FDM 360mc has accuracy and repeatability specifications of more expensive systems

MINNEAPOLIS--Jan. 29, 2008--(Nasdaq:SSYS) Stratasys today introduced a new additive fabrication system for prototyping and direct digital manufacturing applications. The FDM 360mc(TM) was unveiled at the Medical Design & Manufacturing (Pacific Design) Show in Anaheim.

The FDM 360mc was designed for users with demanding applications
that require the same accuracy, repeatability, and material
specifications of more expensive FDM systems but who don't need as
much speed or as many features.

"The FDM 360mc is even lower-priced than our Vantage i," says FDM
Product Manager Patrick Robb. "It's now the least expensive system in
our high-performance line, yet it has all the accuracy and
repeatability of our high-end FDM 400mc.(TM) It offers both direct
digital manufacturing and accurate prototyping with an easy-to-realize
return on investment for most any production operation or development
group. With some of the more expensive '3D printers' priced in the
$50,000 to $75,000 range, the FDM 360mc will compete with them on
price, yet remain in a league above them in output quality."
