SYS Systems says that visitors to TCT 3Sixty earlier this month could witness the power of Stratasys 3D printing solutions after it showcased two of its latest products and more than 100 different components – including a 3D printed Mars Bar and a human heart. The company, which is part of the Carfulan Group, shone the spotlight on the J55 Prime desktop 3D printer and the F370 CR carbon-fibre 3D printer. There were also hundreds of 3D printed parts of varying sizes, complexities, finishes and end-use applications for visitors to explore.

“We’re passionate about driving the potential of 3D printing to continue pushing the boundaries of design and innovation across a range of industries and applications,” explains Rob Thompson, group sales director of Carfulan Group.“The best way of showcasing the capabilities of the Stratasys technology is to let people get up close and personal with the multitude of products we can make on our machines. This opens eyes to what is possible and stimulates conversations around cost savings, component strength, speed and how additive manufacturing can now make production-ready components in low to medium volumes.”

The Stratasys J55 Prime allows companies to go beyond visual printing by adding tactile, functional and sensory capabilities to the in-house design process. Its small footprint means facilitates easy installation in design and engineering offices.

Joining this compact technology on SYS Systems stand was the F370 CR, which is engineered to create high quality parts, from superior materials, which have a high-tensile strength and are chemical and heat resistant. The carbon-ready model can also make 3D prints in chopped carbon fibre for best-in-class components.
