STRATASYS Launches World's First Full-Color Multi-Material, the J750 3D Printer, in Singapore

One-stop realism to eliminate time-consuming processes, accelerating product concepting, design, decision-making, and delivery

SINGAPORE, May 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Stratasys Ltd. (Nasdaq:SSYS), the 3D printing and additive manufacturing solutions company, today launched the industry's first full-color multi-material 3D printer - the J750 3D printer - in Singapore. The new solution breaks restrictive technology barriers, enabling customers for the first time to mix-and-match full color gradients alongside an unprecedented range of materials to achieve one-stop realism without post-processing. This, together with the system's superior versatility, makes the J750 the ultimate 3D printing solution for product designers, engineers and manufacturers, as well as service bureaus. Stratasys also demonstrates the streamlined design-to print workflow during a media experience tour held today at the Stratasys Experience Center, showcasing its unprecedented efficiencies in product concepting and design verification.

One-Stop 3D Printed Realism Delivers True Product-matching Prototypes and Unprecedented Cost/Resource Efficiencies

The Stratasys J750, the premier addition to the Objet Connex multi-color, multi-material series of 3D Printers, allows customers to choose from more than 360,000 different color shades plus multiple material properties - ranging from rigid to flexible and opaque to transparent. Prototypes can include a vast array of colors, materials and material properties in the same part, speeding production of realistic models, prototypes and parts for virtually any application need - as well as delivering incomparable 3D printing versatility to produce tooling, molds, jigs and fixtures and more.

The J750 enables near instantaneous decision-making by streamlining the way products are designed, evaluated and brought to market. A true industry milestone, the productivity-boosting J750 is expected to improve TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) by eliminating many of the traditional complex processes, time and resources required to create product-matching prototypes. Designers and engineers can physically experience true product prototypes within hours of developing an initial concept for immediate design and function validation with internal stakeholders and end users. Design decisions can be made instantaneously and with full confidence to help accelerate product delivery.

"Today's supply chain is considering transformational opportunities that can be realized through 3D printing capabilities. It is enabling new business opportunities to more quickly design and test products that are under development, as well as to actually manufacture commercial and industrial goods; (3D printing technologies) are also enabling the 'new possible' by producing new designs that could not be made with traditional manufacturing technologies, while negating assembly, improving performance and elevating part quality," according to Michael Shanler, Research Director and Pete Basiliere, Research VP for Imaging and Print Services, Gartner.*

Increased Productivity and Throughput with New PolyJet Studio and Six Material Capacity

The J750's one-stop realism is supported with a streamlined workflow beginning with the all new PolyJet Studio(TM). The software's new intuitive user interface allows users to simply choose materials, optimize the build and manage print queues. Assignment of colors, transparencies and rigidity is eased via familiar design controls. Color textures can be loaded fully intact via VRML files imported from CAD tools.

The Stratasys J750 also minimizes downtime associated with material changeovers. Featuring a large, six-material capacity, it keeps the most used resins loaded and ready for printing. Newly designed, state-of-the-art print heads means simulated production plastics, like Digital ABS(TM), can be 3D printed in half the time of other Stratasys PolyJet systems. As 3D printed models are delivered complete with full colors, color textures and multiple materials, no time is wasted on painting and assembly.

"The Stratasys J750 is truly our vision of future 3D printing, as it redefines conventional prototyping and manufacturing processes," Ido Eylon, Vice President of Sales, Stratasys Asia Pacific & Japan. "Combining full color with multiple materials and a streamlined workflow, the J750 will empower businesses with cutting edge innovation to achieve one-stop realism. In the product concept stage, time usually used for manual painting and assembly can now be cut dramatically with the J750, allowing for engineers and designers to make informed decisions quickly."

Among the many organizations and businesses that can benefit from the J750 are consumer product companies, service bureaus, design firms, education, universities and research institutions, medical device companies, hospitals, medical schools, and special effects and animation companies.

Customers can order the Stratasys J750 immediately. Delivery times may vary according to region.
