2019: Announcement
In the middle of October, 2019 the Stratasys company released the Digital Anatomy J750 3D-printer intended for training of students of human anatomy at medical models which will reproduce tactile feelings and biomechanics of real bodies.
During creation of J750 Stratasys developers closely cooperated with manufacturing companies of medical devices and suppliers of medical services. They consider that the new printer will save medical schools from corpses and also will allow to estimate work and to analyze risks of new medical devices on specially prepared models.
J750 includes upgraded version of the software of Stratasys GrabCAD called by GrabCAD Digital Anatomy. Among other things new software precisely controls properties of the different materials used for creation of model that as it is possible to imitate different fabrics better. The Stratasys company is interested in that the third parties, such as academic medical centers and companies making medical devices checked anatomic characteristics of their models and sent reports to developers for permanent software updating.
The software of the new 3D-printer allows to create "the models comparable to this fabric". Users can define color, transparency, textures, finishing and many other things. the J750 3D-printer is also delivered with new materials: TissueMatrix, GelMatrix and BoneMatrix intended for kardialny, vascular and orthopedic modeling respectively. Also Stratasys releases the tool for removal of an auxiliary material from 3D models of blood vessels. Official representatives of Stratasys refused to report the exact price of the new 3D-printer, but said that the cost of J750 will be comparable to other printers[1]
