Stratasys Fortus 450mc

Description

This industrial 3D printer can print a range of materials and can build much larger parts than most printers. Being the larger version of the Stratasys Fortus 380mc we already have, it would expand our ability to print more materials and larger parts. It is especially useful for making durable prototypes, jigs, molds, and enclosures.
