Stratasys has unveiled the Fortus 450mc Gen III, marking a significant evolution in industrial-grade 3D printing technology.
A decade after the original Fortus 450mc set the standard for industrial-grade additive manufacturing, this new-generation system is built to meet the challenges of Industry 5.0 – combining human-machine collaboration with cutting-edge performance, adaptability, and sustainability.
What’s new with the Fortus 450mc Gen III?
The Gen III model is a complete upgrade, designed for modern manufacturing environments where efficiency, personalisation and uptime are critical.
Key improvements include:
-
Integrated Hardened Components: The Gen III comes equipped with fully hardened components, enabling seamless printing with composite and filled materials without the need for additional kits or hardware.
-
Expanded Material Compatibility: An inclusive full material license, along with the introduction of two new glass-filled materials—PA6-66 FR LS and rPET-GF—broadens the scope of 3D printing applications, particularly in tooling.
-
Optimised Printing Speeds: Experience faster print results when using Nylon 12CF carbon fibre material, thanks to the T40 printer tip, enhancing overall productivity.
-
Advanced Material Handling: The Fortus 450mc Gen III is compatible with the new Fortus FDC material delivery cabinet, offering material drying capabilities for higher quality prints and increased model material capacity—500 cubic inches (two 250 ci spools)—allowing for extended print times.
-
Complimentary GrabCAD Print Pro License: Each system includes a one-year license for GrabCAD Print Pro software, featuring tools like Accuracy Center for warp and curl adjustments, and Build Report for per-part cost estimations, ensuring precise and cost-effective production.
The Fortus 450mc Gen III is designed to seamlessly integrate into connected manufacturing networks, offering a factory-floor-ready additive manufacturing solution. Its robust build and advanced capabilities make it an ideal choice for industries seeking to enhance their production processes with reliable and versatile 3D printing technology.
The Fortus 450mc Gen III was launched by Stratasys at RAPID 2025 in Detroit. Contact SYS Systems for full information about the availability of the Fortus 450m Gen III.
