New 3D Printer Features Affordable, Hi-Tech Digital Prototyping

Hagerman has introduced a new 3D printer to its product offering.  The new Fortus 250mc is likely one of the most affordable 3D printers on the market today.  It also uses what is referred to as FDM or Fused Deposition Modeling, which combines tough production grade thermoplastic materials with state of the art hardware and software.  The material is claimed to be up to 300% stronger than those made from other 3D printers.  Fortus also includes powerful “Insight” software that will turn your CAD Files into accurate, stable and durable prototypes.  No need to send your file out and wait days or weeks for a prototype.  The printers plug in to your current network and engineers or designers can send their 3D Models to these just as they would to your other document printers.
