The last few weeks at Prusa have been busy. With PrusaDay, where we rolled out CORE One L, the Silicone Toolhead, Signature Oak, Critical Infrastructure Edition, OpenPrintTag, and even teased PrusaSlicer 3.0. You thought we were done? Not even close. We’ve been saving some of our biggest surprises under wraps just for Formnext!

So if you’re heading to Formnext 2025 (November 18–21, Messe Frankfurt, Germany), make sure to stop by our booth (Hall 12.1, F01). The spotlight this year is on INDX, but you’ll also see the upgraded CORE One+, the 400 °C HT Hotend, and yet another wild new XL toolhead, our new drybox, and more!

Let’s jump right in.

TL;DR (What you can see on our booth)

Prusa+INDX: The Definitive Solution for Multi-Material 3D Printing

The biggest news is without a doubt the INDX, a revolutionary new tool-changing system for our entire CORE One lineup, developed in an exclusive partnership with Bondtech. It delivers the speed and near-zero-waste performance of a full toolchanger, but with the simplicity and scalability of passive, affordable tools.

The Smart Head is the single active component that moves on the gantry. It contains all the expensive parts: the Induction heating (IN) plus sensing electronics and the Dynamic eXtruder (DX) drive system with a self-adjusting tension mechanism.

The passive tools are wireless, simple, and cheap to scale – load four, six, or eight filaments with no buffers, no filament rewinding, no filament poop chute, or complex mechanics. The result is an effortless, highly scalable system that brings true toolchanger performance to a compact machine.

We have a whole article just about INDX, where you can read all about it. And if you’re at Formnext, stop by our booth to see the full eight-tool setup running live.

Prusa CORE One L

The just announced larger sibling of the CORE One is already in users’ hands! The CORE One L delivers twice the print volume (300×300×330 mm) in a compact footprint, with a massive aluminum convection AC heatbed and an actively heated 60 °C chamber for perfect layer adhesion even on large technical prints.

It’s built for reliability, pre-calibrated from the factory, and includes smart touches like automatic top-vent control. Early reactions have been overwhelmingly positive – we’ve sold through our entire first batch and are now ramping up production to catch up with demand.

Prusa CORE One+

We introduced the Prusa CORE One exactly one year ago at Formnext 2024. It quickly found its way into homes, workshops, schools, and even companies like NASA and Volkswagen, proving that professional performance doesn’t have to come in an industrial-sized package.

Built around a rigid steel exoskeleton and loved for its dimensional accuracy, reliability, and ease of use, the CORE One became one of our most popular printers and even earned a Red Dot Design Award for its distinctive design.

Now, with the CORE One+, we’re bringing a refined version of this proven workhorse. You asked for the improvements from the “L” version, we deliver: the CORE One+ includes automatic top vent operation, a redesigned filament insertion point for easier flexible filament loading, and a new bayonet-style spoolholder ready for dryboxes. It also rolls in all updates from the entire lifespan of the CORE One, resulting in even better print quality and smoother operation.

A few days ago, we temporarily paused shipments of the CORE One, and we’ll resume sending them out next week on November 27, 2025, now as the Core One+. All customers who currently have a CORE One on order and not yet shipped will automatically receive the upgraded CORE One+.

Existing owners can upgrade easily. The print-it-yourself files will be available on Printables.com within a few days, or you can pick up the official upgrade kit from our shop. If you purchased a Core One within the last 60 days and don’t want to print the upgrade yourself, you can fill out this form and we’ll send you the CORE One+ upgrade for free.

And if you’re ready to take your CORE One or One+ to the next level – meet our new 400 °C HT Hotend.

HT Hotend Upgrade – Print at 400 °C

A major new add-on is the HT (High-Temp) Hotend Upgrade, now available for the entire CORE One family, including the CORE One, CORE One+, and CORE One L. This is a simple, quick-swap upgrade that can be installed in less than a minute, unlocking the ability to print with a nozzle temperature of up to 400°C.

This capability opens the door to an entirely new category of high-performance polymers like PEKK-CF, PPS-CF, and PPSU, known for their exceptional temperature & chemical resistance, and high durability. This allows them to meet rigorous industry standards and certifications like AS9100 and ISO 10993 for critical, long-term applications.

The HT Hotend also significantly improves the performance of existing filaments. It can produce up to 30% sturdier parts from materials like PA11CF and PCCF, thanks to stronger layer adhesion.

You can use the “Notify me when available” feature on our eshop to get a notification once available (~February 2026).

XL Toolheads: Silicone and Pick&Place

In partnership with the startup Filament2, we’re introducing a revolutionary plug-n-play toolhead that prints with real, 2-part liquid materials. The first material is a heat-resistant silicone. It’s supplied in a hollow tube (looking like filament) that routes into a precision mixing nozzle in the Nextruder. You can read more about it here.

Another toolhead shown at our booth is the Pick&Place XL Toolhead. This project is a collaboration with the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW), and a tech demo demonstrating the XLs versatility beyond just 3D printing.

Signature Oak

If you’re at Formnext, our booth is your chance to see one of the just 250 units of the Signature Oak. This is Josef’s personal project, designed as a true “statement piece” you would be proud to display in your living room. The chassis is made from handcrafted, CNC-milled oak, representing a collaboration with the Jelínek woodworking company (est. 1897) that blends woodworking tradition with modern 3D printing.

Prusa USS Drybox

We’re showcasing our new Universal Storage System Drybox, or USS Drybox (yes, we watch too much Star Trek :)). What looks like a fairly simple airtight container has a couple of clever tricks up its sleeve!

It’s pretty unusual for a drybox to have a hole in the middle, but this not only allows it to be mounted directly on a spoolholder, but it also leaves very little free internal volume for moist air to occupy. Our internal testing shows it performs exceptionally well, even without silica gel (which can be inserted or replaced via dedicated door on the side).

It is made from hydrophobic polypropylene (PP), which is significantly less permeable to moisture than materials like polycarbonate (PC) that are often used in other dryboxes.

The rubber cap has a special slot for the filament to sit in. This is a shockingly important feature. It allows you to seal the drybox and get the filament out again, without having to open it (and let air moisture in). It’s also stackable! The idea is, you can put your dry spool inside and never have to take it out, while the spool lasts. Very handy!

We’ve just finished the final production test (with our own injection mould), and we expect to stock it on our eshop within the next weeks.

OpenPrintTag Material Database

Since its launch, the response to OpenPrintTag has been incredible. We’ve heard from dozens of manufacturers who are committing to use this open, rewritable, offline NFC standard for smart spools, and we love reading the community posts discussing the possibilities this opens. We’ve just released an update for the Prusa app – it can now both read and write OpenPrintTag, and even scan a QR code on a refill to update the tag with the correct information in seconds.

But you haven’t shown you everything – we are getting ready to release the OpenPrintTag Material Database. It’s a searchable library of materials, colors, properties, across all manufacturers. OpenPrintTag is designed to work fully offline, but the database enables enhanced functionality for software, slicers, and firmware. We’re putting the final touches to it now and plan to switch it live by the end of this year.

The Prusa Pro Lineup

Our industrial lineup brings professional performance to a user-friendly platform. Powerful machines for research labs, production lines, and engineering teams that need precision, repeatability, reliability around the clock, and strict security of data.

The HT90 is a large-format delta printer with an actively heated chamber up to 90 °C and a 500 °C hotend. It handles everything from fast PLA prototypes to aerospace-grade PEEK and PEI (Ultem), making it one of the most affordable industrial printers for high-performance materials.

We’ve established a new factory in the city of Hradec Kralove to have more space and higher capacity for the production of HT90.

The SLX is a next-generation MSLA 3D printer ecosystem built for industrial and medical applications. It includes a printer, a WX washing station, and a CX curing unit, forming a complete resin workflow with active chamber heating, automated material delivery, and fully enclosed solvent handling for maximum safety. Certified for a wide range of industrial and biocompatible resins, the SLX offers precise monitoring of every step in the process, from print to wash to cure, ensuring full traceability and repeatable results.

And the AFS (Automated Farm System), a fully automated 3D printing production platform for batch manufacturing, rapid prototyping, and research. Each module houses nine CoreXY printers, automated print removal, and Prusa Connect integration for scheduling and remote management.

All three machines are now shown in their final, production-ready versions, available for order. Our team is ready to show you these machines in person, submit price quotes, or schedule follow up meetings.
