Insights
The expansion of validated materials and launch of a pre-owned marketplace represents a strategic shift in Stratasys' business model, though with immediate financial impact. The OpenAM approach could drive incremental revenue through specialized material sales and create new market opportunities in niche applications. The pre-owned marketplace initiative may help expand the customer base by offering more affordable entry points, but could potentially impact new machine sales.
This development positions Stratasys to better compete in the growing specialized materials market while promoting sustainability. However, the focus on low-quantity, niche materials suggests this won't significantly impact near-term financials. The strategy aligns with industry trends toward material flexibility and circular economy principles, potentially strengthening Stratasys' market position in the medium term.
Advancing Stratasys’ Open AM Approach with Tailored Materials and a Marketplace for Pre-Owned Machines
As part of the Stratasys OpenAM™ approach, iSQUARED and Stratasys are collaborating to offer “iSQUARED™ Validated Materials,” which accelerates access to a wider range of application-specific materials. These materials support needs such as limited editions, customization, unique colors, and specialized properties.
The new offering focuses on differentiated, low-quantity materials designed for niche use cases, rather than large-scale industrial applications. These materials ensure optimal performance and reliability across Stratasys’ diverse range of 3D printers, serving industries including aerospace, automotive, and healthcare.
Stratasys’ OpenAM approach grants power users and material developers granular control of the printing process, allowing them to print with any compatible resin to optimize prints and unlock new applications. For example they can fine-tune print parameters such as temperature, movement, scaling, and more for ultimate print control.
Additionally, iSQUARED is extending its material innovation to support a variety of additive platforms, broadening its impact across the industry.
“We are excited about this initiative and look forward to leveraging our years of expertise in 3D printing materials,” said Jan Michael Stepper, iSQUARED General Manager. “Our goal is to deliver materials specifically tailored to customers’ unique requirements, driving innovation and supporting their success in additive manufacturing. We are flexible, fast and can adapt very well to customer needs.”
In a complementary effort to promote sustainability and resource efficiency, iSQUARED is also establishing a dedicated marketplace for pre-owned Stratasys 3D printing systems. This initiative aligns with the Stratasys Mindful Manufacturing™ approach and both companies’ commitment to reducing environmental impact by giving used machines a second life, fostering a circular economy within additive manufacturing. The marketplace provides businesses with an affordable entry point into high-quality 3D printing solutions.
“These efforts mark a significant advancement in 3D printing for manufacturing,” said Rich Garrity, Chief Business Unit Officer, Stratasys. “By expanding material options, Stratasys and iSQUARED are delivering customer-specific, tailored solutions, enabling customized production processes, addressing key commercial and technical needs, to streamline requirements and add significant value to our customers.”
