Accelerate production.
Discover efficiencies with the Stratasys® Fortus 450mc™ 3D printer. Minimize cost, increase uptime and improve quality on your factory floor. The Fortus 450mc builds parts using the FDM® materials you’re familiar with, but with the advanced complexity and high requirements needed by today’s manufacturers.
Built for streamlined manufacturing.
Built for streamlined manufacturing.
To help you get to market faster, the Fortus 450mc 3D printer provides a multi-application manufacturing solution that reduces design and build times, optimizes manufacturing workflows, decreases overall costs and promotes factory
innovation.
Capacity for complex parts.
Produce custom tools, prototypes and low-volume parts with complex geometries in days versus weeks, without sacrificing quality. The Fortus 450mc’s generously-sized build platform provides capabilities to meet industrial application
needs while its hands-free, soluble support materials aid in creating complex geometries as well as reducing labor.
Materials for many applications.
From standard to high-performance, the Fortus 450mc features a large portfolio of materials that cover a range of mechanical properties and support a broad number of applications. Leverage the stiffness of carbon fiber nylon for strong but lightweight tools, functional prototypes and end-use parts. Open up new applications using the superior strength, chemical resistance and ESD performance of Antero™ PEKK-based thermoplastics. All materials are specifically tuned to the printer to deliver optimal print results with consistent repeatability while support materials allow for successful builds of complex parts.
Industry-leading performance.
Near-Isotropic Parts
Fortus 450mc parts exhibit more than 80% strength in the vertical (ZX) plane compared with in-plane (XZ) performance for certain materials.1 2 This gives you
greater flexibility to orient the part in the build chamber for optimal print results while achieving more consistent mechanical properties throughout the part.
High-Strength Material Capability
Stratasys FDM technology is the standard in carbon fiber printing for tools and end-use parts that demand high strength and stiffness. FDM Nylon 12CF (carbon fiber) printed on the Fortus 450mc offers superior mechanical properties, with an ultimate tensile strength exceeding 10,000 psi. And with a measured production variance of less than 4%, the Fortus 450mc delivers these properties print after print.1
Unmatched Consistency
The Fortus 450mc provides unequaled consistency when it comes to part properties. Tests on the ultimate tensile strength of ASA material across multiple Fortus 450mc
printers in all areas of the build platform demonstrate a variance of less than 6%. Combined with a 93% print success rate, you get consistent, repeatable results
coupled with maximum yield.1
Unwavering Precision
Along with repeatable print results, the Fortus 450mc produces parts with a high degree of dimensional accuracy and precision. This has been demonstrated by tests performed on multiple printers and numerous builds over months of print operations.1 When you need reliable print performance that meets your tolerance
specifications, the Fortus 450mc delivers.
Simplified workflow.
Designed for an efficient workflow, the Fortus 450mc is compatible with the CAD-to-print GrabCAD Print™ software and features an intuitive touchscreen interface that requires little to no training to navigate. It also includes easy-to
replace build sheets and loading options.
Smart-factory integration.
Companies embracing Industry 4.0 concepts of automation, on-demand manufacturing and scalable part customization need connected 3D printing solutions that can integrate with their smart factory infrastructure. Stratasys has a variety of solutions to support connectivity, such as MTConnect, opening the door to new business possibilities.
Meet industry demands.
Tackle applications that require tight tolerances, toughness and environmental stability as well as specialized properties like V-0 flammability or FST ratings. The Fortus 450mc is also compatible with GrabCAD Shop™ and other Software Partner solutions to help manage the full 3D printing workflow. The Fortus 450mc uses production-grade thermoplastics to build strong, durable and dimensionally stable parts suitable for demanding applications in aerospace, automotive, rail, military, industrial equipment and consumer products.
Simplify your factory workflow.
To help you manage your printing projects more efficiently, the Fortus 450mc comes with integrated GrabCAD Print and Insight™ software. GrabCAD Print enables you to print directly from CAD formats using smart default settings and
tooltips as well as access detailed views of models, trays and slice previews. And with Insight, you can fine-tune part performance and material use for greater cost efficiency.
