SSYS News & Events

Stratasys unveiled a slate of new application-driven software capabilities, materials, and platform enhancements designed to empower manufacturers to push additive manufacturing beyond concept models and into production parts faster than ever. Stratasys will enable organizations to move the production of more parts and tools from traditional methods into additive workflows, by streamlining design and ease of use, improving reliability, and expanding materials and platform capabilities. This approach will dramatically increase speed and performance while reducing costs. The J850 Core printer expands the PolyJet(TM) technology lineup with a lower-cost system built for engineering teams focused on functional prototyping. It gives customers access to PolyJet performance and materials without paying for full-color capabilities. These advancements hit the sweet spot between capability and cost for teams that want speed and reliability at a more practical price point. The system is planned to be open for booking by the end of April.Stratasys and Shin-Etsu are introducing P3 MED Silicone 25A, the first biocompatible true silicone for 3D printing patient-specific medical devices and low-volume production parts, available exclusively on Origin printers. Fully certified to ISO 10993 standards, the material delivers authentic silicone properties such as elasticity, durability, and resistance to heat, chemicals, and aging. This combination overcomes many challenges traditionally associated with 3D printing true silicone.

Stratasys announced that it has expanded its portfolio of additive manufacturing solutions across multiple industries with the introduction of new software and materials that expand applications of existing systems and improve ease of use for customers. New materials include: ULTEM 1010 filament for the F3300(R) printer, and PolyJet ToughONE White for Stratasys J3/J5 printers, along with a new Measurement-Based Warped Modeling software addition to GrabCAD Print Pro.

Stratasys announced that its parts-on-demand business, Stratasys Direct, has been selected to take part in the U.S. Department of War's, DoW, Joint Additive Manufacturing Acceptability, JAMA IV Pilot Parts Program, a multimillion-dollar initiative to accelerate qualification and deployment of 3D-printed parts across military platforms and systems. As a Program of Record for the U.S. Air Force and Naval Air Systems Command, Stratasys continues to expand its role in advanced manufacturing across aerospace and defense production environments, building on the successful deployment of thousands of systems worldwide. Unlike aspirational additive manufacturing initiatives in defense, Stratasys Direct, the contract manufacturing division of Stratasys, delivers qualified production-scale parts to defense organizations for operational use across active platforms.
