Description
The Stratasys F170 is an industrial FDM 3D printer designed for reliable production of functional prototypes, fixtures, tooling, and end-use parts. Part of Stratasys’ F123 Series, it uses soluble support material and a heated build chamber to produce dimensionally consistent parts with relatively little operator intervention. The F170 supports engineering thermoplastics including ABS-M30, ASA, PLA, TPU 92A, and ABS-CF10, allowing it to cover applications ranging from general prototyping to more durable or rigid functional components. Its enclosed, office-friendly design, straightforward material handling, and integration with GrabCAD Print make it particularly well suited to professional design, engineering, and educational environments where repeatability and ease of use are more important than maximizing build volume or print speed.
Reviews
- Machines are locked into only use their materials
- Materials are overpriced
- Maintenance costs are very high
- Layer bonding is very good (Reddit post)
- There are faster machines
- Requires using GrabCAD to print to machines - not the best software
