Stratasys FDM Prototyping and Manufacturing Systems

FDM systems enable you to manufacture real parts in just three steps, unlike competitive processes that can have up to 16 steps. Just load your file, manufacture your part and remove the support material.

Manufacture Parts in Days Not Weeks

Klock Werks Kustom Cycles needed to build motorcycle parts in record time, so they used a Stratasys FDM system to turn CAD files into parts with the strength and accuracy a competition bike demands. Traditional tooling would have taken four weeks and cost $20,000.

RTV Molding Using Stratasys WaterWorks Cores

Stratasys FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) offers an easy, fast and cost-effective alternative to machining or molding complex soluble cores. Instead of building the core in an FDM model material, it is made from WaterWorks support material. After casting, the WaterWorks core dissolves and leaves the desired cavity in the urethane part.

Request FDM Sample Part

FDM parts are durable and functional. Using FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling), Stratasys systems can build in ABS-M30, ABSi, PC, PC-ABS, PC-ISO, and PPSF – tough enough to withstand rigorous testing and real world use. These high-performance engineering materials won't warp, shrink, or absorb moisture. Get Sample Part>>


 

 

3D CAD and Sustainable Design

Is Sustainable Design on your new list of corporate priorities? How about Green Engineering? If not today, they soon will be. They will be right up theretango with terms like Environmentalism and Carbon Footprint.

Today, CAD vendors are exploring a variety of ways to support sustainable design. Approaches range from sponsorship of sustainable design conferences and contests to significant changes to make CAD software more responsive to the task. Muted rumors talk of system upgrades to come — such as a carbon footprint calculator that will advance with each change in material or configuration selected — but CAD suppliers prefer to talk about what they offer today.
