Stratasys introduces Fortus 250mc ‘cross-over’ 3D printer

The Fortus 250mc 3D rapid prototyping and production machine is designed to give users the convenience of a Dimension 3D printer with the flexibility of a Fortus production 3D printer.

This cross-over system uses the Insight software that drives the Fortus line of production 3D printers. With Insight, users have better control of build speed, part accuracy and feature detail. Like all Stratasys additive manufacturing systems, the Fortus 250mc is based on the fused deposition modelling (FDM) process.

"The engineers who will be interested in the Fortus 250mc are likely to be traditional 3D printer candidates who want more sophisticated build-parameter control," says Stratasys product manager Mary Stanley. "Users are moving beyond prototyping into production with the additive manufacturing machines. The most common application is building functioning manufacturing tools, like jigs and fixtures to be used in the production process."

The Fortus 250mc has a 254 by 254 by 305 mm build envelope and offers three build layer options: 0.178, 0.254 and 0.330 mm.
