Stratasys® Antero™ 800NA (PEKK) Alternative for Fortus® — 355-02500 Cross-Reference & 92ci Pricing Context
Need a Fortus®-class PEKK option without closed-system enterprise pricing? NEXT 3DP PEKK is built around the workflow fundamentals that drive repeatability in elevated-temperature Fortus® environments: 1.795 mm nominal diameter (Fortus®-class), disciplined drying, sealed Mylar packaging, and lot-traceable documentation. This page provides an OEM cross-reference for Stratasys® Antero™ 800NA (92ci) plus a side-by-side workflow comparison.
Overview
PEKK (polyetherketoneketone) materials are typically selected for high-temperature and chemically demanding environments. In Fortus® production printing, outcomes are driven less by marketing claims and more by workflow control: stable feeding, stable extrusion, predictable thermal behavior, and moisture discipline across long builds.
- Fortus®-class nominal filament diameter: 1.795 mm
- Moisture discipline: dry before packaging + packaging stays dry until use
- Repeatability: diameter/ovality control + lot traceability
- 92ci reference: comparisons are clearest when normalized to Fortus® 92ci format
Practical takeaway With high-temperature polymers, dryness and dimensional control are non-negotiable. Control the fundamentals and the printer behaves predictably.

Specs that matter in Fortus® high-temperature printing
Fortus® builds are long and expensive. In practice, the “make or break” factors are feed stability and moisture control: correct nominal diameter (1.795 mm), controlled ovality, disciplined drying, and packaging that stays dry until use.
Workflow control factors
- Fortus®-class nominal filament diameter: 1.795 mm
- Diameter & ovality control for stable feed behavior
- Dried prior to packaging (moisture discipline)
- Sealed Mylar packaging (keeps material dry until use)
- Consistent extrusion workflow for repeatable builds
Documentation & traceability
- Certificate of Analysis (COA)
- Certificate of Conformance (CoC)
- Lot traceability for repeat builds and controlled workflows
- Additional documentation may be available (program / application dependent)

PEKK FAQ (Fortus®)
What does “92ci” mean for Fortus® material pricing?
92ci (92 cubic inches) is the standard Fortus® reference format used to compare material costs consistently across suppliers. It’s a practical normalization point for cost-per-part calculations.
What filament diameter does Fortus® use for high-temperature materials?
Fortus® systems in this workflow class use a nominal filament diameter of 1.795 mm. Diameter and ovality control are major drivers of feed stability on long builds.
Why do drying and packaging matter so much for PEKK builds?
High-temperature polymers are sensitive to moisture. Moisture control (drying prior to packaging + packaging that stays dry until use) helps reduce variability and supports repeatable extrusion behavior during long-duration builds.
Is 355-02500 the Fortus® Plus reference part number for Antero™ 800NA (92ci)?
The commonly referenced OEM identifier for Antero™ 800NA in Fortus® Plus 92ci format is 355-02500, often listed as “MTRL, FORTUS PLUS, (M), ANTERO 800NA, 92CI”. This listing is provided for cross-reference purposes only.
How do I estimate PEKK material cost per part?
Use the Fortus Material Cost Calculator to convert your part volume into material cost using the 92ci reference pricing. This is the fastest way to compare OEM vs alternative supply on real geometry.
