"Additive manufacturing allowed us to overcome tooling and traditional manufacturing limitations and produce unusually shaped parts on demand, cost-effectively. We had the parts produced and in our hands within several days – something that would have been physically impossible without Stratasys’ 3D printers."

“You can see it in their eyes. They don’t put their hand over their mouth any longer. This is a way that some people go get a job. It’s the first time they’ve had the confidence to feel that they could go out and present themselves in a way that …

"3D printing transformed the way we conduct experiments. It is now much easier to create precise models for validating hypotheses."

“Our motto with 3D printing is: If you can think it, we can design it and we can print it.”

“The capability of the machine is ideal for our requirements and has proven to be an irreplaceable part of the R&D process.”

“So far we have not found anything we cannot do with FDM.”

"3D printing offers substantial time savings. It only requires a few minutes of setup time and we can print as many as four high-precision jobs a day.”

“Before 3D printing we would have to wait weeks for an outsourced prototype, and then start again if the design needed modifications. Now we print overnight and have our prototype ready in the morning.”

“FDM is an ideal technology for implant manufacturing because it can produce strong, durable, biocompatible parts with the right physical properties.”

“It’s all about changing the mind-set of students. How they go about constructing things shifts dramatically once they’ve used a 3D printer. It really is construction without limitation.”

“We’re trying to update these cars as fast as possible. Being able to 3D print components, we can quickly run through multiple iterations and it saves a lot of time.”

“When we first started using 3D printing in the early 2000s, we were mainly using it to support our wind tunnel model program. Since then, it’s evolved into many different things. It’s evolved into jigs and fixtures, washout tooling in our composites department and race car components.”

“Typically, all of our competitors end up with the same solution at some point in time. But we need to be on to the next solution, and Stratasys helps us get to the next solution quicker.”

"Additive manufacturing offers significant opportunities to decrease spare-part inventory, reduce the supply chain and slash costs. The ability to print a spare parts ondemand offers manufacturers a rapid solution that ensures production continuity and, most importantly, help safeguard revenues.”

“3D printing will make it possible to build mock-up engine components so the platform and manufacturing teams can provide feedback at a much earlier stage in the development process.”
