Stratasys will expand its WaterWorks soluble support material to be compatible with its polycarbonate build material (PC-10) for Fortus 3D Production Systems. WaterWorks soluble support material was available exclusively for the company’s ABS-based material formulations.
The soluble support material – SR-100 – allows automated, hands-free removal, resulting in more efficient prototype and part production. SR-100 soluble support material will also enable a finer layer thickness. By combining PC-10 build material with SR-100, users can now produce parts in 0.005 in. (0.127mm) layers, for finer feature detail and smoother surface finish. This layer thickness setting was previously unavailable for PC-10.
The soluble support material eliminates the process of manual removal with hand tools. The dissolved support material is washed away in a solution of heated-water and cleaning agent. It can take as little as 30-120 minutes to dissolve an SR-100 support structure in an agitation or ultrasonic tank.
The SR-100 soluble support material will be available for the Fortus 360mc, Fortus 400mc, Fortus 900mc, Fortus eV and Fortus eT systems. SR-100 is expected to ship in Q1 2012.

Tekpro Offers Triform Sheet Hydroforming
Fontana, CA, December 10, 2011
Tekpro Group, Inc. has partnered with KOMT to provide Triform Sheet Hydroforming products in Southern CA, Southern NV and Hawaii.
Triform presses have been engineered using the latest technology. Modern design software, state-of-the-art hydraulics, and computer-driven controls provide the user with tremendous capability in an easy-to-operate package. The resulting hydroforming presses are offered in both Fluid Cell and Deep Draw configurations for use in a wide range of industries - aerospace, lighting, automotive, medical devices and more. Triform presses offer precision forming of a wide range of materials, with tooling cost savings of up to 90% through the elimination of mating dies.
About Tekpro Group (www.tekprogroup.com)
Tekpro Group, Inc., established in 2002, provides RP and Manufacturing Systems to discrete manufacturing companies and product development companies in Southern California, Southern Nevada and Hawaii. The company’s focus is on slashing product development and manufacturing time by providing additive manufacturing systems manufactured by Stratasys, Inc. and Triform Sheet Hydroforming Systems from KOMT.
The company offers the full line of Stratasys products from the uPrint SE Personal 3D Printer, to the workhorse Fortus 900mc 3D Production System, that offers a wide variety of thermoplastics, and is able to build parts up to 36 x 24 x 36 inches. Triform Sheet Hydroform presses are offered in both fluid cell and deep draw designs. Standard models are available with sizes up to 24 x 48 inches, with custom sizes available.

uPrint SE and uPrint SE Plus Print Packs Available
The uPrint SE 3D Print Pack and the uPrint SE Plus 3D Print Pack are complete 3D-printing packages that include the 3D printer and everything needed to print 3D models. Besides the printer, the 3D Print Packs include startup supplies, a support-removal system, and cleaning agent. Monthly lease packages are USD $290 for uPrint SE and USD $380 for uPrint SE Plus. The monthly lease price is lower than the average cost of a single outsourced model.
Non-lease Print Pack purchase prices are USD $15,900 for the uPrint SE and USD $20,900 for the uPrint SE Plus.
“With the bundled package, engineers, designers, teachers and others can purchase a complete professional 3D-printing system," says Stratasys Product Manager Mary Stanley. “This makes it as simple as possible to purchase and get your machine up and running with no surprises.”
The uPrint SE and SE Plus machines replace the original uPrint and uPrint Plus. The new machines are available without the bundled package, and they are priced at USD $13,900 and $18,900 respectively.
The new uPrint special edition machines offer a substantially increased material capacity, with 40 percent more material per spool than the original uPrint series. Material spools contain 42 cubic inches of material instead of the 30 cubic inches previously available. This allows longer unattended print runs than previously possible and requires less frequent spool change.
Both 3D printers use SR-30 soluble support material, which enables faster support removal and therefore faster part production than previously possible. The material dissolves up to 50 percent faster than the previous support material in an agitation tank.
