid Prototyping and Design Verification requirements. No other technology is able to achieve the true product and final part realism that PolyJet technology today enables. The video below illustrates the progression of the 3D printed materials. For more information on our Stratasys line of 3D printers, please click the [...]
The AccuSmooth post-processing solution can produce a smooth, polished ¬finish on your 3D printed parts. Through the process, parts are dipped into a vapor tank containing a liquid that is brought to boiling point. The vapor rises and melts away the part surface, eliminating all layer lines. It only takes a few seconds and you’re left with a sharp ¬finished look similar to that of traditional molding technologies. AccuSmooth Benefits include: Easy setup and simple [...]
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 [...]
As is well known, the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) is the technology conference and generation systems country 's most important medical images. In the 2015 edition, which coincided with the centenary of society, special attention was given to the cutting-edge technologies and tools that help radiologists, including Stratasys 3D printing. One of the applications in the field of medicine that has continued to spark considerable interest in this year's [...]
