In a previous blog, I explained how to maintain a Stratasys Objet 3D printer and the importance of keeping your machines running smoothly. Regardless of which printer you have, there are certain levels of upkeep required. In this blog, we outline how to maintain a Stratasys FDM 3D printer.

Stratasys Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printers are known for their ability to stand up to many hours of build time without hands-on maintenance for weeks or months at a time. But even the best 3D printers experience issues from time to time, especially ones as common as a clogged tip and loss of extrusion. In this blog, we outline how to fix 3D printer loss of extrusion (LOS), so you can quickly be on your way to resuming your normal production schedule.

Stratasys 3D printers support a wide range of additive manufacturing applications. PolyJet and FDM technology offer game-changing solutions from rapid prototyping to manufacturing tools and production parts to finishing processes. This blog provides an overview of popular 3D printing applications and what to know about composite tooling with FDM technology.

In part 1 of our two-part International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) blog, we explored the Robotic Composite 3D Demonstrator introduced at last year's event. But the multi-axis additive manufacturing robot wasn't the only technology that took crowds by storm. In part 2 of our blog series, we dive into the Infinite Build 3D Demonstrator and what this system has to offer the manufacturing technology industry.

With the Easter holiday around the corner, we wanted to get into the Spring spirit. So for this week's “Make Your Own Solution” blog, I decided to 3D print chocolate bunny molds using a Stratasys Objet30 Pro.

At last year's International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) in Chicago, attendees got a glimpse of several of the most innovative, emerging technologies. Out of 2,407 exhibitors, Stratasys caught all eyes and ears with the Robotic Composite 3D Demonstrator and Infinite Build 3D Demonstrator. In part 1 of our two-part blog, we explore what the 3D printing robot has to offer the manufacturing technology industry.

March was an exciting month for the 3D printing and CAD communities! Check out some of our favorite news highlights from this month.

If you’re a PolyJet user, there is a good chance you’ve experienced under-cured or over-cured parts at least once—especially if the UV Calibration Wizard hasn’t been run in a while. In this blog, I’ll explain the effects of a poor UV calibration (low and high) and how to avoid running into these problems.

Stratasys' PolyJet 3D printing technology is widely known for combining color and providing extreme levels of detail and realism. But what if we told you FDM materials are getting more advanced and can also provide visual appeal? In our blog, we explain how to change FDM material color and achieve that finished product appearance.

Metal 3D printing seems to be the next big thing in additive manufacturing. While it’s been around for awhile, the process is still notoriously known as an expensive choice. So companies are looking for more affordable alternatives.

We are excited to announce the winner of our TriMech Sponsored Giveaway!

At SOLIDWORKS World 2017, TriMech sponsored a giveaway in honor of the new Stratasys F123 Series product launch. Participants gathered at the Stratasys booth to view the new F370 FDM printer and entered to win a TriMech gift basket that included a $50 Amazon giftcard. TriMech randomly selected one winner, who we are happy to announce is Philip Cathell from Orbital ATK.

A clean 3D printer is a healthy 3D printer. To obtain the greatest accuracy and increase the longevity of your machines, it is important to keep them running smoothly. In this blog, we break down how to maintain a Stratasys Objet 3D Printer.
