Competing systems compared
Start with the technology, then the machine
Most comparisons go wrong because two printers that look alike on a spec sheet are built for different jobs. Pick the process that matches the part you need, then read the head-to-head. Every number below is a published manufacturer specification, and every Stratasys claim is tied to something you can verify on the machine.
FDM
F870
Metre-long thermoplastic parts with soluble support, printed in a 95 °C chamber that holds temperature end to end.
PolyJet
J850 Pro
Rigid, flexible, and clear photopolymers combined in a single build, down to 14 microns.
Stereolithography
Neo800+
Large, smooth, dimensionally stable SLA parts on an open 355 nm resin platform you are not locked into.
P3
Origin Two
Production photopolymer parts at 38.5 micron pixel resolution, bought outright instead of subscribed to.
SAF
H350
Short-run production nylon and polypropylene parts with consistent quality from the first part to the last.
FDM: large-format production parts in engineering thermoplastics
FDM is where most competitive shortlists start, and at large format the two machines look alike on the envelope — both are a metre long in X. What separates them is what happens inside the chamber while a part that size is printing.
Stratasys F870
FDM · large format production
- Build size
39.4 × 24.0 × 24.0 in (1000 × 610 × 610 mm) - Layer thickness
0.178 / 0.254 / 0.330 mm - Key capability
95 °C fully heated chamber; N14, N20H, N25 heads - Materials
Nylon 12CF, ASA (6 colors), ABS-M30, ABS Draft
Comparable system
BigRep STUDIO G2
FFF · open filament
- Build size
39.4 × 19.7 × 19.7 in (1000 × 500 × 500 mm) - Layer thickness
0.1 – 0.6 mm - Key capability
Build volume temperature 40 °C max; dual extruder - Materials
ASA, ABS, HI-TEMP CF, PA6/66, PETG, PLA, TPU
Why buy the F870
Choose the F870 for 49% more build volume — 372 litres against 250 — and a 95 °C fully heated chamber against the STUDIO G2's 40 °C maximum. Both machines are a metre long in X. Only one holds temperature while a part that size is printing, which is what keeps the bottom of a tall part the same size as the top.
PolyJet: multi-material prototypes that behave like the product
This comparison is not decided on resolution or tray size. Both machines jet photopolymer at roughly the same layer height, and the ProJet holds the larger tray. What differs is the material library you can combine in a single build.
Stratasys J850 Pro
PolyJet · design and engineering
- Build size
19.3 × 15.4 × 7.9 in (490 × 390 × 200 mm) - Layer thickness
Down to 14 microns - Key capability
Multi-material; full color not included - Materials
Vero, Agilus30, DraftGrey, VeroUltra
Comparable system
3D Systems ProJet MJP 5600
MultiJet · rigid and elastomer blends
- Build size
20.4 × 15.0 × 11.8 in (518 × 381 × 300 mm) - Layer thickness
13 microns - Key capability
Multi-material rigid and elastomer blends - Materials
VisiJet M3 rigid and elastomeric
Why buy the J850 Pro
Choose the J850 Pro for the PolyJet material library — VeroUltra, Agilus30, Vero, and DraftGrey — when rigid-to-flexible, application-specific prototypes are what you are making. The ProJet holds the larger tray; the J850 Pro gives you more to combine on it. If full PANTONE-validated color is a requirement, ask us about the J850 Prime instead.
Stereolithography: large, smooth, dimensionally stable parts
At this size, two things decide the purchase: how much part fits in the vat, and whether you are free to choose your own resin. The Neo platform answers both the same way.
Stratasys Neo800+
SLA · large format
- Build size
31.5 × 31.5 × 23.6 in (800 × 800 × 600 mm) - Layer thickness
50 – 200 microns - Key capability
4 W 355 nm laser; scan speed to 20 m/s - Materials
Open 355 nm SLA resins
Comparable system
3D Systems SLA 750 Dual
SLA · dual laser
- Build size
29.5 × 29.5 × 21.7 in (750 × 750 × 550 mm) - Layer thickness
50 – 150 microns - Key capability
Dual laser; RFID-required refill; no resin viscosity logging - Materials
Accura SLA resins
Why buy the Neo800+
Choose the Neo800+ for 24% more build volume, an open 355 nm resin platform instead of locked cartridges, and resin viscosity logging that tells you what the vat is actually doing. Ask us for the installed system comparison on cost.
P3: production photopolymer parts you own outright
Programmable photopolymerization competes directly with Carbon's DLS systems. The resolution and thermal control are the technical argument. How the machine lands on your balance sheet is the other one.
Stratasys Origin Two
P3 DLP · production
- Build size
7.6 × 4.3 × 14.6 in (192 × 108 × 370 mm) - Layer thickness
25 – 200 microns - Key capability
5K projector, 38.5 micron pixel; 60 °C heated chamber - Materials
Validated P3 resins plus OpenAM
Comparable system
Carbon M3 Max
DLS · subscription
- Build size
12.1 × 6.4 × 12.8 in (307 × 163 × 326 mm) - Layer thickness
Material dependent; 75 micron XY pixel - Key capability
4K light engine; subscription model - Materials
Carbon EPU, RPU, dental resins
Why buy Origin Two
Choose Origin Two for its 5K projector, finer 38.5 micron pixel size, 60 °C heated chamber, and validated plus OpenAM resin options. It is also a capital purchase rather than a subscription, so the asset stays yours.
SAF: short-run production nylon and polypropylene
Selective Absorption Fusion is built for repeatable production runs rather than one-off prototypes, with a focused material set and predictable build times.
Stratasys H350
SAF · powder bed production
- Build size
12.4 × 8.2 × 11.5 in (315 × 208 × 293 mm) - Layer thickness
Approximately 100 microns - Key capability
Selective Absorption Fusion; integrated powder handling - Materials
PA11, PA12, PP
Comparable system
EOS P 396
SLS · powder bed production
- Build size
13.4 × 13.4 × 23.6 in (340 × 340 × 600 mm) - Layer thickness
60 to 180 microns - Key capability
70 W CO₂ laser sintering - Materials
PA11, PA12, glass-filled PA, TPU, Alumide
Why buy the H350
Choose the H350 for the SAF process and a focused production material set spanning PA11, PA12, and polypropylene. The EOS P 396 builds in a taller chamber; the H350 answers with a predictable 12-hour full build, integrated powder handling, and consistent part quality from the first part to the last.
