Now Stratasys is introducing a new, hands-free soluble support material that promises to make the cleaning and processing of 3D printed models, in particular those requiring support materials, fast and easy. SUP706 was developed for PolyJet triple-jetting 3D printers such as the Objet 260 and Objet 350/500 series. It reduces post-printing processing down to a two-step, automated soak and rinse process. This is great news for all users of PolyJet printers, but it’s especially exciting for businesses, who can lose crucial time and productivity through difficult, time consuming post-printing work.
“The development of SUP706 provides a great combination of advantages for 3D printing users,” said David Tulipman, director of product management for PolyJet consumables at Stratasys. “Owners of PolyJet-based 3D printers can now print small, intricate features with greater reassurance, and clean several parts at once, enabling high volume 3D printing that’s both cost-effective and hassle-free.”
SUP706 is available as a software update on all Stratasys PolyJet Triple-Jetting 3D Printers, and is compatible with all PolyJet materials, with the exception of hearing aid material. So, PolyJet users, stop worrying about the extra work involved in your more complex print jobs. The next time you print something requiring a lot of support, rest assured that Stratasys is there to support you.
