High-Capacity Industrial FDM Printing for Production & Advanced Research
The Stratasys F870™ 3D Printer brings high-capacity industrial Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM®) into university engineering departments, vocational technical schools, and research centers. Designed to bridge the gap between functional prototyping and full-scale additive manufacturing, the F870 provides continuous, repeatable output with production-grade thermoplastics.
With its large-format heated build chamber and automated workflow capabilities, the F870 allows students and researchers to work directly with industrial-grade materials like ABS, ASA, and high-performance engineering polymers—preparing them for real-world manufacturing environments.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Large-Scale Build Envelope: Accommodate sizable end-use parts, large jigs, fixtures, and multi-part production runs in a single build cycle.
-
Production-Grade Thermoplastics: Print with real engineering materials capable of withstanding high heat, chemical exposure, and mechanical stress.
-
Repeatable Part Accuracy: Thermal management and precise motion control ensure tight dimensional tolerances across every print.
-
Hands-Free Support Removal: Utilize soluble support materials (e.g., SR-30™) for complex geometries, internal channels, and moving assemblies without manual labor.
-
Streamlined CAD-to-Print Software: Fully integrated with GrabCAD Print™ and Insight™, giving users direct control over slice parameters, infill density, and toolpaths.
Key Applications in Education
-
Advanced Manufacturing & Robotics: Print end-of-arm tooling, custom robotic grippers, and durable manufacturing jigs that mimic real industrial setups.
-
Automotive & Aerospace Engineering: Design and test full-scale functional components using UV-stable and chemical-resistant thermoplastics.
-
Graduate & Post-Doctoral Research: Run repeatability studies and evaluate material strength using industrial-grade parameter controls.
