Stratasys plans to remove complexity from design-to-3D print processes with its latest release. GrabCAD Print’s Advanced FDM feature is aimed at ensuring design intent via intuitive model interaction to rapidly deliver strong, light parts, Stratasys notes. By avoiding CAD-to-STL conversion, users are able to work in high fidelity and advance the design-to-3D print process, Stratasys says. Advanced FDM is designed to speed part production, while maintaining creation of purpose-built parts that minimize weight without compromising strength, according to the company. “For design and manufacturing engineers, one of the most frustrating processes is ‘dumbing down’ a CAD file to STL format,…

At 3DEXPERIENCE World in Nashville earlier this week, Stratasys announced its new J826 3D printer. At roughly half the price of the other devices in the J8-series PolyJet line, the new model is targeted at users with more limited budgets and space. The printer provides full PANTONE-validated color and multi-material 3D printing, and is targeted at designers that need to produce rapid prototypes. According to Stratasys, the J826 is particularly suited for enterprises with mid-volume modeling requirements in industries such as consumer goods and electronics, automotive, and educational institutions. These end users can create realistic prototypes in full color using…

…the scoops had to be manufactured quickly. According to Stratasys, IndyCar came to them for help. The scoops were 3D printed with UV-resistant ASA materials by the Stratasys Direct Manufacturing division. The entire batch of 24 units needed for the race was made in about 48 hours, with enough time to ship them to the drivers before the next race. 3D printing can’t help anybody win a race, but it’ll help the drivers stay cool, literally, in the heat of the race. The 3D printed scoops produced by Stratasys kept the cockpits cool during the July IndyCar race. Image courtesy…

…address the shortage of nasal swabs. 3D printer manufacturer Stratasys is pooling resources with a lesser known 3D printer company to market and promote 3D printed nasopharyngeal (NP) swabs to healthcare providers and U.S. testing centers. Instead of leveraging its own 3D printer technology, Stratasys is lending its sales and marketing muscle and healthcare industry presence to start-up firm Origin, helping the firm more easily distribute Origin 3D-printed swamps. Each Origin One 3D printer has the ability to produce batches of 1,500 Origin NP 01 Swabs at a time, multiple times a day. Origin is on track to streamline processes…
