High-Strength Material Capability

To help you get to market faster, the Fortus 450mc 3D printerprovides a multi-application manufacturing solution that
reduces design and build times, optimizes manufacturing
workflows, decreases overall costs and promotes factory
innovation.

Stratasys FDM technology is the standard in carbon fiber
printing for tools and end-use parts that demand highstrength and stiffness. FDM Nylon 12CF (carbon fiber)
printed on the Fortus 450mc offers superior mechanicalproperties, with an ultimate tensile strength exceeding
10,000 psi. And with a measured production variance ofless than 4%, the Fortus 450mc delivers these properties
print after print.1

Capacity for complex parts.
Produce custom tools, prototypes and low-volume parts
with complex geometries in days versus weeks, without
sacrificing quality. The Fortus 450mc’s generously-sized build
platform provides capabilities to meet industrial applicationneeds while its hands-free, soluble support materials aid increating complex geometries as well as reducing labor.
An open-material system for many applications.
From standard to high-performance, the Fortus 450mc
features a large portfolio of materials. Three material tiers –Stratasys Preferred, Stratasys Validated, and open materials– offer a range of capabilities to support a broad number ofapplications. Carbon-fiber provides the strength and stiffness
for strong but lightweight tools, functional prototypes andend-use parts. High-strength, chemical- and fire-resistantmaterials enable applications in the transportation and oil andgas industries.
Industry-leading performance.

Unmatched Consistency
The Fortus 450mc provides unequaled consistency whenit comes to part properties. Tests on the ultimate tensile
strength of ASA material across multiple Fortus 450mc
printers in all areas of the build platform demonstrate avariance of less than 6%. Combined with a 93% print
success rate, you get consistent, repeatable results
coupled with maximum yield.1Unwavering Precision
Along with repeatable print results, the Fortus 450mc
produces parts with a high degree of dimensional
accuracy and precision. This has been demonstrated
by tests performed on multiple printers and numerous
builds over months of print operations.1 When you needreliable print performance that meets your tolerance
specifications, the Fortus 450mc delivers.

Near-Isotropic Parts

Smart-factory integration.

Fortus 450mc parts exhibit more than 80% strength
in the vertical (ZX) plane compared with in-plane (XZ)
performance for certain materials.1 2 This gives you
greater flexibility to orient the part in the build chamber
for optimal print results while achieving more consistentmechanical properties throughout the part.

Companies embracing Industry 4.0 concepts of automation,
on-demand manufacturing and data safeguards need
connected 3D printing solutions that securely integrate with
their smart factory infrastructure.

1 Stratasys 2020 Repeatability and Reliability study for F370, Fortus 450mc and F900 printers.
2 Results are based on tests using ASA material. Test coupons were printed on multipleprinters across the build platen. High-performance thermoplastics like FDM Nylon 12CF andULTEM™ resins provide a lower (approximately 50%) Z-strength in comparison to XZ due tofactors such as carbon fiber alignment and thermal bonding.

Meet industry
demands.
Tackle applications that require tight tolerances, toughness andenvironmental stability as well as specialized properties like V-0
flammability or FST ratings. The Fortus 450mc is also compatible
with GrabCAD Shop™ and other Software Partner solutions tohelp manage the full 3D printing workflow. The Fortus 450mc
uses production-grade thermoplastics to build strong, durable
and dimensionally stable parts suitable for demanding applications
in aerospace, automotive, rail, military, industrial equipment andconsumer products.

Simplify yourfactory workflow.
In order to optimize FDM parts, the Fortus 450mc is inclusive of GrabCAD Print™ (with an optional upgrade toGrabCAD Print Pro™) and Insight™ software. GrabCAD Print offers an advanced 3D slicer software as well as
geometry-targeted tools. This enables you to minimize weight and material without sacrificing part strength.
You can also apply changes directly to inserts, self-supporting holes, and hard infills.
The upgraded version of the standard software, GrabCAD Print Pro, is a comprehensive solution which includes
labeling for traceability, automation, templates, part cost estimation, a sustainability calculator, and automatic model
correct. This is ideal for high-performance end-use parts or prototypes used in process-controlled environments.
With Insight, you can fine-tune part performance and material use for greater cost efficiency. The Fortus 450mc
also features an intuitive touchscreen interface that requires little to no training to navigate.
OpenAM
OpenAM™ software lets users alter print parameters to optimize material capabilities and print results. This allows
you to tailor a material’s performance to meet specific application needs or part properties.
OpenAM works with all three Stratasys material tiers. You can develop your own unique materials or optimize aStratasys Preferred or Stratasys Validated material to meet your specific design requirements.
OpenAM software is accessible through a separately purchased Open Material License (OML).
