Overview
Without the cost normally associated with a high-end printer, the Fortus 380mc guarantees accurate, reliable, optimum-strength parts using ASA and FDM Nylon 12 Carbon Fiber, a material boasting a higher stiffness-to-weight ratio than any of its rivals.
Incredibly light but tough, it is an engineering-grade thermoplastic that gives unparalleled strength for dependable functional prototyping, end-use parts and rugged tooling, often replacing low-volume metal parts.
Stratasys carbon fiber contains 35 per cent chopped carbon fibres, compared with the 15 per cent figure of its nearest competitor, and achieves 30 to 50 per cent higher density on finished builds.
In terms of printing speed, the Fortus 380 is four to five times faster than anything else out there using carbon fiber –but that does not come at the expense of quality.
