Stratasys: new materials, features, and software advancements to accelerate productivity

 Stratasys has announced a series of innovations across its FDM, SAF, P3 DLP, and software platforms, expanding material choices, improving throughput, and introducing new capabilities to help manufacturers streamline additive production.

‘By expanding our materials portfolio, accelerating print speeds, and introducing smarter software tools, we are 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.’

FDM highlights

New CoatReady print mode for Ultem 9085 resin on the F900The F900 now includes a software enabled print mode called CoatReady, designed to improve surface quality when printing with Ultem 9085 resin. It delivers smoother surfaces that require less sanding and priming before painting – reducing manual finishing time, accelerating production, and increasing overall throughput.

Ultem 9085 Filament CG for F3300: Aerospace grade performance with full traceability and tighter diameter tolerance for strong, repeatable parts.

Nylon 12CF T40 Tip for Fortus 450 mic:ron Nearly doubles build speed for large, high strength parts with a 0.020 inch slice thickness, ideal for bulky solid components. This capability will be available with the software update of November 18.

Xtend 250 Spools for Fortus FDC: New Ultem 9085 resin in Aircraft Gray and ASA Black are now available for the Fortus FDC. These additional material options allow manufacturers to produce larger, stronger parts – benefiting from the FDC’s uninterrupted print times and reduced moisture related defects.

ABS Fortus Plus TrueRefill: Sustainable, cost effective filament refill solution for ABS Black, ABS Ivory, and SR-35, cutting material costs by over 35% and packaging consumption by more than 30%.

SLA update

New LayerControl+ for predictive thermal build managementLayerControl+, implemented through Titanium software, automatically adjusts layer delay times on the Neo800+ SLA printer to manage thermal variations that can cause costly build failures or surface defects. This predictive control reduces surface defects and build failures while optimising print speed, as well as improve part quality, and overall reliability.

SAF advancements

Enhanced Accuracy Mode (EAM) for SAF PP on H350: Optimised thermal management improves dimensional accuracy, reduces warp, and delivers consistent quality across larger builds. This advancement sets a new benchmark for polypropylene in powder bed fusion (PBF) technology, further solidifying SAF polypropylene’s position in automotive, industrial, and machine component applications.

P3 DLP innovations

Ultracur3D RG 3280 by Forward AM: Ceramic filled material validated for Origin printers can produce 3D printing mould tools, extrusion dies, and vacuum forming tools for spare part production, small batches or prototyping., With its high stiffness (~10 GPa) and heat deflection above 280°C it withstands the high temperature and pressures of the moulding process.

Origin accessories: New tools simplify part handling, controlled curing, and improved part transparency, enhancing safety and efficiency in production workflows.
