One of my favorite aspects of the Formlabs Fuse 1+ 30W SLS 3D printer is the design freedom that comes from using loose powder as a natural support structure. But once I’ve excavated my parts from a finished build, I’m left with a crucial question: what do I do with all the unsintered powder? Formlabs has designed the Fuse 1+ 30W to work with a mixture of fresh and reclaimed powder.
When running Stratasys FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) 3D printers — especially in professional industrial environments — efficient post-processing is essential for achieving clean, accurate, and repeatable parts. One of the greatest advantages of Stratasys 3D printers is their ability to print with Soluble Support materials such as SR-30, SR-35, SR-100, SR-110, and QSR, allowing for a hands-free cleaning process. To this end, the Oryx sca1200ht is one of the simplest and most user-friendly tools available for FDM post-processing.
User groups are a powerful feature of the engineering community. Everything from professional engineering groups to program-specific groups, like the SOLIDWORKS User Group network, exists to give engineers the opportunity to network, learn, and share experiences with like-minded individuals.
GrabCAD Streamline Pro supercharges the operation of Stratasys 3D printing environments by simplifying the management of single machines to large, complex fleets. While not strictly required to run your printers, it is a platform I’ve come to rely on to keep operations flowing smoothly. It’s particularly helpful when managing high print volumes, multiple materials, tight schedules, and access controls, all from a unified, cloud-based interface.
American producers are facing significant challenges due to recent tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China. These tariffs are an economic punch to a manufacturer’s bottom line. Automotive, Aerospace, Consumer Tech: these industries don't just rely on imports, they're built on them. Rebuilding such fundamental supply chains is not just a source problem; it’s a logistical nightmare that could take years to resolve. As the costs of these changes ripple through production, manufacturers are forced to make difficult decisions.
The GoEngineer Team has been busy this quarter, attending the top engineering and technology events in the country. From Houston for 3DEXPERIENCE World to RAPID + TCT in Detroit. Let us fill you in on the latest updates and hot topics from the conference center floor.
You asked, Stratasys answered, with four new products! Stratasys hit the ground running at RAPID + TCT 2025 in Detroit, Michigan, with four powerful product releases, each serving as a direct response to user feedback on existing 3D printing limitations.
As additive manufacturing continues to emerge in the medical sector, companies like Stratasys have developed advanced 3D printers and digital anatomy materials that replicate human bone and tissue characteristics. Surgeons use this technology for patient-specific pre-surgical practice—raising concerns about validating the accuracy of 3D printed anatomical models.
With the release of Formlabs PreForm 3.43, GoEngineer’s suite of tools for advanced design and manufacturing has upgraded massively. The Form series of SLA printers are best-in-class additive manufacturing solutions serving industries from tailored dental solutions, to prototyping, and end-use production parts. PreForm is the free job preparation (or slicing) software for Formlabs 3D printers, and works on Windows and macOS. With just a few button clicks, default settings and first-party resins produce reliable results.
