MINNETONKA, MN and REHOVOT, Israel, Sep 10, 2026 – Stratasys has launched the F870 FDM printer, a large-format additive manufacturing platform for industrial manufacturers, automotive OEMs, and aerospace and defense production lines.
The F870 offers a 1000 x 610 x 610 mm (39.4 x 24 x 24 in.) build volume in a fully heated chamber. The machine runs Nylon 12CF, ASA, ABS, and the new FDM ABS Draft (Gray). The carbon-fiber Nylon 12CF provides the strength, stiffness, and durability needed for manufacturing-floor tooling and fixture work.
The platform targets production-support applications such as large fixtures, assembly tools, and inspection gauges, parts that require lengthy machining lead times, plus end-use parts. Stratasys designed it for the throughput and reliability needed for factory-floor deployment.
Toyota Production Engineering in Georgetown, Kentucky, and Rivian Automotive in Plymouth, Michigan, are evaluating the machine across factory-floor tooling, manufacturing aids, and advanced prototyping workflows, ahead of commercial availability.
“Manufacturers are looking for proven solutions to speed up production, reduce cost, and respond in real-time to ever-changing supply chain and manufacturing requirements,” said Rich Garrity, chief business unit officer, Stratasys. “The F870 is a very unique solution, demonstrating our advanced manufacturing expertise and our deep understanding of customer demand for additive manufacturing solutions that produce larger tooling, fixtures, and manufacturing aids on the factory floor. The new platform is geared towards real manufacturing environments, delivering our leading industrial-scale capabilities with increased build capacity, combined with Stratasys’ proven materials, and production reliability at a competitive price-point.”
“We’ve already seen the value Stratasys additive manufacturing can deliver,” said Dallas Martin, additive manufacturing engineer at Toyota North America. “The next challenge is expanding its use across more applications. The F870’s combination of build size, material performance and industrial features aligns with the kinds of manufacturing needs we’re looking to address.”
Stratasys will show the F870 at IMTS 2026, Booth 338460, South Hall, Chicago, Sep 14–19, 2026.
