Overview
Designed to handle the most demanding manufacturing needs, the F900 offers the largest build size of any FDM system and is tailored specifically for heavy industries.
It uses 14 engineering-grade thermoplastics for applications that require high performance, biocompatibility, static dissipation or resistance to heat, chemicals or UV radiation, allowing users to balance fine feature detail and fast build.
The F900 can create robust production parts, jigs, fixtures, factory tooling and functional prototypes, utilising an internal camera and GrabCAD print software for streamlined workflows and easier job monitoring.
Designs can be changed on the fly, while operators can revise production materials without delaying the overall production schedule.
