Unleashing the power of 3D printed realism to a broader range of product designers and enterprise shops, Stratasys  unveiled the new J826™ 3D Printer at 3DEXPERIENCE World today. At about half the price of other J8-series PolyJet™ printers, the J826 combines part realism and productivity, including full PANTONE™-Validated color and multi-material 3D printing. Designed for designers, the J826 makes it possible for enterprise groups to save weeks on design cycles with exceptional print quality to create highly realistic prototypes that help achieve the exact intent of the designer, bringing them to life much faster and increasing quality with more design iterations. The J826 is particularly suited for enterprises with mid-volume modeling requirements in industries such as consumer goods and electronics, automotive, and educational institutions. Cambridge, UK-based BiologIC Technologies is using the J826 3D Printer to develop advanced medical instrumentation best-described as a ‘desktop PC of life sciences.’ “Our flagship product architecture

3D Systems is transforming customers’ digital design and manufacturing environments and putting software at the core of its strategy. Today, the company unveiled its latest software solution – 3DXpert® for SOLIDWORKS 15 – which empowers SOLIDWORKS customers to easily prepare and optimize their designs for additive manufacturing, allowing them to design complex structures and accelerate the product design life-cycle with better automation and seamless bi-directional data exchange from and to SOLIDWORKS. These enhancements help provide an accelerated path to design freedom, increased efficiency, reduced total cost of operation, and gain competitive advantage for a range of applications and industries. The growth of additive manufacturing is contingent on optimizing digital workflows and that begins with reimagining how software supports the process and corrects the core issues that pose significant challenges for designers. Until now, the design toolset available has been oriented for traditional manufacturing techniques, which has created barriers to digital manufacturing workflow optimization.
