Stratasys Ltd. announced on February 25 2026 that its flagship F900 industrial printer achieved a 22% year‑over‑year increase in system reliability, a metric that reflects uptime, equipment effectiveness and production performance.
The reliability boost resulted from targeted manufacturing improvements developed in 2025 and announced on February 25 2026. The improvements, created in partnership with the company’s Customer Advisory Board (CAB), included software updates, hardware modifications and process changes that reduced downtime and improved part quality for end‑use tooling and production parts.
The CAB, which includes leaders from aerospace, defense and automotive sectors such as General Motors, Toyota and Boeing, provided the data‑driven insights that guided the refinement of the F900’s manufacturing processes. Foster Ferguson, Vice President of the Industrial Business Unit, said, "The Customer Advisory Board ensures our strategy is grounded in the operational realities of industrial manufacturing. Their input directly shapes our priorities, from validated material performance and reliability metrics to integrated digital workflows and automation frameworks that enable repeatable, scalable production."
The 22% reliability gain signals stronger operational performance for Stratasys’s high‑value production‑scale offerings and supports the company’s strategy to expand its industrial‑grade market share. The improved reliability is expected to enhance customer confidence and drive higher utilization of the F900 platform in key verticals such as aerospace, automotive, consumer products and healthcare.
Rich Garrity, President and Chief Business Unit Officer, added, "The Customer Advisory Board is invaluable in driving strong adoption of additive to the overall manufacturing ecosystem. Having their insight into what works, what doesn't and how additive can fit onto their factory floor leads to better products and better outcomes for everyone."
The F900 is Stratasys’s largest FDM system, with a build volume of 914 × 610 × 914 mm, and is used for end‑use tooling, jigs, fixtures and functional prototypes. The reliability improvement demonstrates the company’s ability to translate customer feedback into tangible product enhancements, reinforcing its position as a leader in the industrial 3D printing market.
The announcement comes ahead of Stratasys’s Q4 2025 earnings release on March 5 2026, providing investors with a clear view of the company’s operational progress and its continued focus on delivering reliable, high‑performance solutions to its industrial customers.
