Stratasys recently announced its newest 3D printer designed for designers. The J850’s larger, seven-material capacity allows users to print a full range of color, transparency and flexibility combination in a single part.
The Stratasys J850 can create twice as many models during concept design, so you can share ideas and gain feedback earlier. With this extra control over the modeling process, you can create five different concept models in the same time it takes to build one using traditional methods.
With the J850 3D Printer, Stratasys seeks to remove roadblocks often encountered by designers using current 3D printing technologies within each design stage:
- Concept Design: During this step, designers examine the shape of the potential product. The J850 allows users to print accurate repeatable geometries faster at a reduced price. With a Super High Speed Mode, designers can create concept models at accelerated speeds. More models presented at concept design means extra time for part refinement. Additionally, the introduction of DraftGrey gives users access to a material for low-cost, rapid iterations for use early in the design process.
- Detailed Design: In this phase, designers seek to examine fine model details (such as internal features) and color. The J850 helps start Color Material Finished Design (CMF) weeks sooner to generate more iterations with less hassle. A new VeroUltraClear material 3D prints in extreme clarity to visualize internal features and create concept models that verify the design of clear parts. PANTONE Validated™ color additionally builds in a universal language of color for consistent, reliable, and realistic decision-making at every stage.
- Final Design: It’s here users seek the most realistic prototype possessing the actual look and feel of the finished product with reflection of clear design intent to bring models to life. The J850 achieves this with an ability to 3D print seven materials simultaneously to enable a full range of color, transparency, and flexibility – all in a single part.
