These are some of the features that make the Fortus 450mc a valuable part of the manufacturing floor.
- Large T20 printer tips provide faster material deposition for quicker print times on large parts.
- The fully heated build chamber ensures accurate and precise print quality, including high-performance/high-temp materials.
- Multiple color options on several materials, including high-performance ULTEM™, reduce the need for post-process steps like painting.
- MTConnect compatibility allows integration with your factory-floor data information system.
Fortus 450mc materials include standard, engineering-grade, and high-performance thermoplastics for virtually any industry application. Several are highlighted below but represent only a portion of what is available. Refer to the printer’s specification sheet to see all available materials.
ASA
Available in 10 colors, ASA has similar properties to ABS but is UV resistant and produces a smoother printed surface.
FDM Nylon 12CF
This strong carbon-filled nylon features the highest stiffness-to-weight ratio of any FDM material.
ULTEM™ 9085
ULTEM™ 9085 resin features a high strength-to-weight ratio in addition to high thermal and chemical resistance.
Antero 800NA
This PEKK-based material has excellent mechanical properties, chemical resistance, and low outgassing characteristics.
Kimya PC-FR
Flame-retardant polycarbonate is designed for compliance with transportation-industry fire safety regulations.
