On November 3, 2026, Nanjixiong learned that Stratasys would present the European debut of its F870 large-format FDM printer at Formnext 2026 in Frankfurt, November 17–20. Its fully heated chamber measures 1,000 × 610 × 610 mm, targeting large tooling, fixtures, inspection gauges, and manufacturing aids. Industrial thermoplastics enable extended unattended printing.
Stratasys also previews an undisclosed plastic-part production machine on the first exhibition day. Other exhibits include the Neo800+ SLA system with Somos ShellCast resin and ShellGen software for antimony-free investment-casting patterns; sCure post-processing for Origin-P3 DLP, combining drying, multiwavelength UV curing, heating, and photobleaching; ToughONE Black for PolyJet J3/J5; and NCAMP aerospace qualification data for Antero 800NA and 840CN03 on the F900. Toyota and General Motors additive applications will also be displayed.
Nanjixiong's Observations
Stratasys is emphasizing a complete shift from individual machines to production workflows, selling post-processing, material certification, and software together. The F870's one-meter chamber directly competes with Chinese large-format FDM systems. Pricing and lead times will be major concerns for domestic customers.
