Stratasys will unveil a brand new polymer manufacturing system at Formnext 2026, held November 17 to twenty at Messe Frankfurt. The corporate may even debut its F870 FDM system in Europe and present factory-floor functions from Toyota, Basic Motors (GM) and different producers in Corridor 12.1, Sales space D129.
The sales space covers tooling, end-use components, automation and digital workflows throughout its FDM, SAF, PolyJet, SLA and P3 DLP applied sciences.
A New System for Serial Manufacturing
The printer might be revealed on November 17 at 1:00 p.m. Stratasys says it’s constructed for high-volume manufacturing of constant, end-use polymer components, with its identify and full particulars to comply with on the present.
“Additive manufacturing is turning into a necessary a part of the fashionable manufacturing unit ground, giving producers higher flexibility, effectivity, resilience and management over how they produce,” mentioned Dr. Yoav Zeif, CEO of Stratasys. “We see that shift accelerating throughout industries, from aerospace and protection to automotive and dental, as clients scale additive from particular person functions into manufacturing workflows. At Formnext, we’re exhibiting the know-how, software program and experience that make that attainable at scale.”
F870 Tooling and New Supplies
The F870 pairs a completely heated 1,000 x 610 x 610 mm construct chamber with industrial supplies and prolonged unattended operation, permitting producers to print giant jigs, fixtures and tooling in-house.
On November 18, Toyota’s William (Dallas) Martin and Stratasys’ Fadi Abro will focus on simulating and validating large-format FDM tooling for automobile manufacturing, considered one of three Stratasys periods on the Business & Software Stage (Corridor 11.0, Sales space D72) alongside talks from IPC on AM polymer mould inserts and LAIKA on prototyping for the stop-motion movie WILDWOOD.
New choices on show embrace Somos ShellCast resin and GrabCAD Print Professional ShellGen software program for producing antimony-free funding casting patterns on the Neo800+ SLA printer; sCure, an automatic post-processing unit for the Origin P3 DLP platform that mixes drying, UV curing, heating and photobleaching; ToughONE Black for J3 and J5 PolyJet printers; and a brand new FDM materials and post-processing possibility. The corporate may even exhibit its GrabCAD Additive App Suite workflow software program.
Stratasys will spotlight newly printed Nationwide Heart for Superior Supplies Efficiency (NCAMP) qualification information for Antero 800NA and Antero 840CN03 on the F900 printer with the Stratasys AIS bundle, giving aerospace and protection producers a typical, independently reviewed baseline for qualifying end-use components.
The corporate may even be a part of the Formnext Protection Summit on November 17 to handle manufacturing functions and provide chain optimization with army, authorities and OEM attendees.
Polymer Methods Constructed for Serial Manufacturing
Stratasys says the brand new system will broaden its production-focused portfolio with a machine designed for high-volume output of constant, end-use polymer components.
At Formnext 2024, EOS launched the P3 NEXT, a selective laser sintering (SLS) printer that matches its predecessor’s 340 x 340 x 600 mm construct quantity right into a smaller footprint. Fabian Krauss, Head of Development Polymer Options at EOS, mentioned the system helps clients scaling to serial manufacturing, with some reaching runs of a whole lot of hundreds to one million components. Just like the Stratasys system, it’s geared toward transferring polymer components into quantity manufacturing.
Farsoon Applied sciences used Formnext 2025 to introduce the HT601P-2, a large-format polymer powder mattress fusion system designed for high-volume, steady manufacturing. It targets sustained polymer output, although a more in-depth comparability relies on the know-how and specs Stratasys will disclose on November 17.
