Design 2020 Program Helps Korean Students Reimagine Products with 3D Printing

Today’s design students will be tomorrow’s engineers. To help prepare them for their future challenges, Silicon Valley-based Innodesign, Stratasys and Dassault Systèmes recently partnered on the Design 2020 program. Design 2020 offered 20 Korean designers in their 20s a chance to become fully proficient in 3D design. Covering everything from industrial design and CAD rendering to 3D printing, the program gave 20 university students and local designers the opportunity to learn both theory and gain first-hand experience with the goal of conceptualizing their designs and exhibiting them publicly.  

Simulate Functional Metal Parts with FDM Nylon 12CF 3D Printing Material

The first of a new Stratasys material category in ‘reinforced composites,’ FDM Nylon 12CF is a high performance composite material providing the highest tensile strength, flexural strength and best stiffness-to-weight ratio of any FDM thermoplastic in the Stratasys offering.   It is made from Nylon 12 resin and 35% (by weight) chopped carbon fibers.   It can be used to effectively simulate composite Nylon and metal in prototyping, tooling and end-use parts.   FDM Nylon 12CF is available on the Fortus 450mc™ 3D Production System and is compatible with SR-110™ support material.  

New Agilus30 Rubber-like 3D Printing Material Produces More Realistic Prototypes

The new Agilus30 rubber-like material family from Stratasys provides new levels of tear resistance, elongation at break and tensile strength, making it ideal for prototyping delicate designs or parts that undergo repeated flexing and bending.   The material also features an improved surface texture that’s easier to clean and feels more like rubber. Because its PolyJet technology, you can also create a whole range of Digital Materials with varying Shore A values, shades and colors.   Agilus30 is available in black and translucent.  

Toy State International Creates Drone Prototypes with Stratasys F370 3D Printer

Designers at Hong Kong-based toy manufacturer Toy State International found a way to utilize 3D printing in ways that were beneficial and supportive to their business needs.   Prior to using an FDM 3D printer, Toy State would outsource their functional prototyping projects, leading to a much lengthier time to market for products developed by the company. But with the F370 incorporated into the design and verification process, the team is now empowered to be more responsive to projects in a collaborative environment. It is seen in their recent project to create a drone that is strong and stable enough…

Siemens Replaces German Train Parts On Demand with Stratasys FDM 3D Printing (Eng sub)
