…real ABS material in a 100°C build chamber using Stratasys SR-30 soluable supports allows dimensional accuracy and precision typically associated with higher-grade and more expensive industrial 3D printers, Makerbot officials said. Specifically, they claim METHOD X can print parts that are up to 26% more rigid and up to 12% stronger than modified ABS formulations used on most existing desktop 3D printers. In addition, the 100°C Circulating Heated Chamber significantly reduces part deformation, producing parts that are less susceptible to warping or cracking and that sport an optimal surface finish, they added. “The combination brings manufacturing closer to the desktop…

Take a closer look at how Stratasys Additive Manufacturing is helping a company entrenched in Powersports vehicles drive innovation forward. Polaris is most commonly known for developing snowmobiles and off-road vehicles. With all the hands-on assembly work that the company does in the plant, they've begun to use 3D printing to change the way that they make tooling. Much of what the company does works around different styles of tooling. Polaris says the biggest benefit of partnering with Stratasys and their technology is the ability to iterate on new tooling designs.
