J55 Prime

From perfecting products to applying concepts learned in the classroom, the Stratasys J55 Prime can help you realize any number of design ideas with consistent, stable performance that requires zero mechanical calibrations. The J55 offers a rotating print platform for outstanding surface finish and print quality and features multi-material capabilities and material configurations for both industrial and mechanical design.

The J55 Prime goes beyond visual printing by adding tactile and functional capabilities to your in-house design process. From fast concept models to quality high-fidelity prototypes, the office-friends Stratasys J55 Prime gives maximum designer output in an affordable package all while fitting seamlessly into a professional space.

Top 5 Reasons to own the Stratasys J55 Prime 3D Printer:

1. Compact – The J55 Prime features the best-in-class footprint to printing tray ratio on the market, which means less bulk in your office and a better yield with more options.
2. Odor free – Studios, offices and classrooms are not production facilities – and shouldn’t need to be. The smell-free system uses a ProAero Air Extractor to effectively capture and filter out fumes, for a safe and odor-free operation.
3. Ultra-Quiet – The J55 Prime is ultra-quiet, operating under 53 decibels – that’s about the same as a household refrigerator.
4. Cost-Effective – The Stratasys J55 Prime makes transforming your workflow a cinch while offering multi-material prototyping – at an accessible price.
5. Ease of use – Leverage an intuitive, three-step color 3D printing workflow – design, import, and print. Simply import designs using native CAD files or 3MF file formats and send models to the J55 Prime using GrabCAD Print software.

J5 MediJet

The Stratasys J5 MediJet is a medical 3D printer that sets a new standard for healthcare providers and medical device companies by combining multiple applications in one system. With multiple materials and multi-color capabilities, the J5 MediJet enables users to create highly detailed 3D anatomical models and drilling and cutting guides with approved third-party 510k-cleared segmentation software. Guides and models are certified as sterilizable and biocompatible, and the printer is economical and compact enough for small lab spaces. In operation, the J5 MediJet features a patented rotating build platform with a fixed print head. This is designed to maximize reliability and simplify maintenance.

Using the J5 MediJet, you can realize a cost savings of 30% lower cost per part compared to outsourcing along with production time savings with a 30% faster print time than comparable printing solutions. (Compared to six types of anatomical models printed with Formlabs Form3, Projet 3600, Projet 6000, and Mimaki 3DUJ-553)

Top 5 Reasons to own the Stratasys J5 MediJet 3D Printer:

1. Multi-Material, Multicolor, Sterilizable and Biocompatible Capabilities – With multiple materials and multicolor capabilities, you can create brilliantly vivid anatomical models, and drilling and cutting guides.*
2. Efficiency – You can print more models with less handling in a small footprint allowing you to service multiple departments and create more medical models with less handling. Plus, with a lower up-front investment and smaller footprint, MediJet™ is economical and compact enough for small lab spaces.
3. Simplify Your Workflow – Using GrabCAD Print you can design and increase production of highly accurate and detailed medical models with ease. This software automatically corrects files and reduces print time with automatic tray arrangement. And a new feature alerts the user if there has been cross-contamination with a biocompatible material.
4. Improve Point-of-Care and Patient Satisfaction – The use of patient-specific 3D printed medical models for pre-surgical planning improves patient outcomes by reducing complications, decreasing operation time and length of hospital stays.
   Plus, patient understanding, consent and satisfaction have been shown to improve with the use of 3D medical models.
5. Enhance Training and Education Programs – Scale up your product demonstrations when training field staff and physicians on your new medical device by providing models that replicate the disease state your device is intended to treat. If you’re a teaching hospital, print the exact pathology on-demand and train anywhere without cadaver storage requirements or ethical concerns associated with animal models.
