Stratasys invented its patented FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) technology in 1988 and has led the development of 3D printing technology ever since. Stratasys uses its FDM technology in both its Dimension 3D Printers, as well as its Fortus 3D Production Systems, developed for direct digital manufacturing and precision rapid prototyping.
Stratasys provides the global market with sales and service organizations in North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Australia. Through its network of certified value-added resellers and distributors, Stratasys can offer the most responsive, local support across the globe.
Stratasys holds more than 180 granted or pending additive fabrication patents globally. Stratasys products are used in the aerospace, defense, automotive, medical, business & industrial equipment, education, architecture, and consumer-products markets.
Stratasys became ISO 9001:2008 certified in January, 2011, the first company in the additive manufacturing industry to become ISO certified. The certification recognizes that policies, procedures and practices of our company ensure consistent, top-quality products and services for customers worldwide. With this certification, our customers can be confident in our dedication to maintaining the highest efficiency and responsiveness in achieving our ultimate goal - customer satisfaction
Dimension is a brand of 3D printers by Stratasys that offers CAD (computer-aided-design) users a low-cost, networked alternative for printing functional 3D models from the desktop. The printers build models layer-by-layer using ABS plastic, one of the most widely used thermoplastics in today's injection-molded products. Dimension 3D printers allow users to evaluate design concepts and test models for form, fit and functionality.
Dimension and Stratasys have installed more 3D printing, prototyping and direct digital manufacturing systems than any other company in the world.
Founded in 1993, Sensable is a leading developer of 3D touch-enabled (force feedback) solutions and technology that allow users to not only see and hear an on-screen computer application, but to actually "feel" it. The company evolved from undergraduate research done at MIT in the 1990s by industry pioneers Thomas Massie and Dr. Kenneth Salisbury. With 44 patents granted and over 9,000 systems installed worldwide, Sensable's haptic technology is being used in applications ranging from surgical simulation and stroke rehabilitation, to dental restorations, to designing toys and footwear; as well as a range of research and robotic applications. The company markets its own 3D modeling solutions as well as its haptic devices and developer toolkits to medical, dental, design, and manufacturing companies; educational and research institutions; and OEMs.
