Plastic 3D printer F870™

ABSPAFDM

Overview
The F870™ is a large-format FDM® 3D printer engineered for factory-floor production tooling and on-demand manufacturing. It delivers consistent dimensional accuracy across a 1,000 mm build length with a fully heated 95°C chamber, integrated material drying, and a scalable high-capacity material platform for extended unattended runs.

Key Highlights

• Large build capacity to print single large parts or multiple components in one job to increase throughput.
• Integrated regenerative drying system maintains material condition and reduces build failures.
• Shared 4,100 cm³ material spools with F3300 simplify inventory and lower operational cost.
• Fully heated chamber (95°C) ensures consistent layer bonding and dimensional stability over the full 1,000 mm length.
• Tool-free, fast print-head replacement reduces downtime for production shifts.
• Compatible with engineering-grade materials including FDM® Nylon 12CF™ for stiff, high strength-to-weight tooling.

Performance Numbers

• Throughput: up to 2× (with N25 high-speed head for ASA vs. standard head)
• Unattended operation: up to 2 weeks continuous printing (job dependent)
• Materials at launch: 9 (including Nylon 12CF™, ASA variants, ABS‑M30™, support materials)
• Fully heated chamber: 95°C
• Maximum printable length: 1,000 mm (39.4 in.)

Print Heads

• N14 — Fine-resolution head. Layer heights: 0.18 mm, 0.25 mm, 0.33 mm. Suited for precision tooling and detailed fixtures.
• N20H — Hardened, composite-ready head. Layer height: 0.25 mm. Designed for carbon-fiber composites (FDM Nylon 12CF™).
• N25 — High-speed head. Layer height: 0.33 mm. Optimized for maximum throughput on ASA (enables up to ~2× throughput vs. N14).

Materials

• FDM® Nylon 12CF™ — carbon-fiber filled Nylon 12 for stiff, high strength-to-weight tooling and EOAT.
• ASA (multiple colors) — UV-resistant material with improved surface finish vs. ABS.
• ABS‑M30™ Black — engineering-grade ABS for structural parts.
• FDM® support materials (breakaway and SR-35™ soluble supports) — enable complex geometries and internal cavities.
• Shared 4,100 cm³ spool design (common with F3300) for scalable material management.

Applications

• Production tooling: assembly fixtures, alignment jigs, check gauges, drill guides, forming and bending tools.
• End-of-arm tooling (EOAT) and lightweight robotic end effectors.
• Operator fixtures, ergonomic aids, and safety tooling.
• Large functional prototypes and bridge production up to 1,000 mm in a single build to reduce part splitting.
• On-demand replacement parts and maintenance aids.

Software

• Compatible with GrabCAD™ Print and Insight for job preparation, print management, and operator workflows.
