METHOD 3D printers enable unlimited design freedom and allow users to print complex geometries with soluble support materials

BROOKLYN, NY, December 15, 2020 – MakerBot, a global leader in 3D printing and subsidiary of Stratasys Ltd. (Nasdaq: SSYS), has partnered with Oryx Additive to provide additive manufacturing support removal and finishing solutions to METHOD customers.

 

The Oryx Additive sca1200ht wash tank is specifically designed for the removal of soluble support materials on 3D printed parts. The sca1200ht is compatible with all solvent-based and water-soluble support materials as well as base modeling materials in conjunction with all recommended support removal concentrates. Model materials include ABS, ASA, Nylon, and polycarbonate materials.

 

METHOD’s industrial features are designed to enable the printer to deliver industrial reliability and precision in order to achieve consistent and repeatable prints that match design dimensions. With its up to 110°C heated chamber, METHOD can be used to print advanced materials and explore new applications. Combined with soluble supports, such as MakerBot PVA and Stratasys® SR-30, METHOD enables users to print with unlimited design freedom and part complexity.

 

“Our vision at Oryx is to achieve the full potential of additive manufacturing by collaborating with customers and being a trusted partner. With METHOD, MakerBot has forged a new path towards industrial 3D printing. METHOD’s industrial capabilities and advanced materials enable it to print a range of applications nearly on par with its traditional counterparts. With the sca1200ht, METHOD users can take their post-processing and support removal to a level commensurate with the reliability expected at the industrial level. We are ecstatic to partner with a great company, with great products, led by great people!,” said Keith Jeffcoat, Chief Executive Officer, Oryx Additive.


Oryx Additive specializes in the design, development, and manufacturing of finishing and post processingequipment for additive manufacturing. Their SCA product line includes the popular sca1200ht as well as the sca3600. The company distributes its products across multiple sub-catagories of the additive manufacturing industry, including consumer products, design and engineering, automotive, aerospace, and additive manufacturing.


“METHOD was designed as an industrial platform with the ability to allow users to experiment with new and different advanced engineering materials. Combined with soluble supports like PVA or SR-30, users can print parts with complex geometries, like internal cavities or overhangs. We are thrilled to work with Oryx to offer one of the most popular and efficient cleaning solutions on the market,” said Johan-Till Broer, Vice President of Product Development, MakerBot.


The MakerBot METHOD wash tank is currently available and can be purchased online or through MakerBot resellers.

ORYX & Phoenix Children's Hospital - 3D Printing and Your Child’s Health

By Yong Lee • 02 Sep, 2021
PCH began using Oryx Additive postprocessing technology (scaWaterjet) alongside their 3D color printer (Stratasys J55) to streamline timely deliverables to their patients. This required an acceleration to the process of “excavating” and cleaning the 3D models from their native support structures as printed. The hospital provides these technologies to communicate unique patient anatomy, such as the heart, to cardiac patients and their families. Complex radiology images make it difficult to illustrate the specific details, and areas of concern on unique anatomy. These full color, clean 3D models are a stunning and highly visual method to communicate the complete “heart defect” issues and review procedures, interventions, and conduct general planning. Take a look at the PCH Cardiac 3D Print Lab and see for yourself what amazing and innovative advancements the group is performing with their patients. We spoke with Jackqueline Le from PCH who shared her thoughts with us on just how easy it is to work with Oryx Additive and the scaWaterjet systems. “ Oryx has been a great company to work with as they have taken our suggestions and specific requirements to mind, adjusting the scaWaterjet parameters to meet our needs and assisting us maximize our success. As we print organic bodies that oftentimes have small features and fine details, Oryx has worked with us to adjust the pressure settings to ensure we may operate with bulk removal quickly, and support fine details on these sometimes fragile and challenging models. Additionally, Oryx has taken our feedback seriously and have on a timely basis, implemented many of our requests. Because of their expertise and support, the 3D Print Lab here at Phoenix Children’s is able to utilize our Stratasys J55 printer to the fullest of its potential to aid our doctors in helping our patients”. Jackqueline explained the complete workflow for us on how PCH provides final models: The patient receives a cardiac MRI scan. That MRI image is then imported into a medical imaging software program (such as geomagics) to convert that file into a 3D model file to print. The raw print model is then placed into the scaWaterjet for support removal, which reveals the model on the right - pictured above. During this process all muscle, bone, tumor, or other structures are separated by colors, to better illustrate details during a patient consultation. Other ways the hospital is using additive: The facility generates 3D models for ears, skeletal structures, blood vessels, medical devices, and brains, in addition to the cardiac applications above. PCH also provides a program allowing parents to take home their Childs unique model after surgery or MRI scan via the “Heart for your Home” program through the Emily Center. Read more about PCH and how they provide hope, healing and the best healthcare for children and their families. Oryx Additive believes they can help engineers, manufacturers, and health care providers like Phoenix Children’s Hospital, create cost-effective solutions for maximizing your 3D Printer thruput.
