d to the application. Real parts manufactured from FDM systems are used in the entire product development process from prototyping through manufacturing. As a result parts are used for conceptual prototypes, design verification, functionally testing, & even installed for end use. Because thermoplastics are stable, dimensional accuracy is fixed, which differs from many competitive processes, that produce parts that can lose tolerance due to environmental factors. Stratasys also is the exclusive North American distributor of Arcam metal prototyping & manufacturing systems. The various Arcam systems manufacture prototypes.

brings the online quoting and ordering you expect from rapid prototyping to the CNC machining world. Real material properties — Your parts are machined from real blocks of plastic — not the "plastic like" materials used in additive rapid prototyping processes. Improved surface finishes — CNC machining eliminates the stair stepping inherent in the additive processes.
