Stratasys to highlight new FDM printer, resin and software at IMTS 2026
The company will present production-focused additive manufacturing for aerospace, defense, automotive and healthcare markets in Chicago
Stratasys will exhibit at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) this week, where it will present a group of recently introduced hardware, materials and software for manufacturers in aerospace, defense, automotive and healthcare. The company’s booth will focus on additive manufacturing applications for tooling, fixtures, manufacturing aids and end-use parts across production environments.
Among the products getting attention at the show will be the F870 3D printer, Stratasys’ longest heated-chamber fused deposition modeling system, which has a 1-meter build length, integrated material drying and support for carbon fiber-reinforced FDM Nylon 12CF parts. The company is also introducing ASA Military Colors for its Fortus systems, mission-specific color options intended for defense applications where printed parts must meet visual and regulatory requirements for fielded equipment.
On the materials side, Somos Resolute Gray, a stereolithography resin for industrial and automotive parts, has been designed for stiffness, dimensional stability and a production-ready surface finish straight off the printer. Stratasys is also presenting the Additive App Suite, developed with trinckle, software that the company said lets manufacturing teams design fixtures, trays and tooling in minutes without CAD software and print them on any 3D printer.
“Manufacturers are looking for proven solutions they can scale across production environments,” said Rich Garrity, Chief Business Unit Officer at Stratasys.”At IMTS, we’re showing the full picture: certified materials, production-grade hardware, qualified workflows and real results from manufacturers who have moved well beyond the pilot stage”
Stratasys is also scheduling technical sessions during the show, with “Drones: Full Stack Solutions for Compliant, Scalable Production Using Stratasys Additive Manufacturing” on Tuesday, September 15, and “Why Accuracy & Precision Are No Longer the Limiting Factor in Additive Manufacturing” on Wednesday, September 16.
Both sessions have been billed as addressing how manufacturers are scaling additive manufacturing in production environments, including aerospace and defense work, drone production, digital manufacturing workflows, and dimensional accuracy and repeatability.
