Accommodates two Xtend™ 250 Fortus Plus spools for 500 cubic inches of material.

Effective Drying Solution

Uses a combination of heat and dry air to reduce moisture, ensuring optimal filament quality and minimizing failed prints.

Touchscreen UI Controller

Simple interface with temperature and dew point readouts.

Compact, Mobile Cabinet

Space-efficient design fits within standard 450mc site prep spacing and includes swivel casters for easy mobility.

Material Compatibility

Supports ULTEM™ 9085 (black and natural) and FDM® Nylon 12CF.

Production Parts & Tooling

3D printing with the Fortus 450mc machine can boost sales and decrease costs and lead time because there is no minimum quantity requirement. Also, part complexity doesn’t increase time or cost. This means production can begin as soon as the CAD files are sent to the 3D printer.

The Fortus systems provide a fast and accurate means of producing tooling. The efficiency of the FDM 3D Printing process makes it practical to optimize tooling design.

Easy to operate & safe to use

Fortus 3D Production Systems are easier to operate and maintain compared to other additive fabrication systems. This is because there are no messy powders to handle and contain. They’re so simple that you can train an operator to operate a Fortus system in less than 30 minutes.

You can install a Fortus 3D Production System just about anywhere. Fortus systems produce no noxious fumes, chemicals or waste, so you do not need special venting.
