(NASDAQ: SSYS) today announced that its parts-on-demand business, Stratasys Direct™, has been selected to take part in the U.S. Department of War’s (DoW) Joint Additive Manufacturing Acceptability (JAMA) IV Pilot Parts Program, a multimillion-dollar initiative to accelerate qualification and deployment of 3D-printed parts across military platforms and systems.\n\nThis press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260330521365/en/Stratasys has deployed thousands of systems across aerospace and defense productions environments worldwide.\nAs a Program of Record for the U.S. Air Force and Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), Stratasys continues to expand its role in advanced manufacturing across aerospace and defense production environments, building on the successful deployment of thousands of systems worldwide. Unlike aspirational additive manufacturing initiatives in defense, Stratasys Direct, the contract manufacturing division of Stratasys, delivers qualified production-scale parts to defense organizations for operational use across active platforms.\n\n\nDemand for additive manufacturing in defense continues to grow, driven by mission-critical requirements for accuracy, scalability, and resilience. DoW budget programs increasingly reference additive manufacturing, with funding rising 83% to $3.3 billion in fiscal year 2026 compared to fiscal year 2025. Industry analysts expect continued growth through the end of the decade as military organizations expand digital manufacturing for sustainment, supply chain resilience, and modernization.\n\n\nStratasys solutions also deliver measurable operational benefits across military programs. For example, the U.S. Air Force uses Stratasys throughout its C‑17 fleet to produce microvanes that improve aerodynamic efficiency, helping save an estimated $14 million in annual fuel costs, as well as 3D‑printed replacement components that meaningfully reduce lead times.\n\n\n“In 20...
