Unlock Every Material Option on Your Fortus 380, 450mc & F900

Stop Paying Per Material: Unlock Your Fortus 380mc, 450mc, or F900 for the Full Material Library

Aaterials built its business on one idea: Stratasys-compatible materials shouldn't cost what Stratasys charges. We've spent years helping Fortus owners cut filament costs by 25-52% versus OEM pricing on ABS, ASA, PC/ABS, PC, and Ultem. Now we're extending that same value to the licensing side of the equation with a material unlock service for the Fortus 380mc, 450mc, and F900.

The Problem: Your Machine Is More Capable Than Your License

Every Fortus 380mc, 450mc, and F900 leaves the factory mechanically capable of running the full Stratasys material catalog: Ultem, PC, PC-ISO, Nylon 12, ASA, PPSF/PPSU, and the ABS family. But Stratasys licenses these materials individually (for up to $10k per license), so most shops end up running one or two materials on a machine that was engineered to run a dozen.

That means every time a job calls for a material outside your current license, you're stuck choosing between an expensive OEM license add-on, outsourcing the part, or turning down the work.

The Fix: One Unlock, Every Material

Our unlock service removes the OEM software restriction and opens your Fortus 380mc, 450mc, or F900 to the full range of materials it's built to run:

As the largest-format Fortus system, the F900 carries a few materials the 380mc/450mc don't — PPSF/PPSU, FDM Nylon 6, and ABSi — and those are included in the unlock wherever the hardware supports them.

This mirrors the unlock we've offered for years on 360mc/400mc/900mc systems.

Why It Pairs Naturally With Argyle Compatible Filament

An unlock opens the door. What you print through it is up to you. That's where Argyle comes in. Once your Fortus is licensed for the full material set, you're free to source Ultem, PC, PC/ABS, ASA, and ABS in Argyle's Stratasys-compatible filament instead of paying OEM pricing on every spool:

Material	Argyle Price	OEM Price
ABS	$260	$432
ULTEM	$525	$844
PC/PC-ABS	$295	$497

An unlocked machine plus compatible filament is how shops turn one Fortus into a multi-material production line without a multi-material budget.
