Stratasys Announces New High Speed "FDM Quantum" Rapid
Prototyping System
MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 26, 1998--Stratasys, Inc. (NASDAQ
NMS:SSYS - news) today announced its
new large high-speed rapid prototyping (RP) system, the FDM
Quantum(TM). By incorporating the new
MagnaDrive(TM) technology, the FDM Quantum achieves very fast
throughput, superior ABS part quality, accuracy and
reliability. This system builds parts up to 2.5 to 5 times faster than
the company's current FDM systems. Additionally, a
much larger build envelope enables users to create sizable functional
prototypes, tooling patterns and masters.
The FDM Quantum allows users to build high throughput prototypes in
sizes up to 600 x 500 x 600 mm (23.6 x 19.7 x
23.6 inches) in ABS plastic, making it a strong RP tool for the
aerospace, automotive and consumer goods industries.
The new TouchWorks(TM) command center offers simplified system
control. It allows users to select build options
and to check part build status and material levels. The FDM Quantum
operates in an office environment without the
need for venting. Stratasys' proprietary QuickSlice(R) software
automatically slices the part and, if necessary,
generates supports. QuickSlice operates on Windows NT,
Hewlett-Packard, Silicon Graphics and Sun Microsystem
platforms.
With the addition of the FDM Quantum, Stratasys offers the largest
selection of RP systems in the industry. Stratasys
RP systems cover the entire product development process, from the
Genisys 3D printer for fast iterations of concepts,
to high-speed FDM systems for producing precision functional
prototypes, tooling patterns and masters.
Stratasys Inc., founded in 1989, is a manufacturer of rapid
prototyping systems for automotive, aerospace, industrial,
recreation, electronic, medical and consumer products OEMs. The
Company's patented Fused Deposition Modeling
(FDM(TM)) and Genisys rapid prototyping processes create 3-dimensional
plastic, elastomers and wax prototype parts
directly from 3-D CAD systems. The Company is located at 14950 Martin
Drive, Eden Prairie, Minnesota 55344-2020.
