Stratasys announces new polymer 3D printing materials ahead of RAPID + TCT
Published:

Stratasys has released new materials for its F3300, J3/J5, Origin, and NEO SLA 3D printing systems, while also introducing a new Measurement-Based Warped Modeling software to GrabCAD Print Pro.

For users of the F3300 FDM printer, ULTEM 1010 is now available, while the PolyJet ToughONE White and Black materials are now able to be processed on the PolyJet P3 and P5 machines, and the P3 Deflect 110 resin has been launched for Origin printers. A new Somos material has been introduced to the NEO offering, and an automatic warping correcting capability has been added to GrabCAD Print Pro.

The ULTEM 1010 resin, in combination with the F3300, will enable the production of high-temperature, aerospace-grade parts with excellent resistance to heat and the lowest coefficient of thermal expansion in the FDM technology portfolio, per Stratasys. This combination should also help to reduce cost per part, Stratasys says, while allowing manufacturers to maintain precision and reliability.

In addition, ULTEM 1010 filament is planned to be available this summer in larger spool sizes for extended production runs through the Fortus FDC filament dryer. Compatible with the F900 and Fortus 450mc Gen III printers, the Fortus FDC dryer has been designed to support longer, uninterrupted builds with integrated material drying.

On the photopolymer side of Stratasys' additive manufacturing business, the P3 Defelct 110 resin represents an option for production parts exposed to elevated temperatures and mechanical loads, like automotive connectors, brackets, jigs, fixtures, and other demanding engineering applications, and Loctite 3D IND3785 Low Migration for Origin printers addresses the needs of FDA- and EU-compliant small-batch production in food and pharmaceutical environments.

PolyJet ToughONE will enable teams to create durable prototypes that withstand snapping, flexing, and repeated testing, while PolyJet ToughONE Black adds strong visual contrast with the same toughness and dimensional stability, supporting functional demonstrations, application testing, and high-impact design reviews.

And the new Somos WaterShed White delivers durable, moisture-resistant SLA performance for automotive, aerospace, and industrial prototypes. Its smooth surface finish and opaque white appearance make it well-suited for detailed models that must withstand functional testing. Somos Watershed White is validated to run on all Neo printers, including the large-format Neo800+.

Measurement-Based WAM Warped Adaptive Modeling integrated into GrabCAD Print Pro will use measured dimension data to automatically correct warping while providing precise additive production. Complex parts such as electrical connectors, precision jigs, and industrial fixtures can be produced with accuracy and consistency on the Origin DLP platform using P3 Programmable PhotoPolymerization technology, avoiding multiple iterations.

“These innovations are designed to solve real challenges manufacturers face when adopting or scaling additive manufacturing,” said Rich Garrity, Chief Business Unit Officer, Stratasys. “We are committed to continuous investment and development across our portfolio, working closely with customers to reduce barriers to adoption and unlock the incredible value that additive manufacturing can provide throughout the whole production workflow.”

Measurement-Based Warped Adapted Modeling in GrabCAD Print Pro™ brings precision to Origin® P3platform

Measurement-Based WAM™ Warped Adaptive Modeling integrated into GrabCAD Print Pro will use measured dimension data to automatically correct warping while providing precise additive production. Complex parts such as electrical connectors, precision jigs, and industrial fixtures can be produced with accuracy and consistency on the Origin® DLP platform using P3™ Programmable PhotoPolymerization technology, avoiding multiple iterations.

High-Detail SLA Prototypes

Attendees of the upcoming RAPID + TCT Conference (April 14-16) can receive demonstrations of software and hardware, and learn more about these new materials at the Stratasys booth, #1601.
