FORTUS 360mc System Overview

Designed for users with challenging applications that require greater accuracy, repeatability, and a larger build envelope than the Fortus 200mc.

System Features:  

• Parts are produced within an accuracy of +/- .005 inch or +/- .0015 inch per inch whichever is greater(+/- .127 mm or +/- .0015 mm per mm whichever is greater).*
• Additional capacity for longer unattended builds
  - Standard capacity
        - 14 x 10 x 10 inch (355 x 254 x 254 mm)
        - One build material bay 
        - One support material  bay
  - Large capacity
        - 16 x 14 x 16 inch (406 x 356 x 406 mm)
        - Two build material bays
        - Two support material bays
• Highest resolution and feature detail capability
• Multiple throughput (build speed) options
  -  0.013 and 0.010 inch (0.330 and 0.254 mm) for faster throughput
  -  0.007 and 0.005 inch (0.178 and 0.127 mm) for fine feature detail and smoother surface finish

Unique Properties	Variety of color options	Highest impact resistance	Highest tensile strength

ABS-M30 thermoplastic (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene): 

• Up to 70 percent stronger than standard Stratasys ABS material
• Greater tensile, impact, and flexural strength
• Layer bonding is significantly stronger for a more durable part
• Versatile Material: Good for form, fit and moderate funcational applications

PC-ABS thermoplastic (polycarbonate - acrylonitrile butadiene styrene): 

• Most desirable properties of both PC and ABS materials
• Superior mechanical properties and heat resistance of PC
• Excellent flexibility, feature detail, and surface finish of ABS
• Highest impact strength

PC thermoplastic (polycarbonate): 

• Most widely used industrial thermoplastic
• Accurate, durable, and stable for strong parts
• Superior mechanical properties and heat resistance
• High tensile strength and can handle high temperatures

Support materials:
Soluble supports (used with ABS-M40 and PC-ABS) are simply dissolved in a water based solution, resulting in a part with smooth surface finish and fine details intact. No hand processing is required. Soluble support material is delivered in canister or cartridge form for ease of use and safety in handling. 

BASS breakaway support material (used with PC) is broken away from part.

Material loading:
Base System has two auto load canister bays of 92 cubic inches each, one for the build material and one for the support material. Upgrade system has four auto load canister bays of 92 cubic inches each, two for the build material and two for the support material. Simple and safe loading.
