SYS Systems experts to blaze a trail on 3D printing at TCT 2017

Staff from SYS Systems, a Stratasys platinum partner and part of the Foston-based Carfulan Group, will exhibit at the TCT Show at the NEC in Birmingham from September 26-28, performing live demonstrations using the latest 3D printing innovations.

Among the 3D printed models on display will be a Herman Miller prototype Keyn four-legged chair, created using the Stratasys Fortus 3D printer, and showcased alongside the company’s finished product, which has been rapidly perfected since it implemented this Stratasys prototyping technology into its development process.

The star of the three-day show will be SYS Systems’ new FDM F123 series, which was launched earlier this year and comprises three advanced compact 3D printers that use Stratasys-pioneered Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) technology to enable manufacturers to create prototypes on-site.

FDM is the only professional 3D printing technology to use production-grade thermoplastics, meaning printed parts are ready for end use due to their unrivalled mechanical, thermal and chemical strength.

Rob Thompson, SYS Systems’ sales manager, said: “The TCT Show is the biggest 3D printing show of its kind in the UK and is a fantastic opportunity to see some of our most innovative Stratasys machines in action.

“We’d encourage people to visit our stand and talk to our experts. We’re confident that people will be amazed at the technology on display and even more impressed by its potential to improve their own business operations. You can even challenge us to solve your most complex 3D printing challenges – our technological expertise is second to none in providing solutions.”

Also on display will be the Fortus 450mc machine, alongside a selection of PolyJet systems such as the Objet500 Connex3 and the Objet30 Pro.

The advanced triple-jet Objet500 Connex3 has the ability to incorporate dozens of colours into one detailed prototype, building anything from vivid opaque to stained glass-like translucent models, with hundreds of blended hue variations.

The Objet30 Pro, meanwhile, is ideal for consumer goods prototyping with the accuracy and versatility of a high-end rapid prototyping machine, but in desktop size. Its offering includes a choice of eight various 3D printing materials, including clear, high-temperature and simulated polypropylene. It features optimum print resolution to create realistic models quickly and easily in-house.
