Stratasys 3D Printing Information
STLs, OBJs, CMBs, Oh My! With so much file extension alphabet soup going on, it is hard to know what-is-what and when-to-use-which when it comes to 3D printing file formats. Compound that with a myriad of different 3D printing technologies and it is easy to get overwhelmed and fall back to your old friend – the STL. But…
In the early days of additive manufacturing, fragile parts that could only be used for prototyping was the norm. Now, in 2022, the emphasis from material developers has shifted to resins and thermoplastics focused of making strong parts, capable of being used in actual real-world applications. In many situations, new printers and technologies are capable…
The Stratasys team has developed a ground-breaking radiopaque medical 3D printing material called RadioMatrix that can further enhance medical practice and studies. Now, doctors, researchers and labs can print incredibly accurate medical models that highlight intricate structures when viewed through medical imaging technologies such as X-Ray or Computed Tomography (CT). How does it work? Medical…
In 2019, Stratasys introduced a new FDM ABS-ESD7 material. This new material is available on the Stratasys F370, the new Stratasys F370CR, Fortus 450 and the Stratasys F900. ABS-ESD7 is an ABS thermoplastic that is electrostatic dissipative. This unique property is achieved by blending carbon nanotubes with ABS plastic. This article will help explain why you may…
Introducing Stratasys’ new Stereolithography 3D printer, the Stratasys Neo. The Stratasys Neo prides itself on its high reliability and superior surface quality without requiring extensive post processing and part finishing. What is Stereolithography? Stereolithography (SL), marks the original 3D printing technology. This process uses a vat filled with liquid UV curable resin and a UV…
Learn about the two leading additive technologies that are the tip of the spear when it comes to production 3D printed end-use parts. Prototyping, research, product development and manufacturing aids have been the long-standing pillars of the 3D printing universe – but times are changing. With the recent disruptions to supply chains and the increasing…
3D printing has been around for decades, and like all technologies, it has changed a lot! It also can have different meanings depending on who you are speaking to. For this article, we are going to focus on FDM technology. Someone that has been in the industry for the last 15 to 20 years may…
The 3D printing market is always on the prowl for high performance materials. Materials that are strong, chemical resistant, heat resistant, bio-compatible, or even food safe. Thanks to Stratasys, the search can come to an end. ULTEM 1010 CG, available on the Fortus 450 and F900, this certified grade thermoplastic boasts a ton of highly desirable physical and mechanical properties…
This week Stratasys announced an all-new composite 3D printers. These printers include the F190CR and F370CR and are equipped with hardened components to operate with composite materials. The F123CR series is manufacturing floor ready, for demanding composite thermoplastic applications. They feature new strong, and stiff nylon-based carbon fiber filled materials including ABS-CF10 and FDM Nylon-CF10. Both materials are reinforced with…
