Video: New FDM Printer Produces Parts With High Strength
The new generation of large format 3D printer for production maintains accuracy and reliability, adding important functions and certifications to optimize usage and installation process to save the user time. The Stratasys Fortus 900mc enables the optimization of work processes and easier monitoring of print jobs using an internal camera and GrabCAD print software. Since the system already has standard certifications, the effort and costs for qualifying the 3D printer for production are reduced. The proven core mechanics of the original Stratasys Fortus 900mc system remain unchanged in this updated system.
The Stratasys Fortus 900mc uses engineering thermoplastics, including the new FDM Nylon 6. Because of their strength, nylon polymers are among the most commonly used thermoplastics in traditional manufacturing. This engineering material is used in a number of applications that require high tensile strength: production engineers get a fast and reliable method for testing durable prototypes for fit, function and durability. Manufacturing engineers can use the Stratasys Fortus 900mc to produce customized production tools and tools from engineering thermoplastics that are robust and reproducible. Service providers can create robust end-use parts. (qui)
