Unboxing the Stratasys Fortus 900mc 3D printer
Thinking about printing on a Stratasys Fortus 900mc 3D printer? Now you can via our online 3D printing service. We just installed this 3000 kilo/660 lbs beast in at our headquarters. Check out our unboxing session of the Stratasys Fortus 900mc below.
It was a very exciting day: our newest 3D printer arrived and is now ready to take your orders. It is a Stratasys Fortus 900mc FDM 3D production system and we like it a lot. When people hear the term ‘3D printer’ they often think of desktop printers that can easily be bought online and delivered by post.
But the Stratasys Fortus 900mc is an industrial 3D printer – and a big one! Here is a simple guide to unboxing your Fortus 900mc.
