Identity & Market
Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first)Stratasys F370, part of the Stratasys F123 Series[1]UltiMaker Factor 4[2]
Release date (announcement and actual shipping)The F123 series spec sheet carried is revision 0721a (July 2021). Stratasys does not print a launch date on it[1]Announced 22 April 2024, shown at HANNOVER MESSE 2024 (22-26 April) and TCT Asia (7-9 May 2024)[2]
Launch MSRP (USD)Not documentedStarting at approximately $20,000[2]
Variants & sibling models — and how to tell them apart (spec-contamination risk)Top of the series and the only one with ABS-ESD7, PC-ABS and Diran 410MF07, an Insight software licence, and ProtectAM with US DoD STIG compliance on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Cabinet and weight are identical to the F170 and F270, so footprint tells you nothing about which model you have[1]Shares the 330 x 240 x 300 mm envelope with the UltiMaker S5, S7 and S8, which is the single most contaminated figure in UltiMaker's range. What separates the Factor 4 is the actively controlled 70 °C build volume, the climate-controlled 6-spool material station holding humidity below 15%, and HEPA filtration. UltiMaker also sells a Factor 4 Plus[2]
Physical & Frame
Build volume X×Y×Z (mm) — advertised vs actually usable355 x 254 x 355 mm (14 x 10 x 14 in)[1]330 x 240 x 300 mm[2]
Machine footprint (mm) & clearance needed (cable/spool overhang)1,626 x 864 x 711 mm (64 x 34 x 28 in)[1]Not documented
Net weight (kg)124 kg (F120) or 227 kg with consumables (F170, F270, F370)[1]Not documented
Frame construction & materialFully enclosed office/classroom-grade cabinet, factory assembled[1]Not documented
Enclosure: open / enclosed; panel material; door/lidEnclosed build chamber[1]Enclosed with actively controlled chamber airflow and a HEPA filter[2]
Passive chamber temperature reached (if enclosed; measured values preferred)Not documentedBuild volume temperature controlled up to 70 °C with actively controlled chamber airflow (manufacturer specification)[2]
Kinematics & Motion Hardware
Kinematics (bedslinger i3 / CoreXY / other)Not documentedDirect-drive dual extrusion; kinematic layout not stated in the source checked[2]
Extruder
Type (direct drive / bowden) & design nameNot documentedDirect-drive dual extrusion[2]
Filament diameterNot documented2.85 mm[2]
Hotend & Nozzle
Max nozzle temp claimed AND firmware max temp limit (both values)Not documented340 °C maximum with the high-temperature print core (manufacturer claim)[2]
Filament Handling & Detection
Spool holder location & max spool size; drybox compatibilityNot documentedAutomatic climate-controlled material handling and storage station holding humidity below 15%, storing up to six spools[2]
Cooling & Air Handling
Chamber/exhaust fan & filtration (activated carbon / HEPA)Not documentedHEPA filter[2]
Electronics & Power
Input voltage (110/220 V, switch or auto)100-132 V / 15 A or 200-240 V / 7 A, 50/60 Hz[1]Not documented
Firmware & Openness
Firmware base & current version (Klipper fork / Marlin fork / proprietary)Proprietary Stratasys firmware; print preparation is GrabCAD Print. The F370 additionally carries an Insight software licence and DoD STIG compliance powered by Red Hat Enterprise Linux[1]Not documented
Connectivity, UI & Camera
WiFi (band/standard), Ethernet, USB ports, SD/flash-driveWired TCP/IP at 100 Mbps minimum, 100base-T Ethernet, RJ45. Wireless-ready IEEE 802.11 n/g/b with WPA2-PSK or 802.1x EAP, CCMP/TKIP encryption[1]Not documented
Materials Support
Officially supported filament listPLA, ABS-ESD7, ABS-M30, ASA, Diran 410MF072, FDM TPU 92A, PC-ABS, ABS-CF10, with QSR soluble support. Diran and PLA use breakaway rather than soluble support[1]UltiMaker-branded PPS CF, PLA, Tough PLA, Nylon, PETG, PET CF and PVA, plus validated third-party materials from BASF Forward AM, Kimya, Polymaker, LEHVOSS and Jabil[2]
Safety
Certifications (UL/ETL/CE/FCC — verify, don't assume)CE (low-voltage and EMC directives), FCC, EAC, cTUVus, KC, RoHS, WEEE, REACH, RCM[1]Not documented
Noise & Power Consumption
Noise: claimed dB and independently measured dB (distance/method)46 dB maximum during build, 35 dB idle — manufacturer specification, no distance or method stated, and not an independent measurement[1]Not documented
Independently Measured Performance
Dimensional accuracy measurements (third-party, with numbers)Parts produced within +/-0.200 mm or +/-0.002 mm/mm, whichever is greater. Manufacturer figure derived from statistical data at 95% dimensional yield; Z accuracy carries an extra -0.000/+slice-height tolerance[1]Dimensional accuracy within +/-0.2 mm or +/-0.2% of feature nominal length; UltiMaker states it tested over 95% print-completion success. Manufacturer figures, not independent measurements[2]

Manufacturer claims, independent measurements, packages and test conditions retain their source wording. FDM linear speed and resin vertical speed use different units and are not directly comparable. Unknown values are marked “Not documented”. Prices and source dates remain historical snapshots; check the linked guide for product details. Differences highlight text, not a universal winner.
