New Stratasys 3D Printer Changes the Game for Education

We are very excited about the newest printer from Stratasys – the J55.

This system is a game changer for educators focused on design because the J55 is about a third of the price of enterprise-class PolyJet printers. It combines realism and productivity, including high fidelity and five simultaneously printed materials that enable nearly 500,000 colors, PANTONE™ Validation, realistic textures and transparency in one printed part.

Features include:

  • Enterprise-Quality Design RealismThe J55 gives designers full CMF (color, material, finish) capabilities. It leverages high-performance PolyJet materials, including a full range of textures, transparency with VeroClear (VeroUltraClear availability later in 2020), X-Rite-based color profiles and PANTONE Validated™ color – offering a universal language of color that ensures reliable, realistic decision-making across every stage of the design process.
  • Reliable + Easy to Maintain — The J55 features a patented rotating build platform with a fixed print head to maximize reliability and simplify maintenance
  • Small Footprint Without Sacrificing Output or Design Capabilities — The J55 3D Printer features a maximum build volume size of 1,340 cubic inches (22 liters) and takes up a mere 4.6 sq. ft. (.43 m2) of floor space. However, it still supports the full design process with same day send-to-print and minimal post-processing. It provides the same exceptional resolution and detail as J8-series 3D printers, with models matching the shape, material, color and finish of final products.
  • Robust Material Capacity — The five-material capacity (plus support material) means operators can load their most frequently used resins and avoid downtime associated with material changeovers
  • Quiet — The J55 is about as quiet as a home refrigerator, this is suited for any type of classroom
  • Odor-free — The J55 features ProAero™ filtration technology for odor-free operation
  • Simplified Workflow — Fully supported by GrabCAD Print™ software, the J55 enables a smooth import of common CAD files (e.g. SOLIDWORKS, CATIA™, PTC Creo®, Siemens NX, Inventor®) and the latest 3MF file format, a significant improvement over traditional STL, OBJ, and VRML files.
  • Remote Monitoring — A great feature to have especially given the current education landscape, print jobs can be managed from anywhere, including your home
