Fortus 3D Production Systems use Stratasys FDM® (fused deposition modeling) technology and real engineering thermoplastics to build the most accurate, durable parts of any additive fabrication system. Directly from CAD files. FDM produces parts that are tough enough to be used for conceptual models, functional prototypes, manufacturing tools, and end-use parts.

CAD file to part in just three steps.

Stratasys FDM systems enables you to manufacture real parts in just three steps, unlike some competitive processes, that have up to 16 steps. Just load your file, manufacture your part and remove the support material.

• Pre-Process - Load the part’s STL file (CAD data) in Insight file processing software.
• Manufacture Parts - System builds part in thermoplastic material one layer at a time on precise paths.
• Remove Supports - Remove temporary support structures in a hands-free soluble support tank.

While competitors simulate thermoplastics using powders and resins, models and parts produced using FDM are produced from real thermoplastic materials and as a result are much more versatile. They can be sanded, painted, drilled, coated, sealed, bolted, and drilled.
