Stratasys, the market leader in polymer 3D printing solutions, announced that it has signed an agreement with Toyota, a global industry leader in automotive manufacturing and innovation, to be the first to purchase the new, cutting-edge Stratasys F3300 3D printer.

to support new manufacturing, including parts and fasteners, as well as prototyping applications, will use the F3300 3D printerto bring new products to market faster.

The F3300 is Stratasys’ latest FDM (Fusion Deposition Modeling) 3D printer designed to expand manufacturing capacity. This next-generation manufacturing machine is capable of producing complex, high-precision that are critical to vehicle design and application – from prototypes to end-user parts. The 3D printer offers versatility, fast material changeover and loading, automatic calibration, and high production capacity. With these capabilities, the F3300 reduces the cost per part by up to 25 percent, prints up to twice as fast as any other production FDM 3D printer, and has 25 percent greater accuracy. The capabilities and production capacity offered by the F3300 align with Toyota’s reputation for delivering high-quality, innovative vehicles to customers worldwide.

“The ability to integrate the F3300 3D printer into our additive manufacturing processes is a major step forward in achieving our corporate goals,” said Eduardo Guzman, Toyota’s head of advanced technologies. “The capabilities of the new 3D printer will help us accelerate the introduction of new additive manufacturing capabilities into our manufacturing operations.”

“We share a common interest in delivering innovation and excellence to our customers, and this collaboration with Toyota demonstrates our shared commitment to better, smarter, and more sustainable manufacturing,” said Rich Garrity, president of Stratasys’ Manufacturing Enablement Business “Designed with manufacturing in mind, the F3300 redefines additive manufacturing in factories with its speed, lower cost, and ease of use.”

Press release: Stratasys F3300 is here – a more accurate, faster FDM additive manufacturing system

To meet the increasing demands of industrial applications of additive manufacturing, Stratasys' latest 3D printer delivers even greater accuracy, uptime and at least double the production capacity

In industry, performance is everything. Accuracy, repeatability, and reliability are key to generating profits. Manufacturing and development companies know this best, and the F3300 3D printer is designed for them, expanding the scope of additive manufacturing and being the best FDM 3D printer in the industrial category.

Stratasys, a leader in polymer 3D printing and additive manufacturing solutions, will introduce its new F3300 Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printer at the Formnext exhibition and conference in Frankfurt, November 7-10, 2023. This innovative 3D printer offers unparalleled value to manufacturing businesses through reduced labor requirements, maximized uptime, and higher part quality and production capacity.

Designed for manufacturing applications by the inventors of FDM, the F3300 will be the most advanced industrial 3D printer on the market. Its design and advanced features will transform the use of additive manufacturing in the most demanding industries, such as aerospace, automotive, military and contract manufacturing. The F3300 will be available from 2024.

Additive manufacturing has become increasingly competitive with other manufacturing technologies through the following developments:

  • Faster printing: with increased gantry speed, higher extrusion capacity and automatic calibration, with minimized downtime.
  • Higher part quality and increased production capacity: Up to 25% increased production capacity, along with improved accuracy and repeatability, along with automatic printer calibration.
  • Maximized uptime: with remote machine monitoring, extruder redundancy, and a user interface that prioritizes ease of use.
  • Lower costs: 25-45% lower manufacturing cost per part compared to other Stratasys FDM solutions.
