Stratasys has announced a series of innovations across its FDM, SAF, P3 DLP, and software platforms, aimed at expanding material choices, improving throughput, and introducing new capabilities to help manufacturers streamline AM activities. These developments will be showcased at
Formnext 2025 which begins tomorrow in Frankfurt (18-21 November).
Rich Garrity, chief business unit officer, said: “By expanding our materials portfolio, accelerating print speeds, and introducing smarter software tools, we are helping customers tackle challenging applications more efficiently. These updates reflect our ongoing commitment to driving innovation and operational excellence across aerospace, automotive, industrial, and consumer markets.”
Among the highlights is the new CoatReady print mode for ULTEM 9085 resin on the F900, which delivers smoother surfaces requiring less sanding and priming before painting. This reduces manual finishing time and accelerates production. The F3300 now supports ULTEM 9085 Filament CG, offering aerospace-grade performance with full traceability and tighter diameter tolerance for strong, repeatable parts.
Reduced moisture-related defectsFor the Fortus 450mc, a Nylon 12CF T40 Tip nearly doubles build speed for large, high-strength parts, while XTEND 250 Spools introduce new ULTEM 9085 resin in Aircraft Gray and ASA Black for uninterrupted print times and reduced moisture-related defects. In addition, ABS Fortus PLUS TrueRefill provides a sustainable, cost-effective filament refill solution, cutting material costs by over 35% and packaging consumption by more than 30%.
On the SLA front, LayerControl+ for Predictive Thermal Build Management has been implemented through Titanium software on the Neo800+ SLA printer (pictured above). This feature automatically adjusts layer delay times to manage thermal variations, reducing surface defects and build failures while optimising print speed and improving part quality.
SAF technology sees the introduction of Enhanced Accuracy Mode for SAF PP on the H350, which optimises thermal management to improve dimensional accuracy, reduce warp, and deliver consistent quality across larger builds. This advancement sets a new benchmark for polypropylene in powder bed fusion technology.
For P3 DLP, Stratasys has validated Ultracur3D RG 3280 by Forward AM for Origin printers. This ceramic-filled material can produce mold tools, extrusion dies, and vacuum forming tools for spare part production, small batches, or prototyping. With high stiffness of around 10 GPa and heat deflection above 280°C, it withstands the high temperatures and pressures of moulding processes. New Origin accessories have also been introduced to simplify part handling, controlled curing, and improve part transparency, enhancing safety and efficiency in production workflows.
