Fortify Expands FLUX Series Product Line To Enable More End-Use Part Applications

Company adds new photopolymer printers and open access software to enable new materials

BOSTON, April 13, 2021 — (PRNewswire) — Fortify, developer of the most advanced filled-photopolymer 3D printing platform, today announced the extension of the FLUX Series product lineup to include two new printers and software to allow customers and partners access to develop new advanced materials. Funds from the company's recent equity round will be used to scale up manufacturing of these printers for end use part applications.

"The novel technologies built into the FLUX ONE printer can be leveraged for a variety of use cases," said Josh Martin, CEO and Co-founder of Fortify. "While there is room for growth in the tools and fixtures market, an area that Fortify is currently providing value in with our reinforced materials, there is an order of magnitude greater market potential for end use part applications. By providing versions of our FLUX printers tailored for specific use cases, we are giving users the power to go after these markets."

All Fortify 3D printers employ the company's patented processing technology, CKM (Continuous Kinetic Mixing), allowing for the printing of heavily filled photopolymers while maintaining homogeneity. Fortify's other proprietary technology, Fluxprint magnetic alignment, is now available in two configurations.

Fortify's FLUX Series full lineup includes:

  • FLUX CORE (New)- Fortify's baseline 3D printer includes CKM and is ideal for processing viscous particle filled resins where magnetic alignment is not required. Applications include RF devices and electronic applications.
  • FLUX ONE (Released in 2020)- The FLUX ONE adds Fluxprint Z (Z-axis magnetic field) to the baseline CORE 3D printer.  The system overcomes the persistent challenge of Z-axis anisotropy in 3D printing. Applications include robust mold tooling, jigs, and fixtures.
  • FLUX 3D (New)- The FLUX 3D leverages Fluxprint 3D (3-axis magnetic field) to the baseline CORE 3D printer, providing users with unprecedented levels of control to align fiber in any axis throughout parts as they are printed. Applications include heat sinks, heat exchangers, and high-performance industrial connectors.

In addition to the hardware solutions, Fortify is announcing availability of Flux Developer, a software platform that can be used on any of the FLUX printers. Flux Developer gives users the ability to push the limits of material properties by opening access to all processing parameters. With this expanded processing window, users can control variables such as exposure time and intensity, material flow, resin temperature and viscosity, and even the build plate mechanics, as they develop and onboard new materials.

"With growing excitement around our capability to process filled photopolymers, we are seeing demand from customers who want to explore materials beyond our current offerings," said Ben Arnold, VP of Business Development at Fortify. " Flux Developer is the toolkit they need to test and optimize new materials for their targeted applications."
