Stratasys H350 SAF 3D Printer

Benefits of the Stratasys H350 

1. Industrial-Grade Production

   • Designed for high-volume output of consistent, repeatable parts ideal for manufacturing environments. 

2. Lower Cost-Per-Part

   • Efficient powder handling and reuse (including SAF ReLife PA12 recycled powder) significantly reduce material and operational costs over time. 

3. Superior Part Consistency

   • Uniform thermal control and powder distribution ensure mechanical properties and tolerances are consistent across builds. 

4. Large Nesting Density

   • Supports higher part packing densities (e.g., >12 % typical, up to ~23.5 %), increasing throughput. 

5. Strong Material Options

   • High Yield PA11 and PA12 offer excellent impact resistance, ductility, and fatigue strength, while PP brings chemical resistance and airtight features. 

6. Industrial Materials & Sustainability

   • SAF ReLife enables reuse of aged PA12 powder from other powder-bed processes lowering carbon footprint and waste. 

7. Streamlined Workflow

   • Compatible with GrabCAD Print Pro, Materialise Magics, Siemens NX, PTC Creo and supports automated powder management accessories. 

Typical Applications

The H350 excels in:

 End-Use Part Production

• Functional, durable parts for end products in industrial, automotive, consumer goods, and electronics applications. 

High-Volume Manufacturing

• Volume production of components where injection molding or CNC may be too costly or slow. 

Tooling & Fixtures

• Jigs, fixtures, and end-of-arm tooling that benefit from lightweight, optimized geometries. 

Rapid Prototyping

• Functional prototypes that closely mimic final production parts in performance. 

Aerospace, Defense & Automotive

• Parts with complex geometries, optimized strength-to-weight, and production repeatability. stratasys.co.in

 Usage & Workflow (Step-by-Step)

1. CAD Design

   • Create or import part geometry (.STL, .OBJ) in CAD or supported design software.

2. Prepare Build

   • Import to print preparation software (GrabCAD Print Pro or others) and nest parts to maximize build volume. rndtech

3. Material & Parameters

   • Select SAF material (PA11, PA12, PP) and set parameters for desired density and mechanical properties. stratasys.co.in

4. Print Job Execution

   • The H350 deposits HAF fluid and fuses powder layer-by-layer in a single direction for uniform thermal control. stratasys.com

5. Depowder & Cleanup

   • After printing, unpack the parts, remove unfused powder, and post-process as required (e.g., bead blasting).

6. Assembly & Use

   • Finished parts are ready for end-use, assembly, or further finishing, depending on application.

FAQs

Q1: What materials can the H350 use?
A: It supports High Yield PA11, PA12, Polypropylene (PP), and the SAF ReLife PA12 recycled powder option. 

Q2: Is it suitable for production?
A: Yes the H350 is designed for production-level throughput, with uniform part quality and scalable workflow. 

Q3: What is SAF technology?
A: Selective Absorption Fusion uses an infrared-absorbing fluid and infrared heat to fuse powder efficiently for consistent parts with tight tolerances. 

Q4: How does it compare to other powder technologies?
A: SAF often has lower energy use, higher powder reuse, and streamlined workflows compared to traditional polymer PBF systems. 

Q5: Do I need special facilities?
A: The printers size, industrial power requirements, and powder handling safety protocols mean its typically installed in controlled production environments. 

Q6: What is SAF ReLife?
A: A sustainable solution that repurposes waste PA12 powder (even from other PBF processes) and significantly reduces material waste and carbon footprint.
