The new comer in the PolyJet™ 3D printers family is designed for engineers who do not need full colour to produce their prototypes for concept verification and design validation.
The J850™ Pro 3D printer processes high-performance materials such as transparent VeroUltra™ Clear but also rigid, flexible, and composite digital materials. It can simultaneously print seven materials, and is said to deliver high accuracy at a fast pace.
According to the manufacturer, the seven simultaneous materials give engineers the versatility to produce parts that match their exact needs, instead of turning to multiple 3D printing or traditional technologies requiring extensive post-processing, saving time and costs. Materials include the entire grayscale space of the Vero™ rigid family, the Agilus30™ family of flexible materials, VeroClear, VeroUltra Clear, and Digital ABS materials.
With a build capacity of 490 x 390 x 200mm, Stratasys Ltd. ensures that concept models can be printed at twice the speed of legacy systems using Super High Speed Mode, and at approximately half the cost per part, using DraftGray material.
The J850 Pro is software-upgradeable to the Prime version for full-color printing.
“We’ve seen the value to customers of our PolyJet 3D printers – in throughput, accuracy, reliability, and multi-material capabilities – and are excited to have the J850 Pro now bring that value to our engineering customers, at an attractive price,” said Stratasys’ Design Vice President Shamir Shoham.
Typical applications well-served by the J850 Pro include accurate simulation of textures, product labeling, shock absorption, fit and functional testing, over-molding, living hinges, injection molds, embedded sealing elements, parting lines simulation, structural mechanics and integrity, and see-through elements such as transparent materials for light guiding applications and micro-fluidics utilizations. These needs are common in industries such as consumer products and electronics, automotive, medical devices, service bureaus, and the education market.
“The ability to easily create prototypes delivers great value to engineering teams in different stages of the development cycle,” said Ofer Libo, product manager for the J850 Pro. “In addition, the J850 Pro’s multi-material capabilities and large throughput enables them to test different designs, textures, and material properties to accelerate time to market and precisely deliver on user needs.”
