It starts with high-strength composite materials, but the composite-ready F123 Series offers industrial machinists and manufacturers much more. More materials, more reliability – more capability than other similar printers.
Make workholding 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. F123CR 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.
F123CR printers use ABS-CF10 and FDM® Nylon-CF10 composite materials, both reinforced with chopped carbon fiber, 10% by weight for strength and stiffness. F123CR soluble support material enables complex designs that cannot be made with conventional machining or other 3D printers that don’t have this capability. Four-layer resolutions give you flexibility on part quality and print speed. Variable part density gives you the freedom to make fully-dense, solid parts or adjust the infill to save weight and material use.
F123CR composite printers are built on the same platform as the proven F123 Series, with a verified 99% uptime and a 99% dimensional repeatability performance.* Material tuning – optimizing print parameters using over 220 measurements – ensures consistent material performance across all resolutions and successful print results.

You don’t need special training or highly skilled technicians to operate F123CR printers. Job setup simply involves importing the part’s CAD file using GrabCAD Print™ software and initiating the print. The printer requires no further oversight until the job is done.
GrabCAD Print software provides a simple and intuitive CAD-to-print workflow and includes advanced features to ensure successful prints. For users who want deeper control of print options, Insight™ software is also included on the F370CR. MTConnect capabilities make it easy to integrate the printers into a connected factory floor. This industry-standard communication API lets you collect, analyze and display machine data in a useful way.
An open material platform enhances versatility even further by allowing you to expand your application space with new materials you develop or ones developed in partnership between Stratasys and a third party. The Stratasys open material ecosystem includes validated materials that have received basic reliability testing, and materials created outside the Stratasys material development process.
