FORTUS 3D Production Systems
Fortus 3D Production Systems produce the most accurate, durable and functional prototypes and parts using high-performance thermoplastics. And it offers the largest build size and maximum throughput.
Only Fortus FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) technology offers advanced production grade thermoplastic materials and state-of-the-art hardware and software. By offering the most sophisticated technology, the largest build envelope and maximum throughput of any additive fabrication system, Fortus offers unprecedented versatility and capability.
Parts produced with a Fortus 3D production system are 30-300% stronger than Stratasys parts produced with 3D printers, even when using the same materials. The advanced technology of Fortus makes the mechanical properties of the part the most accurate, stable, and durable.
Parts for Functional Prototyping
Prototypes produced by Fortus systems are more accurate and durable than can be produced via other additive fabrication processes. They can be used throughout the design and functional testing process. These prototypes speed your time to market, drive down costs, and unleash you from the limitations of lesser grade systems. Make multiple design iterations to optimize design and find design errors early in the design process when changes are the least expensive to make.
Advanced Applications
Fortus 3D Production System’s advanced hardware, improved output, robust materials, large capacity and sophisticated software, enables you to build parts that stand up to demanding requirements and conditions. Fortus application engineers have developed unique applications for parts manufactured by Fortus systems. Techniques range from as simple as painting to more complex applications such as RTV Molding, Molded Paper Pulp and Sand Casting and many more.
Applications
- Form and fit models and testing
- Concept models
- Functional testing in real-life conditions
- Visual aids for tooling, engineers and accurate bids
- Sharing concepts with management, customers, sales, marketing and manufacturing
- Communication models between departments and companies
- Samples for marketing and sales
- Product research
Benefits
Reduce Time
- Accelerates product development by bringing ideas to life faster and less expensively
- Enables you to correct errors early in the design process and before the tooling stage
- Reduces time-to-market
Reduce Cost
- Better-predict end product performance and gain certification confidence with high-tolerance parts
- Find problems early in design cycle, before the cost to correct them rises Eliminate one or more rounds of tooling by proving out the product’s design before it reaches tooling
Test form, fit and function
Other Benefits
- Multiple iterations of design produce better quality end product
- Gain early approvals for required testing such as UL and CE certification
- Easy to use system with no messy liquid vats or powder containers to maintain
- The Fortus technology process is simple, safe and produces thermoplastic parts in hours, not weeks
- The system is office friendly with no special venting
- Building process is environmental conscious
