471 Stratasys Testimonials

“We provide the people, processes and technology to help healthcare providers incorporate 3D printing at their facility. Whether you want to simply order a patient-specific medical model, or set up a fully-staffed, on-site lab, RICOH offers the expertise to make this invaluable tool more accessible.”

“Product design is about putting the users first – we’re trying to create something that makes their life easier, and a little bit more seamless.”

“The 3D printer has been a game-changer for us. The ability to 3D print curved production tools in robust materials made us realize the importance of having tools that perfectly fit the panels. Not only does it make the work of our operators much easier, it frees up resources and increases our overall productivity.”

“None of this would have been feasible without 3D printing. We printed whatever parts we could because we didn’t want to send it to manufacturing and lose control over the timing and the quality. There’s a real benefit to having a part in your hand and evaluating it with very little effort or manpower.”

“We’ve used [3D printing] for tooling new and replacement parts, improving the factory line, and creating custom-made parts and functional prototypes to accelerate the decision-making process. Its immediate and positive impact is reflected in the fact that in the first year of integrating the machine, we more than made a return on our investment.”

“Athletes are not engineers. So I needed to translate their words into several prototypes as quickly as I could. Without 3D printing, it would not have been possible.”

“We do not want to compromise accuracy for speed. Stratasys’ 3D Printers assure us that we can have both.”

“We expect that the study will show that the neural triage device will protect student athletes from injury and make contact sports safer.”

“3D printing definitely offered us a huge advantage over other labs when it comes to being able to print models from intra-oral scanners. It definitely brought us new customers.”

“[Students] love to see what’s on the screen come to life, and because of the iterative nature of the 3D printing process, they can design and build again, which gives them motivation to understand analysis techniques.”

“We tried to understand why nature came up with these designs, which we are testing with 3D printed prototypes. We call these biomimetic composites, and while this is an ongoing investigation, we have already identified many different applications.”

“Having this array of 3D printers is immensely helpful for verifying designs and testing out early prototypes in order to arrive at the design we want to move forward with. Four design iterations can amount to several months of time without 3D printing. Now, we can have the part in three days as opposed to three weeks if we had to have it machined.”

“They’re the internal mounting fixtures inside the housing. Think of a post of a C-clamp you would put on the edge of something and screw it down to hold it in place to be used as a guide so that the wires travel a certain path.”

“The ability to produce life-like medical models in-house on our Stratasys 3D printer saves three to four hours in OR time per surgery, which at a cost of £5,000 an hour, is a substantial cost saving.”

“To maximize our budget and impact we focused on the most sophisticated 3D printers possible. If we don’t have state-of-the-art equipment, there’s no reason for businesses to come to us.”
