Dash-cae, a prototype and tooling manufacturer based in the UK, has acquired aStratasysF900MC3D printer加大对汽车，赛车和航空航天行业的服务。
Adding to an existing bank of Stratasys FDM machines, the new system is contributing to Dash-CAE’s advanced composite manufacturing workflow for the likes of Formula 1, hydrofoil boats and MotoGP.
蒂姆·罗巴森（Tim Robathan）, managing director of Dash-CAE and former F1 Principle Engineer, comments, “Our primary interest was to develop easier processes for molding carbon fibre parts. As a result we pioneered tooling for composite parts – both for direct and lost tooling.”
Since its acquisition, the F900 has already started making significant savings for the company across production times, part cost and the design process.
工具专家Dash-cae
Dash-Cae成立于2006年，是一家位于英格兰东南部牛津郡的私人公司。该公司支持高价值运输和航空航天行业，是一家设计，快速原型和复合材料服务的一站式商店。
From a secure studio and R&D workshop, the team has all the tools necessary to produce prototypes and strong, end-use carbon fiber parts harnessing 3D scanning, traditional 6-axis milling and 3D printing.
In addition to the new F900, Dash-CAE owns Stratasys F400 and F250mc FDM machines. At the company, these systems are used, among other things, to create tooling, jigs and fixtures.
Robathan解释说：“我们的3D打印机正在帮助我们削减开发时间和成本，同时构建功能齐全的零件和生产工具，”其他大型打印机（例如我们的）可能仅用于内部使用的客户站点，但我们的商品对所有人都开放。。”
Application of the F900mc
Stratasys F900MC提供的建筑面积为914.4 x 609.6 x 914.4毫米，这是该公司整个Fortus系列中最大的一个。应用FDM技术，该机器与各种工程级材料兼容ULTEM, PC-ABS, and FDM Nylon.
The industrial applications of the F900 series has made it the 3D printer of choice for valued Stratasys customers likeAmerican sports car racers Team Penskeand全球工程公司GKN航空航天。
For Dash-CAE, Robathan adds, “With 3D printing, we can quickly run through multiple complex iterations and save a lot of time,”
“碳纤维非常有效，但工具成本可能会过高。我们的工具是替代方案，现在我们正在生产最多1立方米的物品，用于底盘，悬架和车身。”
例如，在Dash-Cae上产生的F900MC上产生的一个3D打印模具（如下图）能够装饰多达100个碳纤维零件，反复暴露于150°C的温度和6个条压力。
