Smart Molding International 3-2021

10 newsfeed smart_molding international 3/2021 Stratasys Ltd. (NASDAQ: SSYS) has recently intro - duced a medical 3D printer that sets a new standard for healthcare providers and medical device companies by combining multiple ap - plications in one system. With multiple materials and multi-color capabilities, the Stratasys J5 MediJet™ 3D printer enables users to create highly detailed 3D anatomical models and drill - ing and cutting guides with approved third-party 510k- cleared segmentation soft - ware. Guides and models are certified as sterilizable and biocompatible, and the printer is economical and compact enough for small lab spaces. The J5 MediJet 3D printer is the newest addition to the Stratasys J5 Series™ of printers, along with the J5 DentaJet™ and J55™. In op - eration, it features a patent - ed rotating build platform with a fixed print head. This is designed to maximize re - liability and simplify main - tenance. The system also delivers more output from a small footprint. Com - pared to other 3D printers, the MediJet 3D printer is up to 30 percent faster, along with a simple workflow that includes automatic build tray arrangement, correc - tions and support for the latest 3MF file format for simplifying connectivity to third-party segmentation and design software. The new printer supports DraftWhite™ material for af - fordable single-material ap - plications, along with a full array of new flexible, rigid color, and transparent ma - terials. The multi-materials capabilities support a broad range of medical modeling applications in one office- friendly platform, which reduces outsourcing costs or the need for multiple printers. “For small to midsized hospitals, we’re enabling access to models and guides with a medical-specific 3D printer that is office- friendly and affordable, while ensuring sterilization is easy so you can bring models right into the oper - ating room with you,” said Stratasys’ Healthcare Vice President Osnat Philipp. “We also believe the J5 MediJet printer can help medical device companies bring new innovations to market faster by providing models for benchmark test - ing of medical devices and for product demonstrations with models showing the actual pathologies the de - vices are meant to treat.” All on a certified system The J5 MediJet printer is certified with leading 510K- cleared DICOM segmenta - tion software packages for clinical diagnostic use. Ad - ditionally, it can print bio - compatible materials that are certified for limited contact to tissue and bone, and permanent contact to intact skin (ISO 10993) and for breathing gas pathways in healthcare applications (ISO 18562). MediJet mod - els can also be sterilized using Steam, Gamma and EtO methods specific to the print material. The J5 MediJet material and hardware manufactur - ing sites have received ISO 13485 certification for the design and manufacture of medical devices. Stratasys is leading the global shift to additive manufacturing with in - novative 3D printing solu - tions for industries such as aerospace, automotive, consumer products and healthcare. Through smart and connected 3D printers, polymer materials, a soft - ware ecosystem, and parts on demand, Stratasys solu - tions deliver competitive advantages at every stage in the product value chain. The world’s leading organi - zations turn to Stratasys to transform product design, bring agility to manufactur - ing and supply chains, and improve patient care.
