Capitalise on the F900’s generous build volume to prototype large parts in a single print, avoiding the higher cost and lead times associated with traditional prototyping methods. A wide range of material options provides the capability for both conceptual and functional prototyping.
Replace heavy metal jigs, fixtures and manufacturing aids with lighter tools made from strong, durable thermoplastics. The F900 can quickly produce large tooling fixtures to minimise production downtime due to damaged tools or to quickly validate new production tooling.
Meet production goals faster with 3D printed end-use parts for low-volume orders, obsolete parts or as a bridge to full production. The F900’s large build volume 3D printer capacity accommodates large batches of small parts or big parts that can be made in a single piece, consolidating multi-part assemblies.
Boom Supersonic aims to make the world more accessible by bringing back supersonic air travel, and 3D printing with the F900 has a central role in making that happen. Boom Supersonic has used the F900 to make tooling and end-use parts for its XB-1 demonstrator aircraft. It plans to do the same for the production of Overture, the first faster-than-sound passenger aircraft in 50 years. Read the case study to see how the company capitalises on the versatility of the F900.
Conventional manufacturing continues to evolve, embracing “smart” capabilities involving greater connectivity and flexibility all the way to full-on Industry 4.0 transformations.
Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, continues to evolve too, as it capitalizes on opportunities traditional manufacturing technologies can’t exploit due to their inherent limitations.
Whether it’s large-scale prototyping or end-use parts for aerospace vehicles, the F900 has the features and materials to serve any application. Armed with 18 cubic feet of build volume and connectivity-capability, this large-format 3D printer is a production-ready workhorse that augments any manufacturing operation.

Learn moreCustomers refer to the F900 as a workhorse because it delivers consistent, repeatable results. But unlike other 3D printer manufacturers, we can prove it. It’s all detailed in this white paper analysis of an exhaustive test program carried out to validate the performance of the F900, and two other FDM printers.
General Motors leverages the F900 to overcome the typical lead time delays and high costs associated with new and replacement production tooling. In these two use cases, see how GM used the F900’s generous build size and carbon-fibre material to create better automotive manufacturing tools, faster and for lower cost.
