Production 3D Printers

Learn about the best production 3D printers for low volume runs of end-use parts and suitable for engineering tooling, jigs and fixtures.

What are Production 3D Printers?

TriMech production 3D printers are industrial-grade machines available with a variety of 3D printing technologies like FDM and SAF, to create functional prototypes, tooling, jigs, fixtures, and end-use parts for demanding industries like aerospace, automotive, and medical.

Production 3D printers bridge the gap from design to mass production, enabling high-speed, precise, multi-material, and cost-effective manufacturing of complex, detailed parts with specialized properties like high heat resistance or biocompatibility, supporting rapid iteration and part replacement for metal components.

Production printers accelerate innovation by reducing time-to-market and costs, allowing companies to create complex, functional parts for various applications, from early design concepts to final production, with greater accuracy and efficiency than traditional methods.

Production 3D Printing Technologies

FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling): Builds parts layer-by-layer from thermoplastic filaments, known for strength, durability, and use in jigs, fixtures, and strong end-use parts.
PolyJet: Jet-jelly-like photopolymers, offering full-color, multi-material, flexible, and highly detailed prototypes that closely mimic final products.
SAF (Selective Absorption Fusion): A powder-bed fusion process using industrial print heads to apply fusing fluid and infrared lamps for high-volume, cost-effective production of complex parts.
P3/DLP (Digital Light Processing): A photopolymerization process providing exceptional surface quality and speed, crucial for high-precision components.
Powder Bed Fusion (PBF): One Click Metal production printers use a laser to melt and fuse fine metal powder, layer by layer, creating solid parts directly from digital designs.

Production 3D Printers Overview

Production 3D Printers Capabilities & Features

Low-volume production of durable parts made from real thermoplastics or metal

Short-run Production

Whether you need capacity for large parts or the production of many smaller parts in one build.

The manufacturing-ready production 3D printers from Stratasys offers opportunity for increased productivity, time efficiency and cost savings compared with conventional production methods.

Lower cost tools from additive manufacturing

On-demand Tooling

Production 3D Printers are ideal for creating tooling, jigs and fixtures. Additive manufactured tooling can be created on-demand, in a fraction of the time it takes for machined tools. AM-fabricated tools are lighter and can easily incorporate ergonomic features that make them easier to transport and use compared with bulky metal tools.

End-use Parts

With the incredible improvement of part accuracy, resolution, material strength and variety, and time efficiency, 3D printing for end-use parts is being utilized as the next great revolution in manufacturing.

Don't let your business fall behind the times, stay on top of the latest technology improvements and make sure your manufacturing process is running as efficiently as possible.

Reduce Costs

Product 3D printers allow factories to reduce their tooling footprint. Rather than storing physical tools, a digital inventory of tooling can be stored on servers and distributed to factory locations for printing as the tool is needed. This methodology can greatly reduce the lead times and shipping costs associated with central manufacturing of tooling.
