With Fortus 3D Production Systems, you'll have the best additive manufacturing machines at your fingertips. Powered by Stratasys FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) Technology, these highly versatile manufacturing systems streamline product design through fabrication. From your office to the factory floor, Fortus offers efficient solutions for your business.

Manufacturing

Fortus 3D Production Systems, powered by FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) Technology, frees you from traditional design and manufacturing limitations. You can produce manufacturing tools and put them into service just hours after your design is complete.

Create Jigs, Fixtures & Assembly Aids Faster

Manufacturing tools produced with Fortus 3D Production Systems free you to design more ergonomic tools, meet the functional needs of assemblers, and satisfy all the requirements of your inspection process. Compared to machined manufacturing tools, Fortus requires fewer steps, less effort and reduced resources.

Low-volume Production Made Easy

Instead of machining parts or cutting a tool for molding, Direct Digital Manufacturing (DDM) is a cost-effective and simpler alternative for manufacturing smaller quantities of finished goods. Fortus 3D Production Systems use engineering-grade thermoplastics to build accurate, durable parts that match the strength of injection molded parts.

Reduce Time

  • No waiting for machining or tooling
  • On-the-fly design changes can be made during production cycles
  • Leverage just-in-time inventory

Reduce Cost

  • No machining or tooling costs
  • Realize ROI after just a few projects
  • Components can be made as needed, reducing inventory

Eliminate tooling in short-run production with Fortus 3D Production Systems. You can create tough parts suitable for finished goods or test your designs to better predict end product performance.

The FDM Process

1) Pre-Process.

Stratasys software prepares your 3D CAD data for the FDM build process.

2) Manufacture Part.

Thermoplastic build and support material is
precisely deposited layer-by-layer, forming
your part.

3) Remove Supports.

Support material is easily removed in a hands-free, water-based tank, or break it away by hand.
