After Stratasys’ incursion in the digital dentistry field, Stratasys is currently involving into a new project: a metal additive manufacturing platform. The platform’s goal intend to become a viable manufacturing technology to disrupt standard manufacturing techniques.
3D printing takes at least three major advantages:
freedom of design,
simplify supply chain,
less production costs.
Although the fact that metal 3D printing is a sector with great potential in the industry (global market would reach $12 billion by 2028), challenges remain regarding the applications of this type of technology.
“We are extremely excited to announce our development of this new additive manufacturing platform, targeting short-run production applications for a variety of industries, including automotive, aerospace, defense, machining, and metal foundries,”
-Ilan Levin, CEO of Stratasys.
The Stratasys’ new platform promises to expose the new metal AM industry challenges. It has been developed incorporating the Company’s proprietary jetting technology, over the past several years. The platform was designed from inception to provide the values of 3D printing for short-run production, while overcoming material limitations of currently available metal-based additive manufacturing systems.
“We believe that this platform will meaningfully expand our addressable markets for the long term and provide our customers with an effective means to realize the values of additive manufacturing for powder metallurgy applications.”, said Levin.
