Stratasys has unveiled two newly qualified 3D printing materials — AIS Antero 800NA and AIS Antero 840CN03 — now validated for use with the Stratasys F900 3D printer.

Developed in collaboration with leading aerospace and defence companies, these high-performance thermoplastics are designed for mission-critical applications that demand exceptional strength, chemical resistance and reliability.

Meeting Aerospace and Defence Standards

Stratasys worked closely with key industry partners, including Boeing, Northrop Grumman and the U.S. Air Force, to ensure these materials meet the strict performance requirements of highly-regulated sectors.

The qualification programme follows NCAMP (National Center for Advanced Materials Performance) standards, streamlining the approval process and making it easier for manufacturers to integrate additive manufacturing into their operations.

By leveraging NCAMP equivalence, companies using Stratasys F900 3D printers can produce consistent, high-quality parts without the lengthy and expensive material qualification process typically required for aerospace applications.

What Makes AIS Antero Materials Stand Out?

The AIS Antero series builds on Stratasys’ expertise in high-performance thermoplastics, offering:

• Proven Reliability – Backed by NCAMP data, these materials ensure consistent performance across multiple production locations.
• Simplified Qualification – Comprehensive documentation, training and support help manufacturers integrate 3D printing into their workflows with minimal disruption.
• Superior Performance – High strength, heat resistance and chemical resilience make these materials ideal for aerospace, defence and other demanding industries.
