Stratasys Objet30 Prime V3 — Technical data

The Objet30 Prime V3 is the most fully equipped machine on the compact Objet30 platform. Stratasys introduced it in November 2014; it shares the Pro's 294 × 192 × 148.6 mm build volume but, according to the data sheet, prints 16 µm layers in all rigid materials and is the only family member with a 36 µm draft mode for quick, low-cost concept models. It adds rubber-like TangoGray and TangoBlack, transparent RGD720 and biocompatible MED610 – twelve material options in all. That suits gasket and grip samples, medical-device prototypes and development teams that need to cover a lot in a small footprint. The V3 was sold until the end of 2020; its successor is the Objet30 V5 Prime.

When buying, look at which materials are actually unlocked, as they justify the premium over a Pro. Stratasys still offers service contracts. Print heads, UV lamp, cartridge age and the software version (Objet Studio or, after an update, GrabCAD Print) should be documented.
