Fortus 450mc

Industrial FDM 3D Printer
Harness the speed, cost, and material advantages of industrial FDM additive manufacturing. The Fortus 450mc delivers accurate, reliable performance that lets you transform supply chains, accelerate manufacturing, and reduce production costs. Its proven reliability and extensive suite of capable thermoplastics make it a trusted 3D printing solution for manufacturers in the aerospace, automotive, rail, oil and gas, medical, and commercial products industries.

The Fortus 450mc is available as an open system when used with an OpenAM material license and associated software. This option lets you edit print parameters to adjust print results as needed to optimize material performance for your specific application. Coupled with this capability is the availability to expand the printer’s material selection with Validated Materials, which are additional materials developed with third-party suppliers to increase material availability and widen the scope of applications.
