Addressing the growing demands of engineers and designers to deliver production-grade, custom 3D-printed tooling and parts, Stratasys unveiled several new durable, temperature and chemical resistant FDM® thermoplastics. Meeting the specific requirements of 3D printed applications in manufacturing, these materials can accommodate high temperatures and challenging requirements common on the production floor.
Materials introduced today include Antero™ 840CN03 for the Stratasys Fortus® F900™ 3D printer, and Diran™ 410MF07 and ABS-ESD7™ for the Stratasys F370™ 3D printer. Each of these thermoplastics are well-suited to handle the requirements of manufacturing applications in industries such as automotive and aerospace to engineer advanced 3D printed jigs and fixtures, tooling, prototypes and production parts.
Developed for the F900 3D printer, Antero 840CN03 is the second PEKK-based polymer now offered by Stratasys in its portfolio of proprietary Antero™ high performance polymers – and leveraging the Kepstan® PEKK technology from Stratasys strategic supplier Arkema. The new Antero material is formulated to create highly customized tooling and parts with consistent electrostatic discharge (ESD) performance, and is ideal for printing high temperature- and chemical-resistant parts with ultra-low outgassing and exceptional wear properties.
Suited for aerospace and industrial applications, the new Antero material with ESD properties can create strong yet lightweight parts used in frames, panels and components. The material is also being added by Stratasys Direct Manufacturing, the company’s contract manufacturing division – as part of its comprehensive material offerings.
