Toyota and Rivian Adopt Stratasys' F870 for Large-Scale Factory Manufacturing
Event summary
- Stratasys launched the F870™ FDM® system, a large-format additive manufacturing platform for industrial-scale production.
- Toyota and Rivian are early adopters, testing the platform for factory-floor tooling, fixtures, and prototyping.
- The F870 features a build volume of 1000 x 610 x 610 mm and supports industrial-grade materials like Nylon 12CF Carbon Fiber.
- Stratasys will showcase the F870 at IMTS 2026 in Chicago from September 14–19, 2026.
The big picture
Stratasys' F870 targets a growing demand for large-scale, production-ready additive manufacturing solutions. As automotive OEMs like Toyota and Rivian seek to reduce tooling lead times and enhance factory-floor agility, the F870 positions Stratasys to capture a larger share of the industrial 3D printing market. The platform's heated chamber and industrial-grade materials address critical pain points in manufacturing, potentially reshaping supply chain dynamics.
