Stratasys V650 Flex – SLA 3D Printer

Stereolithography. Upgraded.

Stratasys V650 Flex

Raise the SLA 3D printing game.

Upgrade to the Stratasys V650 Flex 3D Stereolithography printer and you can add game-changing advances in speed, accuracy and reliability to the established capabilities of Stereolithography. Create smooth-surfaced prototypes, master patterns, large concept models and investment casting patterns more quickly and more precisely than ever. The result of over four years’ testing, the Stratasys V650 Flex delivers outputs unfailingly, time after time. More than 75,000 hours collective run time have gone into the V650 Flex, more than 150,000 parts produced in its refinement. It uses materials specially configured in partnership with DSM and it requires little maintenance.

Features
Tech Spec Matrix

Reduced downtime, increased workflow.

The Stratasys V650 Flex prints through short power outages, and if you ever need to re-start, you can pick up exactly where you left off. Years of testing have helped deliver not only the stamina to run and run, but also low maintenance needs and high efficiency. To make life even easier, the V650 Flex runs on 110V power – no need to switch to a 220V power source.

More accuracy. More speed.

The V650 Flex’s adjustable beam spot sizes - 0.005” to 0.015” - enhance control, detail, smoothness and accuracy. With more precise printing comes better informed decision-making and better chances of success. You have twice the capacity and, to ease workflow further, this production-based machine provides a large VAT for maximum output (build volume 20”W x 20”D x 23”H) and interchangeable VATs.

Double capacity. Smaller footprint.

Readily combine a configurable environment with the power of a large-scale industrial size system to fine-tune materials and produce perfect outputs. You are also equipped with twice as many scanning systems, in a footprint smaller than the nearest competitor can offer. With the Stratasys V650 Flex, you can confidently upscale your thinking.

Innovative. Intuitive. Productive.

Every Stratasys V650 Flex is equipped with a user-friendly, touch-enabled interface developed in parallel with SolidView build preparation software. There are smart power controls and Adaptive Power Mode for automated adjustment of laser power, beam size and scan speeds for optimum build performance. Work with advanced efficiency.

Stratasys service and support.

Now Stereolithography comes with an invaluable component: peace of mind. The V650 Flex is backed by the end-to-end and on-demand service and world-class support that is guaranteed with Stratasys. Any field issues get fixed fast, and our 30 years’ experience in 3D printing enable us to help you do more than ever, more efficiently.
