At Formnext 2025 in Frankfurt, Stratasys is announcing updates for its FDM, SAF and P3 DLP systems as well as the associated software. The focus is on additional materials, higher throughput, and easier integration of additive manufacturing into series production.
In the FDM segment, the large-format F900 printer is receiving the CoatReady mode for ULTEM 9085, which is intended to produce smoother surfaces and reduce sanding and priming effort prior to coating. For the F3300, Stratasys is introducing ULTEM 9085 Filament CG with traceability in line with aerospace standards and tight diameter tolerance to ensure reproducible mechanical properties. On the Fortus 450mc platform, a Nylon 12CF T40 print tip with a 0.020-inch layer height increases build speed for large parts.
“By expanding our materials portfolio, accelerating print speeds, and introducing smarter software tools, we’re helping customers tackle challenging applications more efficiently,” said Rich Garrity, Chief Business Unit Officer. “These updates reflect our ongoing commitment to driving innovation and operational excellence across aerospace, automotive, industrial, and consumer markets.”
The Fortus FDM systems are being supplemented with XTEND-250 spools with ULTEM 9085 in Aircraft Gray and ASA Black, which are designed to support long, low-interruption builds and mitigate moisture effects. With ABS Fortus PLUS TrueRefill, Stratasys is introducing refillable spools for ABS Black, ABS Ivory and SR-35, which according to the company reduce material costs by more than 35 percent and packaging volume by over 30 percent.
On the SLA side, LayerControl+ on the Neo800+ introduces adaptive control of layer delays. Via the Titanium software, thermal peaks in the build chamber are limited to reduce surface defects and print failures while at the same time optimizing build time. For SAF systems, an enhanced-accuracy mode for polypropylene on the H350 extends the process library and targets higher dimensional accuracy and reduced warpage in larger build volumes.
For P3 DLP systems, the ceramic-filled Ultracur3D RG 3280 from Forward AM has been qualified for Origin printers. With a stiffness of around 10 GPa and a heat deflection temperature above 280 °C, the material is intended for tooling such as injection molds, extrusion dies and thermoforming tools. New Origin accessories are designed to standardize part handling and defined UV post-curing and to facilitate the production of transparent surfaces.
