May 2, 2018, Shanghai - Stratasys (NASDAQ: SSYS), the world leader in applied additive technology solutions, recently demonstrated a series of advanced solutions at the Rapid + TCT 2018: 3D printing and additive manufacturing exhibition in the United States. And software technologies, including the enhanced version of the Stratasys J750 3D printer and the new Stratasys J735 3D printer, new Jigs and Fixtures for GrabCAD Print software, and the new F900 production-grade 3D printer, further expand the application limit of 3D printing prototypes and reduce manufacturing tooling Fixture parts time and cost, and increase the use of additive manufacturing in the production workshop.
Setting new standards in photorealism, color and speed for rapid prototyping
The biggest challenge facing designers and manufacturers in the production of prototypes for 3D printing is the inability of the prototype to achieve the level of realism necessary for certain operations. Stratasys' latest release of the enhanced Stratasys J750 3D printer with the new Stratasys J735 3D printer at GrabCAD With the support of Print software, it can produce high-fidelity, colorful parts, and the speed can be 5-10 times faster than traditional methods. This will help shorten the product development cycle and time to market, help designers and engineers simplify the design from the prototype to the prototype Make workflows that make prototypes more cost-effective.
Both printers are powered by PolyJet technology, equipped with a new color package, with highly accurate color matching capabilities, and with texture features that can produce high-definition effects, providing more than 500,000 color combinations, produced The prototype can be perfectly matched to the finished product in terms of appearance, feel and operation. Both printing systems do not require painting, assembly or post-processing processes, which can save a lot of costs; the components produced have good stability and consistent performance. This shortens the prototyping cycle. For parts and tear-resistant rubber parts that require ABS grade plastic forming simulations, the enhanced GrabCAD printing software (now available for connex 3TM 3D printers) further improves workflow and functional prototypes. .
The newly introduced J750 and J735 printers are suitable for prototyping from different industries such as automobiles, consumer products, research and education, and produce prototypes that are extremely close to the final product for design verification, functional performance testing and lamination/molding applications. In addition, they are equipped with two new materials, VeroYellowV and VeroMagentaV, which can realize enhanced red/orange/yellow colors with translucency, and are perfectly applicable to some consumer products and model products such as lights and shells.
With the powerful capabilities of the Stratasys J750 and J735 3D printers, designers can now perform 3D printing directly from the native CAD format, eliminating the need for conversion and repair of STL files. The software also features new features for 3D printed VRML files that can be used in products. Achieve more realistic textures, images and graphics. Detailed views of the model, tray and slice previews further reduce design time, making it easy to make adjustments before final 3D printing.
New software simplifies the production of fixtures and increases the efficiency of rapid tooling
As a new software for the improvement of Stratasys additive manufacturing solutions, Jigs and Fixtures for GrabCAD Print (GrabCAD Print tooling version) simplifies the preparation of prints related to the rapid production of tools and increases their degree of automation. The software will Improve the manufacturing process of manufacturing tools such as fixtures, and further increase the use rate of Stratasys industrial hardware and materials in the production of fixtures, making it popular to the practical level of the workshop.
The software is used by GrabCAD Print to automate several complex and time-consuming process steps and eliminate the need for multiple programs to run simultaneously in its workflow. The software also extends the capabilities of Stratasys Insight to simplify The tool path planning process; increased ease of use, reduced time and cost for manufacturing fixture components, and maximized the value of Stratasys additive manufacturing solutions.
The software also accepts native CAD designs so that the original design intent of the part can be maintained. Users no longer need to convert their CAD designs to STL files, thereby avoiding the risk of losing key information during the conversion process. At the same time, helping tool designers and The manufacturing engineer simplifies the design-to-part workflow, creating a user-friendly path between tool CAD design and additive manufacturing.
Jigs and Fixtures for GrabCAD Print software is applicable to manufacturing engineers, tool designers, production managers, and programmers, managers and business owners of technology service companies.
New Shop Floor Solution Promotes Additive Manufacturing into Mainstream Processes
Stratasys is helping to expand additive manufacturing technology from a sub-sector technology that applies only to prototyping and mold making to a true industrial additive manufacturing system. The latest release of a range of 3D printers compatible with carbon fiber composites , Supports the production of molds, fixtures, fixtures, and parts, which will increase the use of additive manufacturing in the production floor. These new solutions include the new F900 production-grade 3D printer that can use carbon fiber Nylon 12, and the Fortus 380 nylon carbon fiber printer. (Listed from the second quarter to the third quarter).
The F900 production-grade 3D printer is the third generation of Stratasys' flagship FDM system, and its features include MTread ready interface with production-ready precision and repeatability. The F900 is built on the Fortus 900 MC platform and is used today for high-end additive materials. Among the various additive production systems manufactured, this platform is one of the most widely used systems. The F900 has three new series of solutions: F900, F900 AICS (Aircraft Interior Certification Solution) and F900 PRO.
The Stratasys F900 Aircraft Interior Certification Solution (AICS) is the first solution in this category to meet the performance and traceability requirements of flying components, providing high levels for aircraft interiors and other highly-specified production applications. Repeatable professional solutions.
The Stratasys F900 PRO is a production-grade system that uses ULTEM 9085 resin as a raw material to produce parts with the highest FDM repeatability and performance. It not only has the full benefits and value of AICS products, but also features highly repetitive extensions specifically developed for AICS. In all industries.
Stratasys is working together with channel partners to launch new product launches across the country. For more information, please visit the website to sign up for http://web.stratasys.com/2018-Q2-NPI_LP.html
