What are the applications of the printer
and where will it serve best?

For whom?

We have noticed that often in manufacturing companies, engineers in the design, R&D or maintenance departments need to expand low- and medium-volume production and large-scale rapid prototyping capabilities. Important to them is the speed of obtaining prototypes, spare parts, tools, as well as final products. Printing precision also plays a role in their tasks.

What demand?

The Stratasys F900 printer will be the most advanced answer to large-format 3D printing needs. With one of the largest working fields on the market and printing in engineered materials, it allows the creation of functional prototypes, durable spare parts, tooling and end products. Prints can reach up to 914 mm in the X-axis.

In what industries?

The F900 is used by industries such as manufacturing, industrial automation, white goods and automotive.

  • Manufacturing
  • Industrial automation
  • Home Appliances
  • Automotive

Key advantages of the Stratasys printer:

01

Using basic printers, very often the final print does not meet standards. The prints contain cavities and are not made accurately. When you want precise prints that reflect your design well, Stratasys printers are the right answer. They put repeatability of prints first, and it reaches 98%.

02

You know the properties of the materials right from the start – they are described in detail in the material sheets. The F900 printer has a number of solutions that ensure more precise and faster printing than its competitors while maintaining all the expected properties of the part.

03

Are you worried about the complexity of the 3D printing process? Are you at the beginning of your journey when it comes to operating the printer and configuring print settings? The Stratasys printer is a plug&play device. You will benefit from a clear interface, short training and the intuitive GrabCAD software. You won’t have to invest extra to start production!

04

Are you using the MTConnect protocol in your factory? The F900 printer will allow you to connect with other devices as part of a broader system. Build Industry 4.0 solutions and don’t worry about compatibility.

05

Do you want to monitor live printer operation? With the built-in camera, you can do it remotely.

06

When investing money in a machine, you may want to be sure that any repair will take place at an authorized service center. At CadXpert, we offer products from well-known, stable and proven 3D printing companies. We are in touch with the manufacturer and make repairs using authorized parts and methods.

Will I be able to train my employees after purchasing the printer?

Yes, we won’t leave you alone. Along with each printer, we offer training for employees on how to use the device.

Business benefits

What will you gain by implementing F900 in your company?

  • large prototypes in a short cycle
  • dynamic supply of spare parts
  • saving time and human resources in the production of components with complex geometries
  • saving storage space for spare parts
  • saving of materials in comparison to CNC machining
  • avoiding production line downtime
  • door to door service – your machine will be taken care of by our team of certified and experienced engineers. We are present in different regions of Poland and will perform the repair at the site of your company, without worrying about prolonged machine downtime.

Is the Stratasys printer faster than cheap counterparts?

In all simulations, Stratasys solutions prove to be faster than the competition. Print without worrying about lost time!

3D printer comparison. Universal user guide

We know that our customers need reliable 3D printing information and printer comparisons in their purchases. When it comes to making a substantive case for a purchase, breadth and precision of insight is important.

With this in mind, we created “3D Printer Comparison. A Universal User’s Guide.”
Our guide will help you in the decision-making process. It’s a useful resource that you’ll be able to present to a board of directors or before a purchasing committee. It helps you evaluate technologies and 3D printers against a number of useful criteria.

What do I find in the guide?

  • Descriptions of the characteristics of 3D printing technology
  • Comparison of 3D printing technologies
  • Comparison of 3D printers from different manufacturers by market segment
  • Case study of 3D printer purchase

    What kind of return on investment (ROI) can you expect from implementing this printer?

    The F900 printer is a favorable return
    on investment:

    • For low and medium product runs. There is no need for costly and time-consuming injection molding.
    • For parts with complex geometries. 3D printing has no technical limitations of machining. There is no need for a separate CAM project (CNC machine operation) and the constant presence of an engineer to manufacture the part.
    • For large-size parts. Basic FDM printers do not have such a large working field.

    An example of return on investment in the production of rotor prototypes for Vibroson of Poznań.

    The Stratasys printer offers too low a return on investment relative to using a 3D printing service.
    What should I do?

    To implement an in-house printer is to become independent of the supplies, logistics and deadlines of subcontractors. It is also worth including indirect benefits in the calculation of the investment.

    Financing
    and printer leasing

    We work with several partners to obtain financing for your projects. We will show you where you can go to find support and get funding with simplified procedures and maximum customer care. We will help you buy and implement very quickly.
