When you purchase a Stratasys FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) 3D printer, your material options may seem endless, but it’s important to make sure you’re using the best Stratasys materials for your FDM applications. In my previous blog, I discussed understanding ABS, ASA, and PLA Stratasys FDM materials. Today, we're going to focus on Polycarbonate, PC-ABS, and Nylon materials, available to Fortus customers as the Engineering Bundle. Let’s take a look.

by Dan Erickson on July 9, 2018
Whether you are considering the purchase of a Stratasys FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) 3D printer, or already have one, it’s important to us that it be used to its fullest potential. That means using the right materials in the right application. But if you’re new to the world of Additive Manufacturing, you may find the selection of materials to be a bit unfamiliar. In this blog series, I’ll try to shed some light on the Stratasys FDM materials, let you know where they shine, and what to expect when using them. Today I’ll focus on ABS, PLA, and ASA.

POSTED IN 3D PRINTING, STRATASYS, 3D PRINTING MATERIALSAntero 800NA: The High-Performance Thermoplastic
by Lisa Hannon on May 30, 2018
With the rapid adoption of 3D printing across industries, companies are continuously looking for new ways to incorporate additive manufacturing into their workflows and create more efficient processes. While in the past chemicals and other harsh environments would make 3D printing impossible, today companies like Stratasys are creating new materials to meet the requirements of almost every application. Stratasys’ most recent release, Antero 800NA, is a heat and chemical resistant PEKK-based thermoplastic that manufacturers can use to cut costs and design more quickly. -
POSTED IN POLYJET, 3D PRINTING MATERIALSStratasys Announces New SUP706 for Polyjet Machines
by Rob Stipek on November 17, 2015
On Tuesday, Stratasys announced a brand new support material
available to all Polyjet Connexcustomers, SUP706. Running on all
triple-jetting 3D printers, SUP706 is compatible with all Polyjet materials,
the only exception being specifically identified hearing aid materials. This
new support material opens up doors to print even more detail geometries and
reduces the already low design constrictions Polyjet users have. Key benefits
to the new Sup706 include.- Maximize productivity of your triple-jetting
system and achieve a low TCO per part with easy, two-step automated support
removal - More design freedom with the ability to easily
remove support material from delicate features and small cavities - Faster and easier water-jet removal and improved glossy-mode performance
For more information on how you can take advantage of the
benefits of SUP706 please contact material@fisherunitech.com. - Maximize productivity of your triple-jetting

by Angelle Erickson on August 2, 2011
Stratasys has announced the new ABS-ESD7 static dissipative material. If static charge can damage your products, impair their performance or even cause an explosion, try ABS-ESD7.Ideal for protecting electronics from damage caused by electrostatic discharge (static shock), preventing fire and explosion (static spark) and preserving equipment (static cling), parts built with ABS-ESD7 will have a target surface resistance of 10^7 ohms and typically a range between 10^9 ohms to 10^6 ohms.Break the bond between manufacturing tools and your products.
Fortus 400mc and 900mc 3D Production Systems can now use ABS-ESD7 to quickly and inexpensively produce static dissipative jigs, fixtures and functional prototypes.
