Stratasys Adds High-Definition Printing to its Lineup

Finer detail and enhanced precision are coming to Stratasys’ SAF (selective absorption fusion) technology, the company reports. Stratasys announces its new SAF HighDef Printing capabilities and the launch of the H350 printer, Version 1.5 (V.1.5) to expand SAF adoption with more applications and use cases for manufacturing end markets.

Stratasys’ HighDef Printing capabilities are designed to enable more exact, high-definition printing with detailed resolution, according to the company. This gives manufacturers ability to scale their additive manufacturing through repeatability, while creating more intricate parts and expanding design capabilities. 

“High-definition printing enables tighter tolerances, moving assemblies and a new range of applications for SAF customers,” says Adam Ellis, corporate applications manager, Stratasys. “Bringing HighDef to our customers will help us expand and improve their capabilities and increase their adoption of 3D printing in manufacturing roles.”

Delivered as part of a firmware update, Stratasys’ HighDef Printing will be backwards compatible with previous H350 models and made available to customers at no additional cost.

The New H350

Stratasys is introducing the H350 V1.5 printer. This new printer has improved sensors and remote service capabilities, making the printer easier to operate and service. The H350 V1.5 will also come with the new Stratasys HighDef Printing firmware update.

“The new capabilities and the upgraded H350 align with the performance needs that our customers indicated to us, that will allow them to further benefit from additive manufacturing and SAF technology in particular,” says Torben Lange, vice president, SAF Research & Development, Stratasys. “New applications and use cases will allow manufacturers to scale their production, with more intricate parts, without compromising speed or quality.”
