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.

Fortus 3D Production Systems use Stratasys FDM® (fused deposition modeling) technology and real engineering thermoplastics to build the most accurate, durable parts of any additive fabrication system.
Directly from CAD files Fortus machines produce parts that are tough enough to be used for rapid prototyping concept models and functional prototypes and manufacturing tools, and end-use parts.
CAD file to part in just three steps.
All Stratasys FDM systems produce thermoplastic parts in just three steps, unlike some competitive additive fabrication processes that have up to 16 steps. Just load your file, machine produces part and remove the support material.
Pre-Process - Load the part’s STL file (CAD data) in Insight file processing software.
Manufacture Parts - System builds part in thermoplastic material one layer at a time on precise paths.
Remove Supports - Remove temporary support structures in a hands-free soluble support tank.
While competitors simulate thermoplastics using powders and resins, models and parts produced using FDM technology are produced from real thermoplastic materials and as a result are much more versatile. Parts can be used as prototypes, concept models, functional parts to test form and fit, manufacturing tools, and end-use production parts.
Parts for Functional Prototyping
Prototypes produced by Fortus systems are more accurate and durable than can be produced via other additive fabrication processes. They can be used throughout the design and functional testing process. These prototypes speed your time to market, drive down costs, and unleash you from the limitations of lesser grade systems. Make multiple design iterations to optimize design and fi nd design errors early in the design process when changes are the least expensive to make. Read More
Parts for Manufacturing Tools Manufacturing tools, such as jigs, fi xtures, drill guides, and check gauges can be quickly and cost-effectively produced with Fortus additive fabrication systems — a process called direct digital manufacturing (or rapid manufacturing). This process eliminates machining or tooling, shaving months and tens of thousands of dollars off scheduling. Read More
Parts for End-Use Instead of machining parts or cutting a tool for molding, direct digital manufacturing (DDM) can be a cost-effective and simpler alternative. Now the production process can start as soon as the part’s CAD fi le is sent to an additive fabrication machine without the cost and time associated with tooling or machining. Read More
Advanced Applications Fortus 3D Production System’s advanced hardware, improved output, robust materials, large capacity and sophisticated software, enables you to build parts that stand up to demanding requirements and conditions. Fortus application engineers have developed unique applications for parts manufactured by Fortus systems. Techniques range from as simple as painting to more complex applications such as RTV Molding, Molded Paper Pulp and Sand Casting and many more. Read More
