Stratasys launches new version of Fortus 450mc 3D printer
Stratasys Ltd. launched the newest version of its Fortus 450mc 3D printer, marking the 10th anniversary of one of the industry’s most trusted manufacturing solutions. Over the past decade, the Fortus 450mc system has earned its reputation as a reliable, mid-level FDM workhorse, with 92% of installed systems still producing parts.

The Stratasys Fortus 450mc 3D printer.
Designed to meet the demand for durability, precision, and repeatability, the Fortus 450mc printer has proven its value across aerospace, automotive, and other general industrial sectors.
Manufacturers worldwide utilize the system to create high-strength jigs, fixtures, production tooling, and end-use parts, supported with industrial-grade performance and material versatility.
The new Fortus 450mc printer furthers this legacy with bundled upgrades designed to improve application range, productivity, connectivity and security. New features include:
Hardened components to support materials like FDM Nylon 12CF and Antero
An all-materials license for full access to the Fortus 450mc materials portfolio
A one-year license for GrabCAD Streamline Pro and GrabCAD Print Pro
GrabCAD Streamline Pro software provides enterprise-grade cybersecurity capabilities to protect Stratasys printers and the network from cyber threats and business disruptions.
GrabCAD Print Pro license software delivers greater precision, real-time insights, and workflow optimization. It also includes access to fixturemate by trinckle, a new feature that simplifies and automates custom fixture creation.
Additional upgrades expected later this year include support for new glass-filled, fire-resistant material and faster build capabilities for certain materials, further expanding the system’s role as a factory-floor-ready solution.
