openfilament
Openfilament provides specialized, precisely engineered hardware and software solutions designed to unlock the true capabilities of industrial-grade 3D printers. We believe that high-end additive manufacturing equipment should serve the evolving needs of the user, rather than being constrained by the arbitrary limitations of the manufacturer.
Our primary focus is on developing robust, enterprise-ready upgrades for industry-leading legacy and current systems—specifically targeting Stratasys, Fortus, and uPrint machines. While these platforms are universally respected for their mechanical reliability, precision, and longevity, they are frequently bottlenecked by closed ecosystems and restrictive firmware.
By implementing our custom-engineered modifications, facilities can safely and effectively bypass Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) restrictions. We provide the comprehensive tools necessary to break free from vendor lock-in, empowering organizations to achieve:
Complete Material Freedom: Source high-performance, third-party thermoplastics without paying steep OEM markups, expanding your material portfolio to include advanced composites, modern polymers, and experimental filaments.
Drastic Cost Reductions: Significantly lower your cost-per-part and overall operational expenses by eliminating the need for expensive, proprietary filament cartridges and restrictive maintenance contracts.
Enhanced Operational Efficiency: Modernize your workflow by unlocking the ability to fine-tune machine parameters, adjust print temperatures, and integrate your hardware seamlessly with modern slicing software.
Ultimately, Openfilament’s mission is to breathe new life into powerful enterprise hardware, maximizing your return on investment. We put total control back into the hands of the engineers, designers, and manufacturers who rely on these vital systems every day.
