Objective3D Expands Additive Manufacturing Applications with Stratasys Systems, Software and Materials

Stratasys ANZ Platinum Partner, Objective3D has introduced new 3D printing systems, software and materials that open up countless new applications to transform global manufacturing.

First, Objective3D announced the introduction of 16 new Stratasys materials across three additive manufacturing technologies – FDM®, SAF™ and Origin® One. The new materials include the first Stratasys Validated materials for FDM 3D printers, several open, exploratory materials for the P3-based (DLP) Origin One 3D printer that can be used with an Open Material License, and polypropylene material for the H350™ 3D printer powered by SAF technology (powder-based production).

Second, Objective3D introduced two new Stratasys composite-ready 3D printers to the company’s F123 Series™ of printers - the F190™CR and the F370™CR. These new printers are designed for manufacturers and industrial machinists to supplement traditional fabrication technologies with high-strength composite 3D printing. In addition to the two new 3D printers, Objective3D also introduced Stratasys FDM Nylon-CF10, a new composite material for the F123 Series printers that are over 60% stronger and nearly three times as stiff as its base nylon material.

Finally, Objective3D announced the availability of GrabCAD Print™ for the Stratasys Origin One and Origin One Dental 3D printers. Part of the GrabCAD Additive Manufacturing Platform, GrabCAD Print software provides users with a streamlined 3D workflow for print build file preparation and post-print analysis. Objective3D also introduced Stratasys Origin One Local and integration with ProAero.

These introductions reflect the growing momentum around the application of 3D printing for manufacturing here in Australia and New Zealand. All these new technologies are now available directly from Objective3D for purchase. Alternatively, if 3D Printing services are a preferred option, these new technologies and materials are available from the Objective3D service bureau.

As the leading additive manufacturing solutions provider here in ANZ, Objective3D is also doing its part to grow polymer additive manufacturing, with five leading 3D printing technologies, a broad and rapidly growing material ecosystem, and an open software platform to scale up, all applied to tailored solutions for customers.

Delivering High Quantities of Prototypes Fast

Objective3D Direct Manufacturing produces parts using a range of additive and conventional manufacturing technologies. We offer tailored solutions for your project’s needs. If your project requires larger quantities of small parts – fast, Laser Sintering is the best technological solution for you. Per-part pricing is reduced as quantities increase, but there are more advantages to using Laser Sintering for small prototypes than price alone. Laser Sintering (LS) provides strong, versatile and geometrically intricate components made from filled and un-filled nylon materials that are ideal for fit and form verification and functional testing. Prototypes made with LS are created quickly and offer robust solutions for your project. FAST Delivery Laser Sintering can provide sturdy, functional prototypes as little as 24 hours. Multi-component designs can be incorporated into single structures, allowing engineers to produce complex features and geometries in one print, and elim

How Artec Space Spider helps measure the shape-shifting of birds in response to climate change.

Challenge: In the past century, researchers have been studying a variety of birds in Australia to see how their bodies have changed as a result of global warming in order to determine how to adjust. In order to document the exact dimensions of thousands of beaks of 86 different species of birds in museums in a fast, accurate, and convenient manner, they needed a fast, accurate, and convenient method. Solution: Artec Space Spider, Artec Studio Results: By using the handheld 3D scanner Artec Space Spider, each bird can be scanned in submillimeter colour 3D in approximately two minutes. This makes it easy to scan anywhere from 30-50 birds in one museum visit. Scan processing takes just under six minutes for each bird.

3D scanning and reverse engineering streamline original furniture design and production

MU Form Furniture Design is an Oakland-based company that designs, manufactures and distributes furniture products for the modern home and business. The company is never short of orders since good and original design is sought after by architects and interior designers. The main material MU Form works with is high-quality bent ply, which is one of the most widely used materials in this industry due to its ability to create a variety of shapes for chairs, stools, and tables. The company’s specialists seek to create great designs that pose a challenge for other manufacturers to copy or replicate.

To produce a new original piece of furniture, MU Form would normally ship a physical prototype model to a factory
