At RAPID + TCT Stratasys launched the Continuous Build 3D Demonstrator to showcase how it is possible for 3D printing to be a mass manufacturing solution. We talk to lead engineer of the project AJ Santiago.
The demonstrator is the third such concept presented by Stratasys in the past twelve months. AJ Santiago compares these demonstrators to concept cars, they show what the company is capable of.
Using Fortus-grade FDM technology the Continuous Build machine automates part queuing and the part removal process by printing onto a plastic sheet which is cut off and falls into a bin during the eject process.
