Stratasys Ltd (SSYS), a leader in polymer 3-D printing and additive manufacturing (AM) solutions will showcase its new F3300 Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3-D printer at
Formnext, taking place this week (7-10 November), in Frankfurt, Germany. This innovative 3-D printer offers unparalleled value to manufacturing customers with reduced labour, maximised uptime and higher part quality and yield.
Built for manufacturing by the inventors of FDM, the F3300 will be the most sophisticated industrial 3-D printer on the market. Its design and advanced features will transform how AM is used in the most demanding industries such as aerospace, automotive, government/military and service bureaus. The F3300 is expected to begin shipment at the beginning of 2024.
Key advancements to unlock more manufacturing applications include: faster print speeds with increased gantry speeds, faster extrusion rates and autocalibration; higher part quality and yields with up to a 25% increase in accuracy and repeatability, along with printer auto-calibration; maximised uptime with machine monitoring, extruder redundancy and an interface design that focuses on ease-of-use for human operators; and lower costs with 25-45% savings over other Stratasys FDM solutions
Rich Garrity, Stratasys chief industrial business unit officer, said: “This next-generation AM system empowers customers to scale production and reduce the need to compromise between additive and traditional manufacturing solutions. Rising global supply chain challenges, conventional capacity limitations, and application complexity are placing incredible stress on manufacturing. The F3300 will empower customers to accelerate product development, allowing them to innovate faster, overcome production challenges, be quicker to market, and maximise their return on investment."
The F3300 is the latest addition to the Stratasys FDM family which includes the F900, F770, F450mc, and the F123 series. F3300 complements Stratasys’ F900, which is known for its dependability, large capacity, and use of high-performance materials.
Stratasys is hosting a special live event tomorrow (7 November) at 04.30 pm (GMT) to unveil the F3300. Please click
