The J35 Pro represents the first multi-material desktop 3D printer from Stratasys, while the J55 Prime extends the value of the J55 3D printer to include a new set of versatile materials providing tactile, textual and sensory capabilities in addition to full colour.
‘We’re in the business of helping designers and engineers translate whatever they can imagine into reality,’ said Shamir Shoham, vice president of design for Stratasys. ‘Through the versatility of multi-material PolyJet 3D printing, our customers can create models and packaging prototypes not only quickly and efficiently, but with remarkable realism.’
The new versatile J35 Pro 3D printer accommodates everything from concept modelling to high-fidelity, realistic and fully functioning models. This new all-in-one, multi-material desktop 3D printer is ideal for the engineering and design office setting. With the J35 Pro, users have the option to combine a variety of materials, including Vero™ UltraClear, that can be printed simultaneously giving engineers and designers the versatility to produce parts that match their exact needs. The printer can incorporate up to three materials that can be printed as single material parts or combined on the same model part, on the same tray. Applications include over-moulding, filling simulation and printing in full greyscale.
The multi-material capabilities of the printer allow designers and engineers to incorporate the widest variety of greyscale colours and materials into a single print, while achieving complex shapes, intricate details, and delicate features. Engineers and designers can not only see what the product will look like, but also test the functionality of it in the pre-production stage. The J35 Pro also offers a simple design-to-print workflow powered by GrabCAD Print™, allowing users to import their designs using native CAD files or 3MF file formats.
The new packaging solution from Stratasys enables designers to easily produce complex, high-transparency, full-colour, high-fidelity packaging prototypes that accurately simulate final packaging including realistic colour combinations, textures, transparency and flexibility. This includes the ability to print simulated glass bottles and add ‘labels’ with sharp text and images that meet 2D graphics labelling standards. Furthermore, designers can incorporate simulated products or fillings, like cosmetics, make-up or liquids, for the ultimate in realistic rapid prototyping. Designers can now create packaging prototypes so real-looking, it is hard to believe they’re not the real thing.
The J55 Prime builds on the technology of the Stratasys J55™ 3D printer introduced in 2020. In addition to the existing highly realistic visual models, the printer utilises multiple materials that cater to design, functional and biocompatible prototyping, such as:
Elastico™ Clear and Elastico™ Black for flexible, soft-touch printing that accurately simulates the look, feel and function of rubber-like products.
Digital ABS™ Ivory for high impact designs such as moulds, jigs, fixtures and functional prototypes.
Vero™ContactClear, a translucent material designed for prolonged skin or bodily contact such as medical devices, sport wear or wearables.
Ultra-opaque colours, enabled by the VeroUltra™ family of materials, introduces 2D level graphics and text, vibrant and accurate colours with better plastic simulation, raising the bar in 3D printed multi-material models.
