Stratasys Introduces the Future of Additive Manufacturing with Origin Two DLP Printer

Future of Additive Manufacturing
Stratasys, a leading 3D printing technology developer, has officially launched the Origin Two DLP printer in tandem with its own post-processing system, the Origin Cure. This solution addresses the growing demand among manufacturers for injection molding quality for short production runs - delivering a level of accuracy, repeatability, and surface finish previously unattainable with AM.
Challenges in Traditional Manufacturing
Traditional high-volume manufacturing is under pressure due to a myriad of challenges, such as supply chain disruptions, material shortages, and changing consumer preferences, and there is a growing demand for low-volume production solutions to offset the costs of mass production. Additive Manufacturing with the new Origin Two is designed to eliminate the high setup and tooling costs typical for low to medium-volume production.
- Key Pain Points Addressed:
- Ensuring end parts meet stringent quality controls.
- Bringing production in-house to reduce reliance on third parties.
- Improving inventory management and lowering warehousing costs.
- Consolidating part manufacturing into a single process for better consistency.
“Additive manufacturing has grown to be a critical component of production at any scale on the manufacturing floor,” said Rani Hagag, Chief Healthcare and Consumer Business Officer at Stratasys. “With the new Origin solution, manufacturers in need of low-volume, high-precision parts now have an alternative to mass production that can meet their most stringent requirements, something which was not possible with additive before.”
Unmatched Precision and Performance
The new solution is designed to achieve a consistently high accuracy of +/-50 µm - critical for industries such as connectors, aerospace, and automotive. For applications such as seals and gaskets, housings, and window parts, it provides additional essential features such as:
- Repeatability of more than 93% within +/-50µm across origin Two printers.
- Surface finish smoothness of up to RA 3µm.
- High-print speeds up to 20 mm/hour.
The heated chamber of the Origin Two enables reliable printing of materials with a Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) of up to 300°C - making it suitable for a wide range of high-performance applications; and running on a 385-nanometer wavelength, the Origin Two system supports a broad range of high-performance materials, from high-temperature resins to high-viscosity formulations.
