Additive series production
Automated post-processing system
Stratasys recently presented the "P3 Automated Production Cell" demonstration project.
It was developed to automate the transportation of parts between multiple 3D printers and post-processing facilities for cleaning, drying and curing. The aim is to significantly reduce the amount of work involved in scaling up 3D printing in factories.
With the goal of enabling manufacturing customers to realize new applications with demanding requirements faster and more efficiently, Stratasys has also further expanded its materials ecosystem through new partnerships and third-party material options. Materials on display include materials for the Stratasys 3D printers based on five different 3D printing technologies: Stereolithography, SAF, FDM, P3 and PolyJet. These include materials provided by partners such as Arkema/Kimya, Victrex plc and Covestro.
