Stratasys Unveils New 3D Printing Solutions for ASEAN Factories

Stratasys is set to unveil a new serial production printer and bring the F870 to Europe, with significant implications for ASEAN factories.

Stratasys Brings Advanced 3D Printing to ASEAN Factories at Formnext 2026 \\[Stratasys](https://www.stratasys.com/) is set to make a significant impact on the manufacturing landscape in Southeast Asia with its upcoming showcase at [Formnext 2026](https://formnext.mesago.com/), held from November 17 to 20 in Frankfurt, Germany. The company will unveil a new polymer production system designed for high-volume, consistent output of end-use parts, alongside the European debut of its F870 FDM system. This move signals a major step forward in the adoption of additive manufacturing (AM) technologies in the region, particularly for factories in Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Malaysia. \\[Stratasys' new polymer production system](https://www.stratasys.com/) is scheduled to be revealed on November 17 at 1:00 p.m. The system is built to handle large-scale production, ensuring that manufacturers can produce consistent, high-quality polymer parts. This is a game-changer for ASEAN factories, which are increasingly looking to integrate AM into their production workflows to enhance flexibility, efficiency, and resilience. According to Dr. Yoav Zeif, CEO of Stratasys, “Additive manufacturing is becoming an essential part of the modern factory floor, giving manufacturers greater control over how they produce.” \\The F870 FDM system, which will also be showcased, features a fully heated 1,000 x 610 x 610 mm build chamber, industrial materials, and extended unattended operation. This makes it ideal for printing large jigs, fixtures, and tooling in-house, reducing lead times and costs. For factories in Thailand and Vietnam, where automotive and electronics industries are booming, this could mean a significant reduction in production bottlenecks and increased competitiveness. \\In addition to the new hardware, Stratasys will demonstrate its GrabCAD Additive App Suite workflow software, which streamlines the entire AM process from design to post-processing. This software, combined with the new systems, offers a comprehensive solution for factories looking to scale their AM operations. \\For Indonesian and Malaysian factories, the introduction of new materials and post-processing options, such as Somos ShellCast resin and sCure, provides additional flexibility and quality control. These advancements can help these factories meet the stringent requirements of industries like aerospace and defense, where precision and reliability are paramount. \\Stratasys' presence at Formnext 2026 also includes discussions on the Industry & Application Stage, featuring talks from Toyota and General Motors. These sessions will provide valuable insights into how leading manufacturers are leveraging AM to improve their production processes. \\### What This Means for ASEAN Factories \\The introduction of these new 3D printing solutions by Stratasys has several key implications for ASEAN factories: \\\1. **Increased Efficiency and Flexibility**: With the ability to produce high-volume, consistent parts, factories can reduce lead times and adapt more quickly to changing market demands. \\2. **Cost Reduction**: In-house production of jigs, fixtures, and tooling can significantly lower costs and reduce dependency on external suppliers. \\3. **Enhanced Quality Control**: The use of advanced materials and post-processing technologies ensures that parts meet the highest standards, crucial for industries like aerospace and automotive. \\4. **Competitive Advantage**: By adopting these cutting-edge technologies, ASEAN factories can stay ahead of the curve and maintain a competitive edge in the global market. \\### Conclusion \\As Stratasys unveils its new 3D printing solutions at Formnext 2026, ASEAN factories have a unique opportunity to transform their production processes. By integrating these advanced technologies, they can achieve greater efficiency, cost savings, and quality, positioning themselves as leaders in the global manufacturing landscape. Factory buyers should consider attending Formnext 2026 or reaching out to Stratasys directly to explore how these solutions can benefit their specific needs.
