The F3300 printer offers increased gantry speeds, faster extrusion rates and autocalibration, resulting in faster overall printing speed. Part quality is also enhanced with a 25% increase in accuracy. The printer also includes machine monitoring, extruder redundancy and a more friendly user interface for maximizing uptime.
Costs of operating the F3300 are expected to be 25-45% lower compared to other Stratasys FDM solutions.
“This next-generation additive manufacturing system empowers customers to scale production and reduce the need to compromise between additive and traditional manufacturing solutions,” says Rich Garrity, chief industrial business unit officer at Stratasys.
The F3300 is the latest addition to the Stratasys FDM family, which includes the F900, F770, F450mc and the F123 series. The F3300 is expected to be available for shipment in 2024.
