The FORTUS 400 FDM has a build envelope of 406mm x355mm x406mm, which will initially run using three thermoplastic materials including PC-ISO (polycarbonate-ISO), ASA -UV (a stable production grade thermoplastic) and ULTEM 9085 (a flame retardant high performance thermoplastic). Parts can be printed in four different layer thicknesses, 0.127mm, 0.178mm, 0.254mm and 0.33 mm depending on the requirements of the design and the materials specified. However, not all materials are suitable for the different layer thicknesses. Parts are produced within an accuracy of ±. 0.127mm up to 100mm then ±. 0.127mm per additional 100mm.
