Stratasys F900

The ultimate 3D production system

RETHINK EVERYTHING

The Stratasys F900 3D Printer is the most precise and powerful FDM system available. With the largest build size of any Fortus system, the Stratasys F900 is designed to handle the most demanding manufacturing needs.

The Stratasys F900 uses engineering-grade thermoplastics to build robust production parts, jigs, fixtures, factory tooling, and functional prototypes. Large parts are printed fast with the standard, large T40A tip to help meet production demands with ease.

The Stratasys F900 offers a streamlined workflow and easier job monitoring with an internal camera, GrabCAD Print software, and MTConnect readiness.

Insight Software for Stratasys 3D Printers

INSIGHT SOFTWARE

OPTIMIZE BUILD OUTPUT FOR 3D PRINTING

Insight software prepares your CAD program’s STL output for 3D manufacturing on a Fortus machine by automatically slicing and generating support structures and material extrusion paths. For maximum control, users can manually edit parameters that determine the look, strength, and precision of parts as well as the speed and material use of the FDM process.  

  • Optimize build orientation for maximum strength and smoothest surface finish
  • Customize supports for fast, easy removal and best use of materials
  • Program pauses into the build for any reason, such as to embed hardware or circuitry
  • Manipulate tool paths for advanced control over part properties

Included with Insight is Control Center. This sophisticated software application communicates with user workstations and Fortus systems, to manage jobs and monitor production status. Design, engineering, and manufacturing teams can network and share 3D manufacturing capacity to maximize efficiency and throughput.

*Compatible with GrabCAD Print for use with job reports, scheduling, and remote monitoring.

 

 

 

 

Yes, hardware and software upgrades are available. The upgrade will work on both GEN 1 and GEN 2 systems. However, GEN 1 systems will not gain the features on the GEN 2 such as the camera or certifications.
No, Insight is included with the package and can be used.
No, the camera only takes still shots and does not collect the images, only shows the most recent picture.
No, all the current Fortus 900mc part numbers remain the same for F900.
No, the NRTL listing included as standard on the system is a UL equivalency. Stratasys used TUB as the NRTL applying the label.
Electrical Power: 230VAC 3 phase, 50/60 Hz : (same power as the previous system, transformers required dependent on customers’ available power.)
