…their hardware for use in these applications. In November, Stratasys announced that it had expanded the suite of printers and materials that Materialise had validated with Mimics inPrint to include the J750 and J735 printers and the desktop Objet30 Prime 3D Printer. The J750/J735 printers can create models using multiple textures and both hard and soft materials, as well as multiple colors. “This takes the physician from having to evaluate 2D images in the form of X-rays or CT scans and bringing that information into a 3D world,” says Mike Gaisford, director of healthcare solutions at Stratasys. “The possibilities are…

…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…
