From functional prototypes with exacting tolerances, to manufacturing tools that perform under pressure, the Fortus 380mc and 450mc 3D Production Systems set a high bar for speed, performance and accuracy.
Production-grade thermoplastics
Build with many of the same standard, engineering-grade and high-performance thermoplastics you use in traditional manufacturing processes.
Speed and efficiency
Produce complex, high-requirement parts faster than ever. Plus, get up to two weeks of unattended build time with high-capacity material options available on the 450mc.
Flexibility and control
Embed hardware or circuitry, fine-tune part performance, optimize build speed or achieve a smoother finish. Custom tool paths and other advanced features of Insight software give you ultimate control over your build parameters.
No special facility requirements
Install Fortus Systems virtually anywhere. No special venting is required because Fortus systems produce no noxious fumes, chemicals or waste with most materials.
Easy to operate and maintain
Quickly teach anyone how to load materials, replace build trays and use the simple touch-screen interface. Operation is intuitive and requires no special skills.

These materials work with Fortus 450mc:
Materials:
Fortus 380mc and 450mc:
Fortus 450mc only:
Build envelope options:
Fortus 380mc: 355 x 305 x 305 mm (14 x 12 x 12 in.)
Fortus 450mc: 406 x 355 x 406 mm (16 x 14 x 16 in.)
Material delivery options:
Fortus 380mc: One bay each for material and support canisters
Fortus 450mc: Two bays each for material and support canisters
For maximum material capacity on the Fortus 450mc, Xtend 500 Fortus Plus material boxes are available for ABS-M30 (ivory and black), PC (polycarbonate) and their support materials. Each box contains 500 cubic inches (8194 cubic centimeters) of thermoplastic, so the 450mc can run nonstop for over two weeks without changing material.
