About Openfilament

At Openfilament, we believe that your investment in industrial-grade hardware should grant you full control over its capabilities. The current landscape of additive manufacturing is often defined by proprietary locks and closed ecosystems that restrict innovation and inflate operational costs. We provide specialized hardware and software solutions to transition Stratasys® Fortus, Dimension, and uPrint systems into versatile, high-performance manufacturing assets.

Our mission is to dismantle the barriers of proprietary dependency. By prioritizing machine autonomy and material flexibility, we empower engineering teams to maximize the ROI of their equipment and accelerate their R&D cycles.

Solving Industrial Additive Manufacturing Challenges

  • System Lock-In: Proprietary “locked” systems prevent users from accessing the full technical specifications of their hardware. We develop advanced interface tools to unlock the potential of Stratasys platforms, restoring control to the user.
  • Prohibitive Consumable Costs: Mandatory OEM-branded materials inflate cost-per-part metrics. Openfilament enables the integration of high-quality, third-party filaments, helping you drastically reduce material spend without sacrificing part quality.
  • Stagnated R&D: High operating costs force teams to limit design cycles. By lowering the cost of materials, we facilitate a more aggressive R&D environment where innovation isn’t hampered by budget constraints.
  • Supply Chain Vulnerabilities: Reliance on a single proprietary supplier leads to project delays. Unlocking your machine opens your lab to a global market of specialized filaments—from carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers to high-temp materials.
  • Asset Underutilization: Many industrial printers sit idle when OEM material costs are prohibitive. We turn “single-purpose” machines into versatile tools, maximizing the ROI of your capital equipment.

Engineered for Reliability

We have meticulously tested every solution to ensure industrial-grade performance and reliability. We are committed to an open future for additive manufacturing—one where the engineer, not the manufacturer, decides what is possible.
