Stratasys FDM technology uses durable thermoplastics to produce functional prototypes, tooling, and end-use parts. While the Stratasys F900 is a large-format FDM 3D printer offering a broad range of materials and reliable, repeatable production for manufacturing applications, the Fortus 450mc is an industrial FDM 3D Printer known for its speed, performance, and accuracy in a variety of applications.
Stratasys OpenAM is a software application that allows users to customize and tune print settings on Stratasys FDM 3D Printers like the Fortus 450mc and the F900. It provides advanced control over parameters such as liquefier temperature, oven temperature, bead mode, and more. This enables the use of a wider range of materials beyond Stratasys' preferred options, including open market and newly developed proprietary formulas.
The Stratasys OpenAM software provides users with extensive control and customization capabilities to optimize their 3D printing workflows. With OpenAM, you can create custom material profiles, copy and modify existing ones, and configure any print setting to achieve the desired part characteristics. Beyond just Stratasys' standard materials, OpenAM also grants access to the Origin open material library. This allows you to expand the range of compatible materials you can print with on Stratasys FDM 3D Printers, unlocking new possibilities for your applications. The ability to fine-tune parameters and leverage a broader material selection empowers users to push the boundaries of what is achievable with Stratasys 3D printing technology.
Key features of OpenAM include:
By expanding material options and providing more granular control over the printing process, Stratasys OpenAM empowers users to push the boundaries of FDM 3D printing and develop new applications.
