Stratasys complements the product range with two new 3D printers ready for printing in carbon fiber reinforced materials. These printers thus extend the scope of additive manufacturing on the factory floor.
Stratasys takes additive manufacturing to a new level and launches two carbon fiber 3D printers, the F190CR and F370CR. Both printers are compatible with carbon fiber reinforced materials such as ABS-CF10 and Nylon-CF10, as well as up to six high-performance types of thermoplastic. These materials create a wider range of applications for demanding manufacturing applications.
F190CR and F370CR are an excellent choice for companies and industry that lack the ability to reliably create production tools, clamping tools, fixtures and prototypes with composite materials and other materials, in industrial quality. The new 3D printers deliver strong, rigid and chemically resistant items.
Applications:
- Clamping tools and fixtures
- Robot grippers
- Production tools
- Functional prototypes
- Production items in low numbers
Beats nearest competitors
The printing method in the new product series consists of the proven FDM technology from Stratasys. Studies have shown a 100% reliability in the F123CR series, which beats the nearest competitor by 21%.
Compared to competing products, Stratasys' new 3D printers offer a wider range of materials, a larger build volume, better support materials and lower material costs.
With a larger, fully heated building chamber in both the F190CR and F370CR printers, larger items can be printed at full density for the highest strength than is possible in competitors' 3D printers.
60% stronger nylon material
Stratasys has also launched the FDM Nylon-CF10, a new composite material for the F123CR series 3D printers. The material is over 60% stronger and almost three times as stiff as the base nylon material. The carbon fiber material is just one of many materials available on F123CR series printers. With Stratasys support materials, users have the ability to print any geometry without any restrictions.
