Stratasys has expanded its Fortus line with two high‑performance FDM materials that deliver superior strength, biocompatibility, and finish for demanding industrial applications. New Fortus FDM Materials 1. Ultem 1010 Ultem 1010 is the latest addition to Stratasys high‑performance plastic famil
In a recent initiative, we leveraged SOLIDWORKS to design and build a dedicated 3D printing hub within our Syracuse office. The result—a space now known as the CADimensions Fabrication Laboratory, affectionately dubbed the CAD Fab Lab—offers a cohesive blend of advanced hardware and a layout enginee
Since its launch in 2014, ASA (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate) has proven itself as a high‑strength, UV‑resistant alternative to ABS in Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM). In 2015, Stratasys broadened the ASA lineup, offering the material in Black and Ivory. Beyond its superior mechanical properties, A
Over the past few years, additive manufacturing has surged ahead, thanks to larger, faster printers and breakthroughs in materials science that open new application avenues. Yet, one routine step in Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) has lagged behind: the removal of soluble support material. In typic
FDM technology empowers you to 3D print parts in a wide array of proven plastics. On Stratasys’ Fortus 400mc, 450mc, and 900mc production systems, ULTEM 1010 and ULTEM 9085 are two of the most frequently chosen resins. Below is a side‑by‑side look at the key performance differences to help you pick
Meet the Stratasys H350™ – the industry’s first powder‑bed fusion printer that delivers production‑grade performance through proprietary Selective Absorption Fusion (SAF™) technology. Partnered with Xaar 3D, the H350 brings the speed, consistency, and scalability that the rapidly growing polymer seg
In December 2020, Stratasys completed its acquisition of UK‑based 3D‑printing pioneer Origin, setting the stage for a new generation of high‑performance additive manufacturing. The first machine to emerge from this partnership is the Stratasys Origin® One, a purpose‑built system engineered for pro
Stratasys’s launch of the F770 large‑scale 3D printer has made industrial‑grade printing more accessible than ever. In this review we examine how the F770 stacks up against the popular BigRep Large Format line. 1. Software Experience: GrabCAD Print vs. BigRep Blade GrabCAD Print, engineered
Why Opt for 3D Printing? 3D printing offers a cost‑effective pathway to validate designs before committing to expensive tooling. By producing a handful of prototypes, you can assess fit, form, and function in a fraction of the time and budget required for traditional manufacturing. Additionally, 3D
After Stratasys acquired Origin in December 2020, the company has re‑branded and released the Origin One, a DLP 3‑D printer that ships in Q4 2023. The system delivers high‑resolution parts, superior throughput, and an open‑material ecosystem that outperforms competitors such as EnvisionTEC and Carb
The Goal: To bring your design into a tangible product, showcase it globally, and generate profit. Every journey begins with a spark—an innovative twist on a familiar concept or a bold “first‑ever” idea. That spark fuels a passion to transform the concept into reality. Once you’ve pinpointed the ori
3D printing is reshaping medicine, and its impact is most evident in the growing use of anatomically accurate surgical models. In a landmark Israeli operation, these models were pivotal in separating craniopagus twins—children conjoined at the skull—who had a very low chance of survival. The Rari
3D printing is transforming manufacturing by delivering cost‑effective, rapid prototyping and production. Here are three pivotal ways this technology is reshaping the industry.3D Printing Explained3D printers convert a computer-aided design into a tangible object. The process starts with CAD softwar
Stratasys’ newest addition, the Origin One, is a vat‑based resin 3‑D printer now shipping worldwide. While the company’s Polyjet line has long excelled at detailed prototypes, the Origin One targets full‑scale production parts, marking a new chapter in Stratasys’ resin capabilities.Programmable Phot
Agile Manufacturing Explained Agile processes are designed to respond swiftly to evolving customer demands and complex production challenges. The core question is: what is agile manufacturing, and can it elevate your organization? In an industry that evolves at breakneck speed, manufacturers are
For emerging or expanding businesses, getting products to market faster is essential. Rapid manufacturing offers a versatile, cost‑effective way to accelerate production of custom and low‑volume parts. This guide explains the key rapid manufacturing methods, their benefits, and how to select the ri
PrintCity is a leading 3D additive and digital manufacturing hub located in Manchester, a city renowned for its industrial heritage. Situated within Manchester Metropolitan University, the facility serves as both an educational resource and a consulting partner for businesses across the UK and world
PrintParts, a 3D‑printing contract manufacturer founded in May 2016 by former injection‑molding specialist Robert Haleluk, has grown into one of New York City’s premier service bureaus by listening to its customers and scaling its operations accordingly. Working with dozens of engineering firms, Pri
Injection molding is a leading process for mass‑producing identical plastic parts with tight tolerances. The most significant fixed cost is the mold, which can range from as low as $100 for a 3D‑printed prototype mold to over $100,000 for a complex, multi‑cavity steel mold used in high‑volume produc
KUHMUTE uses SLS 3D printing to manufacture adapters that power micromobility charging stations. Transportation is an integral part of daily life—whether we ride public transit, drive, bike, or walk, we constantly weigh cost, speed, convenience, and environmental impact. As cities evolve, they deman
