Continental AG’s Additive Design and Manufacturing (ADaM) Competence Centre is now home to an industrial-grade FDM-based Stratasys Fortus 450mc 3D printer.

The Fortus 450mc manufactures final production parts, prototypes and – most notably – jigs and fixtures for the company’s own production line machinery.

Stefan Kammann, head of samples and mechanical solutions, Continental Engineering Services, says: “The Fortus 450mc is a great addition to our portfolio, as it enables the team to access highly specialised materials that allow us to meet the requirements of demanding production applications on the factory floor. In fact, it’s the only 3D printer we have that is capable of creating ESD-compliant production parts in very little time.”
