Stratasys® TrueRefill™ 93in³ vs NEXT 3DP Fortus-Compatible Refill
Stratasys introduced TrueRefill™ 93in³ as a lower-cost refill option for the Fortus® Plus workflow (reuse the canister, replace the spool + chip). That changes the game: it’s no longer “canister vs refill.” It’s refill vs refill — printer compatibility, moisture control, and total cost.
- Vacuum-sealed (Mylar-bagged) 93in³ refill spool
- EEPROM / memory chip (system recognition)
- Replacement label kit (typical)
Install tip: open the canister and stage everything first — then open the Mylar bag last to minimize humidity exposure.
OEM lowered pricing at the refill level — so we compare refill vs refill. NEXT 3DP focuses on the same Fortus workflow priorities: 1.795 mm nominal diameter, moisture control, and reliability on long production builds.
Note: Some customers run NEXT 3DP refills with an existing workflow; others add an EEPROM depending on their setup. Details below.
