Stratasys Unveils Antero800na & Nylon12‑CF, New High‑Performance 3D Polymers for Aerospace, Automotive, and Industrial Parts

Over the past month, the 3D‑printing community has witnessed a surge of breakthroughs in material science, highlighted at major industry events such as AMUG and RAPID.

While numerous startups introduce entry‑level filaments, Stratasys continues to set the benchmark for industrial‑grade polymers, investing heavily in high‑performance solutions for the last two years.

Antero800na

Stratasys’ latest release, Antero800na, is a PEKK‑based filament that delivers exceptional thermal and chemical resilience. It joins the elite FDM lineup alongside Ultem9085, Ultem1010, and Nylon12‑CF. With superior tensile strength, minimal off‑gassing, and certified Flame‑Smoke‑Toxicity (FST), Antero800na is engineered for aerospace and automotive parts that demand stringent safety and performance criteria.

Nylon12‑CF

Last year, Nylon12‑CF transitioned 3D‑printing from prototyping to production‑grade components, but it was limited to the Fortus450. Stratasys has now expanded its portfolio with the Fortus380‑CF, a machine optimized for this carbon‑fiber‑reinforced material, further enabling metal‑replacement stiffness and durability.

These innovations underscore the expanding role of additive manufacturing in high‑stakes industries, and Stratasys remains the trusted leader in delivering the highest‑performing polymers.
