Stratasys introduces new 3D printer

The Stratasys J55 is the new 3D printer from Stratasys, which features a patented rotating build platform with a fixed printhead. This is designed to maximise reliability and simplify maintenance. The technology also means greater output from a small footprint. Combined with ProAero filtration technology for odour-free operation, the J55 is ideal for placing anywhere. The J55 combines realism and productivity, including high fidelity and five simultaneously printed materials that enable nearly 500,000 colours, PANTONE Validation, realistic textures and transparency in one printed part. Set-up is easy, and remote monitoring means print jobs can be managed from home.

Helping make the J55 easy for designers, Stratasys is also prioritising simplifying workflow. Fully supported by GrabCAD Print software, the J55 enables a smooth import of common CAD files (e.g. SOLIDWORKS, CATIA, PTC Creo, Siemens NX, Inventor) and the latest 3MF file format, a significant improvement over traditional STL, OBJ, and VRML files. And for the first time, Stratasys is also adding support for 3MF colour workflow with KeyShot 3D rendering software from Luxion Inc., a capability now in beta and planned for late 2020.
