Bambu Lab, a major 3D printer company, has been ordered to pay Stratasys, Ltd. over $27 million in damages for patent infringement in a Texas lawsuit. The lawsuit concerned technologies like automatic bed leveling and purge towers, primarily affecting Bambu Lab's first-generation products. Despite a similar suit in Europe ruling in Bambu Lab's favor, the company plans to appeal the U.S. verdict, though existing printers are not expected to be affected, and newer models use different technology.
A federal judgment ordered Bambu Lab companies to pay Stratasys $27.6 million for patent infringement, an amount equivalent to 20.1% of Stratasys's latest quarterly revenue. While the award is material, investors did not treat it as a significant windfall, and Bambu Lab plans to challenge the verdict through post-trial review and an appeal. The ruling only covers past U.S. sales, and Stratasys still faces GAAP losses despite a strong balance sheet.
A U.S. federal jury in Marshall, Texas, awarded Stratasys $27.6 million in damages after finding that Bambu Lab willfully infringed four of its 3D printing patents related to force detection, purge towers, and extrusion-based deposition. This verdict concludes the first of two patent infringement cases filed by Stratasys against Bambu Lab, with a second case and an additional claim still pending trial. Despite the ruling, no injunction has been issued, and Bambu Lab's printers remain available for sale.
Stratasys has launched the new F870 fused deposition modeling (FDM) system, a large-format additive manufacturing platform designed for industrial production, particularly in the automotive and aerospace sectors. The system offers a substantial build volume and uses industrial-grade materials like Nylon 12CF, aiming to reduce costs and accelerate production for tooling, fixtures, and end-use parts. Toyota and Rivian are already evaluating the F870 for their manufacturing operations.
Stratasys has introduced the F870 FDM system, a large-format additive manufacturing platform designed for industrial, automotive, aerospace, and defense applications. This system features a build volume of 1,000 × 610 × 610 mm and supports industrial-grade materials like Nylon 12CF, ASA, ABS, and FDM ABS Draft. The F870 aims to help manufacturers produce tooling, fixtures, manufacturing aids, and end-use parts, with companies like Toyota and Rivian already evaluating its capabilities.
