Stratasys公司announces new 3D printing materials and new software partner at RAPID + TCT

工业3D打印机制造商Stratasys公司has made a whole slew of announcements at theRAPID + TCT show, signifying an accelerated shift towards ‘additive manufacturing at scale’.

The announcements include new 3D printing materials for the Stratasys H350 and Stratasys Origin One systems, and a new addition to the GrabCAD Software Partner Program: additive manufacturing software developerAMFG.

Rich Garrity, President of Stratasys Americas, said, “We are at the forefront of the shift to full-scale additive manufacturing, powered by 3D printing, with our best-in-class solutions for the entire product value chain.”

H350的高收益PA11和PA12

H350在Stratasys最近推出的selective absorption fusion (SAF) 3D printing technology. Designed for production-level throughput and end-use polymer parts, the system will now be able to utilize High-Yield PA11, a sustainable nylon material made of 100% bio-based castor beans.

Additionally, 2022 will see the launch of PA12, a nylon 12 powder characterized by its dimensional stability, chemical resistance, and impact strength. The offering is expected to be used across various industries for jigs and fixtures, tooling, and functional end-use components.

DURA56和3D IND405对于原点清除

Following theDLP机器制造商起源的获取去年年底,Stratasys推出了自己的Stratasys起源3D printer. The high-speed programmable photopolymerization (P3) technology ecosystem has now been expanded with two new resins developed in collaboration with chemicals company亨克尔.

Stratasys dura56的定义是其出色的耐用性和抗冲击力,提供高质量的表面饰面和每个零件的成本低。Dura56专为美学和鲁棒性至关重要的高材料用途应用和零件设计,在A类表面,外壳和具有交配功能的零件中具有用例。

On the other hand, 3D IND405 Clear is a semi-rigid 3D printing resin that ensures smooth part surfaces, high impact resistance, and excellent elongation. The material is clear in nature but can be machined, tapped, and polished further for applications such as microfluidic devices and guide overlays.

Cindy Deekitwong, Global Head of Marketing at Henkel’s Loctite, adds, “Together we will continue to drive innovation and deliver high-performance photopolymers that will allow engineers to realize the full potential of using additive manufacturing for end-use parts across a wide range of industries.”

此外,Stratasys还引入了原始材料许可证(OML),这是一个软件工具包今年发货。使用Origin OML,用户将能够在Origin One上尝试自定义工作流程,并修改参数,例如光,温度,力,速度和压力,以完全控制构建过程。

Expanding the GrabCAD Software Partner Program

The year 2021 has already seen eight software partners added to the GrabCAD Software Partner Program, the latest being AMFG.

该公司是3D打印领域的制造执行系统(MES)和工作流程自动化软件的专家,使组织能够集中其运营和简化部门的流程。与Stratasys合作,AMFG的工作流优化专业知识现在将与Grabcad软件和Stratasys的系统结合使用。因此,公司的客户将能够利用完全自动化的订单管理,路由和生产计划。

“The combination of Stratasys hardware, GrabCAD software, and AMFG’s market-leading additive MES platform is a game-changer for AM operations looking to scale through automation, while increasing overall traceability, utilization, and quality,” said Danny Winn, Vice President of Growth and Innovation at AMFG. “The ability to pull data from AM systems into a centralized software solution is not just a nice to have – it’s critical for the future of scalable end-part manufacturing.”

本月初,Stratasys是awarded a $20 million U.S. Navy contract这是该公司有史以来最大的。该交易将在未来五年内实现,将使Stratasys供应高达25F900 3D打印机美国海军,除了材料、苏pport, and training needed to run them.

在其他地方,Stratasys最近became the first Founding Partnerof Germany-based venture builderNfrontier的new Emerging Technologies Center (EmTeCe) in Berlin. The EmTeCe aims to become one of Europe’s leading emerging technology innovation facilities, an R&D center of sorts where creative hardware and software applications will be developed for clients.
