Stratasys
Stratasys Ltd. is a 3D printing company that produces 3D printers and 3D production systems, offering additive manufacturing solutions. Founded in 1989 by Scott Crump, the company is headquartered in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, and Rehovot, Israel.
Stratasys develops two primary 3D printing technologies: Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) and PolyJet. FDM technology builds parts layer by layer from thermoplastic materials, while PolyJet technology jets layers of liquid photopolymers that are then cured with UV light.
The company's products are used across various industries, including aerospace, automotive, healthcare, consumer products, and education, for prototyping, tooling, and production parts.
Stratasys acquired Objet Ltd., another 3D printing company, in 2012, integrating Objet's PolyJet technology into its product portfolio. The company is publicly traded on the Nasdaq stock exchange under the ticker symbol SSYS.
Stratasys offers a range of 3D printing materials, including thermoplastics, photopolymers, and composite materials, tailored to specific applications and industries. Their materials are designed to provide varying levels of strength, durability, flexibility, and heat resistance.
The company provides software solutions for 3D printing workflow management, including build preparation, print scheduling, and remote monitoring. These software tools aim to streamline the additive manufacturing process and enhance efficiency.
