Because of Stratasys’ dedicated focus on additive manufacturing and relationships with many of the world’s leading companies, the company is well-positioned to be the primary AM platform provider for its customers.\n\nResearch firm SmarTech Analysis has projected that the total global additive manufacturing software market will reach $3.3 billion by 2026, up from less than $500 million in 20201 as the overall additive manufacturing market continues to scale. The new platform provides Stratasys with the opportunity to strengthen its leadership position in the additive manufacturing industry through this growing addressable market.\n\n“We see manufacturers moving their 3D printing operations from the lab to the production floor, and that significantly increases operational requiremen...
