F770 – Specs and Settings

The Stratasys F770 is a large-format industrial FDM printer with a build chamber nearly 1 metre long, designed to print large parts, housings and tooling at full size, without joining sections. Replacing legacy fabrication for oversized components, the F770 delivers an enclosed regulated environment, soluble supports and the Stratasys material ecosystem for manufacturing-grade reliability.

What it is

The F770 is the largest machine in Stratasys's F-Series family: a production FDM printer with a 1000 × 610 × 610 mm build volume that can print full-length parts up to 1 metre. It operates inside a fully enclosed, temperature-regulated chamber, which is critical for dimensional stability with large ABS, ASA and carbon-filled ABS-CF10 parts. Soluble support materials (SR-35, SR-110) are dissolved away without mechanical post-processing, preserving the geometric accuracy of complex internal geometries. The F770 targets manufacturing and R&D teams in aerospace, automotive and heavy industry who need large prototypes, casting patterns or end-use production aids without outsourcing.

Applications and industries

  • Full-size large-scale prototypes: printing housings, covers and structural parts up to 1 metre long for form, fit and ergonomic verification without joining sections (Automotive and Aerospace)
  • Casting patterns and production tooling: direct large casting patterns and templates replacing expensive wooden or CNC-machined tooling; soluble supports preserve complex internal geometry (Heavy industry and manufacturing)
  • Large aerospace and automotive components: end-use production jigs, fixtures and covers from ABS-CF10 and ASA for environments with moderate load, UV exposure and thermal cycling (Aerospace and defense)

Production workflow

  1. Submit the file through GrabCAD Print and review the automatic support placement. Optimised soluble support placement without manual intervention, minimising material and dissolution time.
  2. Start the large-format FDM print with the chamber temperature regulated from the first layer. Even thermal conditions across the full 1-metre volume: minimal corner warping on large parts.
  3. Place the part in a dissolution tank (WaterWorks or appropriate solvent) to remove the supports. Clean internal geometry with no mechanical damage or support removal marks.
  4. Perform final dimensional inspection with a calliper or CMM and apply any required surface finishing. Verified accuracy and readiness for direct use or the next manufacturing stage.

Key considerations

Long print time for large parts: volumes approaching 1 metre can require dozens of hours or days of printing, increasing interruption risk and material costBreak the geometry into optimised orientations, minimise supports by rotating the model, use GrabCAD Print to forecast build time.
Interlayer anisotropy: Z-axis strength is significantly lower than XY due to FDM layer bonding, critical for load-bearing large-format partsOrient critical loads in the XY plane, revisit design for DFAM principles, or choose a material with better layer adhesion (ABS-M30).
Closed material ecosystem (The F770 operates only with licensed Stratasys cartridges) third-party materials are not supported, limiting flexibility and increasing consumable costPlan the material mix in advance and leverage Stratasys Material Subscription programmes to reduce cost at high volume.
Extended support dissolution for large parts: massive soluble support structures require extended dissolution baths, sometimes 12–24 hours for complete removalReduce support material through careful orientation in GrabCAD Print; use a heated WaterWorks tank at the recommended temperature to accelerate dissolution.

Conclusion

The F770 stands clearly apart from desktop and mid-range industrial FDM machines: its single defining argument is scale, the 1-metre chamber enables what no desktop printer can. For R&D and production teams working with large parts in aerospace, automotive and heavy industry, the F770 eliminates section joining and outsourcing, delivering manufacturing-grade reliability directly on the shop floor.
