SAF™ Selective Absorption Fusion
SAF technology is the power behind the H Series Production Platform, designed for production-level throughput of end-use parts.
The SAF powered H350™ 3D printer gives you control of your production and costs. Grow your business through volume production with consistent end-use functional parts.
SAF technology empowers a powder-based additive manufacturing process that employs industrial-grade technology to achieve higher levels of production of end-use parts. SAF is the technology behind the H Series™ Production Platform that provides broad capability to control the print process to achieve accurate, consistent production at competitive part costs.
SAF technology uses an infrared-sensitive HAF™(High Absorbing Fluid) to fuse particles of polymer powder together in discreet layers to build parts. It uses Big Wave™ powder management, a proprietary technology that includes powder distribution across a bed, where industrial-grade Piezo-electric print heads jet the fluid in prescribed areas to create each layer of the part. This is followed by exposure to infrared energy, which causes the areas with HAF to melt and fuse together. The sequence is repeated until the parts are completed.
Industrial Piezo-electric print heads and innovative powder management designed for durability and high uptime.
One-pass print-and fuse, few consumable replacements for minimal downtime and high nesting densities to meet production demands.
Real-time powder heating, unique thermal management and broad powder range for a wide spectrum of part properties.
The first Stratasys 3D printer to leverage SAF technology is the H350 3D printer, built on the H Series Production Platform.
