Augment machining with composite 3D printing

Stratasys
F-Series Carbon-Ready

Supplement your fixture and part fabrication with FDM composite 3D printing to gain speed, throughput and cost benefits thanks to Stratasys F123 Series CR.

Meet deadlines and stay on budget.

Make workholding fixtures, soft jaws and component parts with composite 3D printing in a fraction of the time and cost it takes to machine a metal equivalent. 

Traditional manufacturing methods take time and cost to get started.

 Engineers and machines are locked up whilst getting the resources to start a project.

F123 CR printers supplement traditional fabrication technologies.

Utilise engineering-grade thermoplastics to build strong workholdings, fixtures, tooling and parts.

This accelerates your throughput and replaces metal components.

Avoiding the opportunity cost of using production resources or the lead time of outsourcing.

Designed for industrial application

Workholding fixtures

Carbon fibre materials allow for the substitution of machined metal for strong and rigid 3D printed soft jaws, fixtures and manufacturing aids.

Durable components

Built-in durability alongside composite materials provide the mechanical properties for low-volume production parts that meet strength specifications.

Functional prototyping

Capitalise on the high-strength capabilities of composite 3D printing to accelerate production with fast, iterative functional prototyping.

Supplementing your existing workflows

F123 CR printers supplement traditional fabrication technologies, allowing industrial manufacturers to replace metal components with high-strength 3D printed composite parts. This accelerates throughput while avoiding the opportunity cost of using production resources or the lead time of outsourcing.

Ready for composite 3D printing

With the new FDM Nylon-CF10 material renforced with carbon fibre, perfect for industrial applications.

High-strength
composite printing

F123 CR printers use ABS-CF10 and FDM Nylon-CF10 composite materials, both reinforced with chopped carbon fibre, 10% by weight for strength and stiffness. F123 CR soluble support material enables complex designs that cannot be made with conventional machining.

Protect production schedules with unmatched uptime.

Built on the same platform as the proven F123 Series, with a verified 99% uptime and a 99% dimensional repeatability performance. Material tuning, optimising print parameters using over 220 measurements, ensures consistent material performance across all resolutions and successful print results.

Application versatility enhanced by open materials.

Keep your options open. With F123 CR printers, you buy one printer but get the versatility of multiple thanks to an open material platform. This further enhances versatility by allowing you to expand your application space with new materials you develop or ones developed in partnership.
