Stratasys expands offering with PolyJet J850 Core

Stratasys (SSYS) unveiled a slate of new application-driven software capabilities, materials, and platform enhancements designed to empower manufacturers to push additive manufacturing beyond concept models and into production parts faster than ever. Stratasys will enable organizations to move the production of more parts and tools from traditional methods into additive workflows, by streamlining design and ease of use, improving reliability, and expanding materials and platform capabilities. This approach will dramatically increase speed and performance while reducing costs. The J850 Core printer expands the PolyJet(TM) technology lineup with a lower-cost system built for engineering teams focused on functional prototyping. It gives customers access to PolyJet performance and materials without paying for full-color capabilities. These advancements hit the sweet spot between capability and cost for teams that want speed and reliability at a more practical price point. The system is planned to be open for booking by the end of April.Stratasys and Shin-Etsu are introducing P3 MED Silicone 25A, the first biocompatible true silicone for 3D printing patient-specific medical devices and low-volume production parts, available exclusively on Origin printers. Fully certified to ISO 10993 standards, the material delivers authentic silicone properties such as elasticity, durability, and resistance to heat, chemicals, and aging. This combination overcomes many challenges traditionally associated with 3D printing true silicone.
