Fortus FDM 3D Production Systems

The Fortus 3D Production Systems produces the most accurate and durable prototypes and parts using high-performance thermoplastics. And it offers the largest build size and maximum throughput.

Only Fortus FDM technology offers advanced production grade thermoplastic materials and state-of-the-art hardware and software. By offering the most sophisticated technology, the largest build envelope and maximum throughput of any additive fabrication system, Fortus offers unprecedented versatility and capability.

Parts produced with a Fortus 3D production system are 30-300% stronger than Stratasys parts produced with 3D printers, even when using the same materials. The advanced technology of Fortus makes the mechanical properties of the part the most accurate, stable, and durable.
