NASHVILLE, TN, USA, Feb 11, 2020 – Unleashing the power of 3D printed realism to a broader range of product designers and enterprise shops, Stratasys (NASDAQ: SSYS) unveiled the new J826 3D Printer at 3DEXPERIENCE World. At about half the price of other J8-series PolyJet printers, the J826 combines part realism and productivity, including full PANTONE-Validated color and multi-material 3D printing.

Stratasys’ J826 3D Printer

Designed for designers, the J826 makes it possible for enterprise groups to save weeks on design cycles with exceptional print quality to create highly realistic prototypes that help achieve the exact intent of the designer, bringing them to life much faster and increasing quality with more design iterations. The J826 is particularly suited for enterprises with mid-volume modeling requirements in industries such as consumer goods and electronics, automotive, and educational institutions.

Cambridge, UK-based BiologIC Technologies is using the J826 3D Printer to develop advanced medical instrumentation best-described as a ‘desktop PC of life sciences.’ “Our flagship product architecture will be 100% 3D printed using the J826, so it’s no exaggeration to say that it – and indeed our company – is completely and only enabled by this 3D printer,” Co-Founder Nick Rollings said. “For us, the design freedoms delivered by full-color, multi-material 3D printing enables us to accelerate our design process with zero restrictions. This empowers us to create ultra-realistic parts for our prototype using materials that, thanks to their advanced properties, will enable us to fully 3D print our medical instrument and effectively personalize medicine once our product is finalized.”

“On top of that, the fundamental cost and time savings achievable with the J826 make it possible to actually get our ideas off the ground and rapidly progress – there isn’t another technology available today that can tick all these boxes,” Rollings added.

Built as a mid-range full-color 3D printer for enterprise shops, the J826 supports the full design process with same day send-to-print and easy post-processing. It provides the same exceptional resolution and detail as other Stratasys J8-series 3D printers, with models matching the shape, material, color and finish of final products.

“We believe that exceptional resolution, full color, multiple materials, and high productivity should not be the province of the few,” said Shamir Shoham, Vice President, PolyJet Business Unit at Stratasys. “That’s why we extended the power of our world-class J8-series 3D printers to the new J826 – addressing the needs of mid-volume enterprise shops and educational institutions at a lower price.”

The J826 3D Printer leverages the same high-performance PolyJet materials as the J850, meeting the needs of both designers and design engineers. It includes the full range of textures, transparency with VeroUltraClear, and PANTONE™-Validated color1 – offering a universal language of color that ensures reliable, realistic decision-making across every stage of the design process. Fully supported by GrabCAD Print™ software, it enables a smooth import of common CAD formats (e.g. Solidworks).

The J826 3D Printer features a maximum build volume size of 10” x 9.9” x 7.9” (255mm x 252mm x 200mm). Like other J8-series printers, the large, seven-material capacity means operators can load their most frequently used resins and avoid downtime associated with material changeovers. Multiple print modes let users adjust the speed and quality of the print to meet specific needs, from High Quality Mode to High Speed Mode.

Availability

The J826 is expected to be available to order in May 2020. For more information on the power of 3D printed realism for designers and engineers, please visit the J8-series web page.

PARIS, France, Feb 5, 2020 – Lectra announces the latest evolution of Versalis Offline, the new digital leather cutting solution developed for leather furniture manufacturers. Designed to maximize the efficiency of the entire production cycle, Versalis Offline enables manufacturers to optimize their cutting process while improving productivity, nesting efficiency and ergonomics for faster furniture manufacturing.

The new Versalis Offline is modular, opening up the possibility to working in multi-site operations. The same cutting solution can be combined with several digitization stations enabling the production tool to produce faster (up to 20 hides per hour) while increasing hide efficiency by up to 10% compared to a manual process. Consisting of a three step process—digitization of the hides, multi-hide nesting (pattern placement) on the hides and cutting the selected parts—Versalis Offline enables furniture manufacturers to achieve significant gains in flexibility and performance by working on each task in parallel. Thanks to the power of automation, cutting-operators are liberated from time-consuming operations and are free to direct their skills towards more creative and higher-value tasks.

Lectra’s digitization station with infrared cameras and augmented reality allows the operator to identify hide defects virtually, without physically marking them. Manufacturers can digitize hides faster by working with two operators simultaneously and they can gain up to 2% in material savings by making marks as close as possible to the defects.

A new placement station with the latest-generation of computing power enables manufacturers to nest, cut pieces and test multi-piece placement strategies in a minimum of time; improving efficiency by up to 1.2 % compared to a standard hide-by-hide placement embedded in other Versalis configurations.

The new Versalis Offline cutting solution is now available with one head for cutting large parts or with two heads for more productivity on small and medium parts. The solution is more compact compared to the previous version (3.2m vs 4.2m) to easily fit in facilities that have space constraints. Video projection supports hide repositioning technology to achieve complex and custom cutting orders. In addition, it provides offloading assistance of the cut parts for greater ergonomic comfort and improvements in operator productivity by limiting sorting errors during offloading.

“Industrial Internet of Things offers to boost production speed by connecting cutting room solutions to the IT environment. We are happy to be able to offer these advanced integration capabilities with the new Versalis Offline. Not only will Versalis Offline help increase workforce productivity but its modular options also enables for greater operational flexibility and lower production costs, ensuring a very fast return on investment,” explains Céline Choussy, Chief Marketing and Communications Officer, Lectra.
