Configurable, Large-Scale 3D Printer

May 3, 2019
Backed by a strategic alliance with DSM, Stratasys' stereolithography 3D printer is powered by multiple years of proven runtime and verified materials.

Set to disrupt traditional 3D printing, the V650 Flex stereolithography 3D printer is a unique offering that combines the power of a large-scale system with a configurable environment for fine-tuning across a broad range of resins – giving customers greater accuracy, choice, and lower costs in 3D printed prototype and part development.

 

Backed by a partnership with DSM, a global, purpose-led, science-based company in Nutrition, Health, and Sustainable Living, customers have the freedom to capitalize on the quality and high-performance of Somos® stereolithography resins with the V650 Flex 3D printer. DSM Somos-verified resins enable customers to produce high-quality, durable parts that meet the requirements of a wide range of applications.

 

With a build volume of 20 W x 20 D x 23 in. H and interchangeable vats, the printer has reliability built-in, with a runtime of over 75,000 hours and more than 150,000 parts produced inside Stratasys Direct Manufacturing. The V650 Flex puts the power of verified resins and a configurable system to work – producing extremely durable, highly complex and accurate parts.

 

The open vat configuration of the stereolithography printer comes with recipes for DSM Somos resins commercially available directly from Stratasys – including:

  • Somos Element: The antimony-free stereolithography resin, specifically designed for producing strong, stable investment casting patterns with fine-feature detail and very low residual burnout ash. 
  • Somos NeXt: The resin that provides the accuracy of stereolithography with the look, feel and performance of a thermoplastic.
  • Somos PerFORM: The material-of-choice for applications that require strong, stiff, high-temperature resistant parts, such as tooling and wind tunnel testing.
  • Somos Watershed XC 11122: A clear solution for designers looking for ABS and PBT-like properties for stereolithography – producing highly detailed, dimensionally stable, optically-clear parts with water resistance.
