Temperature Settings for Stratasys® Fortus 3D Printers

Will this material behave correctly in a Fortus® chamber?

Fortus compatibility is defined by process conditions (active oven temperature, model extrusion setpoint, support material, support setpoint) and a small number of thermal limits that must align with those conditions over long builds.

Typical profiles shown for Fortus® 400mc / 450mc / 900mc class systems. Exact values vary by head, tip, and Insight configuration.

Notes: Setpoints are profile-dependent and vary by printer configuration (head/tip) and Insight settings. Vicat values are practical softening references; HDT values are used as a stability anchor for heated-chamber operation.

Key takeaway

Fortus® compatibility is defined by thermal margin (oven vs softening/HDT behavior) and system alignment (model + support + setpoints) over production-length builds.

  • Oven temperature must stay meaningfully below softening limits.
  • Support is part of compatibility, not an accessory.
  • Small flaws multiply in production environments.
Rule of thumb: reliable Fortus production typically requires a meaningful gap between active oven temperature and a material’s softening onset.
