Insights
Stratasys' new Origin Two 3D printer with Origin Cure represents a significant advancement in additive manufacturing for short production runs. The system's ability to achieve +/- 50 µm accuracy and 93% repeatability across printers is impressive, rivaling injection molding quality. This could be a game-changer for industries like aerospace and automotive, where precision is crucial.
The heated chamber supporting materials with up to 300°C HDT expands the range of high-performance applications. Combined with the 20 mm/hour print speed, this system offers a compelling alternative to traditional manufacturing methods for low-volume production. However, the true test will be in real-world adoption and long-term reliability in production environments.
This innovation could significantly impact manufacturing economics. By eliminating high setup and tooling costs associated with traditional methods, Stratasys' solution potentially lowers the barrier to entry for small-batch production. This aligns with the trend towards more agile, on-demand manufacturing models.
The ability to bring production in-house and improve inventory management could lead to substantial cost savings for manufacturers. However, the initial investment in this technology and the learning curve for implementation should be considered. The true economic benefit will depend on how effectively companies can integrate this solution into their existing workflows and supply chains.
The Origin Two's 385-nanometer wavelength capability is noteworthy, supporting a wide range of high-performance materials including high-temperature resins and high-viscosity formulations. This versatility is important for expanding the application scope of additive manufacturing in industrial settings.
The system's ability to achieve surface finish smoothness of up to RA 3 µm is particularly impressive, as surface quality has been a historical limitation of 3D printing. This advancement could open doors for applications where aesthetics and functional surface properties are critical, potentially disrupting traditional manufacturing processes in sectors like consumer products and medical devices.

Traditional high-volume manufacturing is under pressure due to a myriad of challenges, such as supply chain disruptions, material shortages, and changing consumer preferences. There is a growing demand for low-volume production solutions to offset the costs of mass production. Additive manufacturing with the new Origin Two is designed to eliminate the high setup and tooling costs typical for low to medium volume production, while meeting customers’ most stringent precision requirements.
The new Origin Two, with Origin Cure, aims to address the key pain points by enabling manufacturers to:
- Ensure that end parts meet required properties by maintaining stringent quality controls
- Bring production in-house, thereby reducing reliance on third parties
- Improve inventory management and lower warehousing costs with on-demand delivery of spare parts
- Consolidate part manufacturing into a single process with better consistency
“Additive manufacturing has grown to be a critical component of production at any scale on the manufacturing floor,” said Rani Hagag, Chief Healthcare and Consumer Business Officer, Stratasys. “With the new Origin® solution, manufacturers in need of low volume, high precision parts now have an alternative to mass production that can meet their most stringent requirements, something which was not possible with additive before.”
The new solution is designed to achieve consistently higher accuracy of +/- 50 µm, critical for industries such as connectors, aerospace and automotive. For applications such as seals and gaskets, housings and window parts, it provides additional essential features including:
-
Achieving repeatability of more than
93% within +/- 50 µm across Origin Two printers, and surface finish smoothness of up to RA 3 µm, while maintaining high-print speeds up to 20 mm/hour. - The heated chamber of the Origin Two enables reliable printing of materials with a Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) of up to 300°C, making it suitable for a wide range of high-performance applications.
- Running on a 385-nanometer wavelength, the Origin Two system supports a broad range of high-performance materials, from high-temperature resins to high-viscosity formulations.
"Additive manufacturing is becoming increasingly valuable for low production volumes in the manufacturing sector,” said Ryan Martin, Senior Research Director, ABI Research. “Manufacturers are using 3D printing for low-volume and custom parts, which helps reduce lead times and waste. This allows for greater flexibility and cost efficiency, supporting both prototyping and on-demand production. As a result, additive manufacturing is proving to be a practical solution for companies looking to adapt quickly to market needs and reduce inventory costs."
