STRATASYS F870
Large-Format 3D Printing Built for Manufacturing
Now Serving US & Canada
Large-Format FDM Printing for
Production-Ready Tooling
The Stratasys F870™ brings large-format industrial 3D printing to the factory floor, making it easier to produce oversized tooling, fixtures, manufacturing aids, and functional prototypes in-house. Its robust FDM platform is designed for demanding production environments, delivering durable parts while helping manufacturers reduce lead times, simplify tooling workflows, and spend less time waiting on traditionally fabricated components.
Features
Large Build Volume & Heated Chamber
The F870 provides a 1,000 x 610 x 610 mm build volume, allowing manufacturers to print large tooling and full-scale components in a single build. Its 95°C heated chamber helps maintain a consistent thermal environment throughout the build, supporting dimensional stability and reducing warping on large parts.
Extended, Unattended Production
Designed for extended, largely unattended operation, the F870 helps manufacturers produce large parts with less hands-on oversight. High-capacity material delivery and automated material changeover minimize interruptions, allowing teams to spend less time managing the printer and more time focused on production.
Flexible Print Head Options
Configure the F870 for the demands of your application with a selection of N-series print heads. Choose the N14 for versatile layer resolution, the hardened N20H for carbon-fiber-reinforced Nylon 12CF, or the high-speed N25 for increased ASA production throughput.

Software
GrabCAD Print
Professional 3D Printing Made Easy and Accessible
GrabCAD Print is the most complete solution for Stratasys 3D printers on the planet. The intuitive, easy-to-use software allows for simplified preparation, scheduling, monitoring, and reporting of print jobs. With the ability to read and understand CAD files natively, GrabCAD Print offers an efficient workflow that streamlines job management in shared office and model shop environments.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
This FDM printer combines large-format printing with features intended for higher levels of production efficiency, including integrated material drying, automatic material changeover, carbon-fiber material capability, and multiple print head options.
The F870 supports FDM Nylon 12CF, a carbon-fiber-reinforced Nylon material designed for applications requiring high stiffness and strength-to-weight performance. The dedicated N20H hardened print head is designed specifically for processing this composite material, making the system suitable for applications such as structural fixtures, end-of-arm tooling, and lightweight manufacturing tools.
