Composite 3D Printer
Meet deadlines and stay on budget with high-strength composite printing.
Make work holding 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. Stratasys F123CR 3D 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.
Stratasys F190CR & Stratasys F370CR Features
Stratasys F123CR Series Benefits
Simple Setup & Operation
- GrabCAD Print software makes setting up print jobs simple, just import the part’s CAD file and the software generates toolpaths and supports
- Multiple resolutions will print from the same print head, avoiding tooling changes
- Press print and walk away. No oversight needed until print job is complete.
- The F370CR features auto-changeover, meaning you won’t have to interrupt a build to refill materials
Augment Machining
- Supplement traditional fabrication technologies with composite 3D printing
- Replace traditionally metal components with high-strength 3D printed composite parts
- Avoid opportunity cost of using limited production resources or the lead time of outsourcing
- Produce fixtures, soft jaws, component parts and more using composite 3D printing for a fraction of the time and cost compared to metal machining
- Strong functional prototypes and end use parts
Unmatched Uptime
- Stratasys F123CR printers are built on the same platform as the proven F123 Series, with a verified 99%- uptime and a 99%-dimensional repeatability performance*
- Combining hardened components and print heads, sealed, desiccated filament bays, and a fully heated build chamber to offer unmatched reliability
- New heads designed for printing composite materials with extended life

Unmatched composite parts with reliability and repeatability
The F123CR composite material 3D printers are built on the same platform as the highly reliable F123 Series FDM 3D printers, with a demonstrated 99% uptime and 99% dimensional repeatability performance.
- Strong & Durable Composite Parts: Composite 3D printing materials offer the mechanical properties required for industrial-grade low-volume component and production parts.
- Strong workholding fixtures: Carbon fiber materials allow the substitution of machined metal for strong and rigid 3D printed soft jaws, fixtures and manufacturing aids.
