STRATASYS F370 VS. Fusion3 edge
(UPDATED 5/3/2022)
Stratasys’ F123 line was seemingly introduced at the time to directly compete with the Fusion3 F400 and successor F410.
Previously, only Fusion3 used verbiage such as “affordable industrial-grade 3D printing” and an emphasis on accuracy, reliability, safety, and ease of use.
Frankly, we’re flattered that a company with a long history in 3D printing such as Stratasys, would take notice of our products.
The Stratasys F370 is the top end model for the company’s F123 line.
The F370 prints 8 materials with a price eight (8) time more than the Fusion3 EDGE, before you factor in the inflated cost of proprietary materials and extra service contracts.
Overall, the Fusion3 EDGE is a much better value than the Stratasys F370 and the entire F123 line of 3D printers, providing a wider range of printable materials, a larger build area at faster speeds, a longer warranty, and free lifetime technical support.
