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 build 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.

Fortus 450mc from Stratasys has been named one of the best industrial 3D printers on the market when it comes to carbon fiber printing. Industrial 3D printing with carbon fiber makes it easy to produce strong clamping tools, fixtures and items for production.

all3dp.com is a world-leading magazine in 3D printers and 3D printing. Each year, all3dp.com selects a variety of 3D printers that best suit specific applications.

This year, all3dp.com has named the Fortus 450mc one of the best industrial 3D printers on the market, for carbon fiber printing. Industrial carbon fiber 3D printers make it easy to produce powerful clamping tools, fixtures and finished products.

3D printing with carbon fiber replaces metal and steel

3D printing with carbon fiber gives parts the strength from metal and the weight from plastic. Carbon fiber also has high resistance to heat, chemicals and corrosion. Carbon fiber materials make bicycle frames lighter, propeller blades stronger and industrial tools more durable.

Although carbon fiber has been widely used in manufacturing since the 1960s, it is relatively new to many in the field of 3D printing. Carbon fiber mixed with other base materials of high-performance plastic types, improves the material's properties and expands the application possibilities. Today, 3D-printed carbon fiber parts replace metal parts in functional prototypes in the aerospace and automotive industries. Other products and tools that were previously made of steel are now produced in carbon fiber instead.

Fortus 450 - a market-leading 3D printer

Fortus 450mc delivers accurate prints with great repeatability - every time. High reliability allows the user to build sustainable supply chains , speed up delivery times and reduce production costs. The FDM Nylon 12CF material has a high carbon fiber content (35% by weight), strong adhesion in Z and a high degree of filling for the best strength. The material is suitable for advanced applications in industrial production, where designers and engineers print functional prototypes, end products and tools.

In addition, the Fortus 450mc supports 13 other materials, making it a versatile 3D printer.

Stratasys has launched a new unique support material for two of their PolyJet 3D printers. The support material dissolves easily in clean tap water, which significantly reduces the finishing time.

Stratasys has launched a new revolutionary support material for Stratasys J35 Pro , and Stratasys J55 Prime . The WSS150 dissolves in tap water or a dishwasher, without the use of chemicals. The material is particularly useful where manual cleaning can cause fragile parts to break.

➤ First water-soluble support material for PolyJet
➤ Super simple, no manual work required
➤ Avoid damaging items with delicate details
➤ Save investment of expensive finishing equipment

Provides greater design freedom

With the WSS150, designers and designers get greater design freedom when it comes to detailed and complex details, without having to worry about how to remove the support material. WSS150 is also suitable for the production of larger volumes as several items can be cleaned at the same time, as opposed to having to finish items individually.

Dissolve in tap water or a regular dishwasher

To remove the support material, items can simply be placed in tap water, alternatively they can be placed in a conventional or professional dishwasher for shorter dissolution time. With the WSS150, users of the J35 and J55 can now easily complement 3D printing in their work processes, without the need for expensive or cumbersome finishing systems.
