FDM Materials and Systems

Product catalog summary
Overview of FDM 3D Printers: Stratasys FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) 3D printers are renowned for their reliability, repeatability, and versatility. They transform CAD files into durable parts suitable for conceptual models, functional prototypes, manufacturing tools, and production parts, supporting a wide range of thermoplastics for diverse applications.
Material Capabilities: FDM technology employs standard, engineering, and high-performance thermoplastics such as ASA, ABS, carbon fiber, thermoplastic polyurethane, and PEKK-based materials. This variety facilitates the creation of manufacturing tools, prototypes, and production parts with enhanced strength, durability, and dimensional stability.
Printer Features: FDM printers feature large build envelopes and material capacities, enabling longer build times and larger parts. They streamline workflows from design to manufacturing, reducing costs and lead times, and support rapid prototyping and just-in-time manufacturing.
Material Highlights: Notable materials include Antero 800NA and 840CN03 for high heat and chemical resistance, ULTEM 1010 and 9085 resins for high heat resistance and FST compliance, PPSF for mechanical strength, and various nylons and polycarbonates for specific applications.
Printer Models and Specifications: Models such as F120, F170, F270, F370, F770, Fortus 450mc, and F900 offer different build envelopes and system sizes, supporting various material options and providing part accuracy within specified tolerances. Software like GrabCAD Print and Insight assists in print preparation and management.
Performance Metrics: The document details tensile strength, flexural strength, impact resistance, and heat deflection temperatures for various materials, highlighting their suitability for different industrial applications.
Soluble Supports: Several types of soluble supports, including SR-20, SR-30, SR-35, and QSR, are used to support complex geometries during the printing process.
Available Colors: A wide range of colors is available for different materials, including White, Black, Ivory, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, and various shades of Gray.
Mechanical Properties: Detailed mechanical properties for different materials are provided, including tensile strength, tensile elongation at break, flexural strength, and IZOD impact resistance, measured in different orientations (XZ, ZX, XY).
Heat Deflection: The heat deflection temperature at 264 psi is provided for various materials, indicating their thermal resistance.
Unique Properties: Some materials possess unique properties such as impact strength, UV stability, electrostatic-dissipative properties, and biocompatibility.
System Availability: The document lists the availability of different materials on various Stratasys systems, including F370, F170, F270, Fortus 450mc, and F900.
Layer Thickness: Information on available layer thicknesses for different materials is provided, affecting the resolution and surface finish of printed parts.
Support Structure: Different support structures, such as SUP4000B™ breakaway support and QSR soluble support, are mentioned to facilitate the printing process.
Contact Information: Contact details for Stratasys headquarters in the USA and Israel are provided, emphasizing their commitment to customer support and continuous product and service development.
