 Ltd</a>. SSYS: the 3D printing and additive manufacturing 
 solutions company, announced today two new advanced materials: FDM Nylon 
 12CF - a carbon fiber-filled thermoplastic strong enough to replace 
 metal components in a range of applications, and, for the PolyJet 
 process, Agilus30 - a new line of high-durability flexible materials 
 that can withstand repeated flexing without tearing or deforming.

 FDM Nylon 12CF: Best Stratasys FDM Stiffness-to-Weight Ratio The 
 first high-performance composite material to replace a range of metal 
 applications available for Stratasys FDM technology, FDM Nylon 12CF is 
 ideal for rapid prototyping, strong, light-weight tooling and end-use 
 parts.
 
 
 Containing 35 percent chopped carbon-fiber by weight, FDM Nylon 12CF 
 offers the best stiffness-to-weight ratio among Stratasys FDM 
 thermoplastics, meeting functional performance testing demands in 
 automotive, aerospace, recreational goods, and industrial manufacturing 
 sectors.
 
 
 FDM Nylon 12CF will be of special interest for the following users and 
 use cases:
 
 <ul xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
 <li xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="bwlistitemmargb">
 Design engineers that need to rapidly produce strong, light-weight and 
 rigid components for functional prototyping, thus reducing new product 
 time-to-market.
 </li>
 <li xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="bwlistitemmargb">
 Manufacturing engineers that produce manufacturing aids, such as jigs 
 and fixtures, where high material stiffness and strength is required 
 and there is great benefit to the significant weight savings over 
 metal tooling components.
 </li>
 <li xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="bwlistitemmargb">
 Design engineers making low-volume production parts with unique 
 structural requirements, where high strength in one-direction is 
 required.
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 FDM Nylon 12CF beta customer Utah Trikes is taking advantage of the 
 material's properties throughout its development and production process 
 to make significant cuts to its product development times.
 
 
 "The excellent strength and stiffness-to-weight ratio of the FDM Nylon 
 12CF material is a game changer for us. It means we can prototype almost 
 every part of our product on Stratasys FDM 3D Printers in under two 
 weeks, where in the past it could take us over two months," said Ashley 
 Guy, president and CEO of Utah Trikes.
 
 
 "I no longer have to constrain my designs because of prototyping 
 limitations. Now I can focus on designing better, more functional parts 
 without worrying about how to shape the aluminum or how to lay up carbon 
 fiber onto the molds. Stratasys FDM Nylon 12CF parts can be 3D printed 
 faster, with superior stiffness-to-weight performance and with better 
 repeatability than any other 3D printing technology or vendor we've 
 seen," continued Guy.
 
 
 "We believe that the impressive strength-to-weight ratio of the FDM 
 Nylon 12CF is transformative for many industries from consumer goods and 
 recreational goods to automotive and aerospace," said Zehavit Reisin, 
 VP, Head of Rapid Prototyping for Stratasys. "It enables designers to 
 develop more practical and functional designs and get them to market 
 faster, without worrying about how to prototype those parts using metal 
 or molding."
 
 
 According to Tim Schniepp, Head of Tooling Solutions for Stratasys, "The 
 very high stiffness-to-weight ratio of the FDM Nylon 12CF material makes 
 it extremely well suited for a wide range of final part and 
 manufacturing tooling applications where the combination of stiffness, 
 strength and low weight is critical to the performance. Examples include 
 drill guides, end- of- arm tooling, brackets, jigs, fixtures, and even 
 metal forming tools."
 
 
 Expected to begin shipping in Q2 2017, FDM Nylon 12CF is available for 
 the Stratasys Fortus 450mc Production 3D Printer and is compatible with 
 soluble support SR-110. It requires an updated version of Insight 
 software and a hardware upgrade. The material can produce parts in a 
 layer thickness of 0.010 in (0.254 mm).

 Agilus30: Improved Flexibility and Tear-Resistance The 
 Agilus30 family of materials, consisting of Agilus30 and Agilus30 Black, 
 is created for designers and engineers that need to simulate flexible or 
 rubber materials. The materials enable greater freedom to handle and 
 test flexible parts and prototypes while delivering superior accuracy, 
 fine details and enhanced product realism.
 
 
 An excellent choice for modeling delicate parts that undergo repeated 
 flexing and bending, the Agilus30 family's all-around rubber-like 
 performance and compatibility with soluble support (SUP706) is expected 
 to be of interest to mechanical engineers, RP managers and industrial 
 designers.
 
 
 Examples of applications benefitting from Agilus30 include over-molding, 
 soft-touch and living hinges, hoses, seals and gaskets, as well as 
 knobs, grips, pulls, and handles. Agilus30 can also be combined with 
 additional materials to create a wide range of <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" href="http://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.stratasys.com%2Fmaterials%2Fpolyjet%2Fdigital-materials&amp;esheet=51521141&amp;newsitemid=20170307005731&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Digital+Materials&amp;index=4&amp;md5=5f19bd5f35935144774133aba1b578c4" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">Digital 
 Materials</a> with varying Shore A values, shades and colors.
 
 
 Agilus30 is compatible with Stratasys' Objet260/350/500 Connex1/2/3 3D 
 Printing platforms and is now available for shipping.
