:: Fortus 400mc

The Stratasys Fortus 400mcTM is accurate, repeatable and configurable for your manufacturing needs. Advancement in technology and materials increase part accuracy and part strength. Newly released: ABS-M30i material for the Fortus 400mc system: Applications for the ABMS-M30i material include surgical instruments, food processing and packaging systems, and pharmaceutical handling, processing, and packaging applications. ABS-M30i is FDA compatible and meets ISO 10993 standards. The material may be sterilized using either the gamma radiation or ethylene oxide (EtO) method. In addition to being biocompatible, ABS-M30i offers substantial improvements over standard Stratasys ABS across a number of mechanical properties, including tensile strength, impact strength, and flexural strength. ABS-M30i mechanical properties for strength are up to 67 percent stronger than standard Stratasys ABS, and bonding strength between layers is more than doubled, greatly expanding capabilities for functional testing or manufacturing production parts. Fortus 400mc Technology advancements in both the design and manufacturing of the extrusion head gantry make it straighter and stiffer. This holds the extrusion head to a tighter positional accuracy that can produce parts with a higher tolerance. And it results in performance that is repeatable. The Fortus 400mc has an increased build speed of 29 percent*. Unlike competitive technologies, this speed increase does not come at the expense of part quality — due to the stiffer gantry, improved extrusion parameters, and better extrusion flow control. These innovations allow part quality to improve, even at the faster speeds. System Flexibility Users can customize their system, selecting the material packages and build-envelope size as needed. Only pay for the capabilities you need. Standard build-envelope size is 14 x 10 x 10 in. (356 x 254 x 254mm); optional build-envelope size is 16 x 14 x 16 in. (406 x 356 x 406). The larger build-envelope option includes additional material bays for longer running jobs. ABS-M30 material launched with the Fortus 400mc, has significant improvements over standard ABS including; tensile strength, impact strength and flexural strength. Mechanical properties of ABS-M30 is up to 67% stronger than standard ABS**, expanding functional capabilities. The Fortus 400mc can build with the following optional materials: ABS-M30, PC, PC-ABS, and PPSF. Plans call for the eventual addition of ABS, ABSi, and PC-ISO, which are currently available on other Fortus systems. Due to improved build parameters and hardware improvements, parts manufactured from either PC-ABS or PC on an Fortus 400mc are significantly stronger than the respective parts built on other Fortus systems. PC-ABS parts are up to 17 percent stronger when built on the Fortus 400mc, and PC parts are up to 29 percent stronger. Technology advancements in combination with the stable thermoplastics used, enables the Fortus 400mc to outperform nearly any competing technology in accuracy and repeatability. Extensive testing shows that the Fortus 400mc maintains this repeatable performance when manufacturing multiple identical parts in different runs, at various platform positions, and on various machines.
