Core offering

Stratasys manufactures and sells industrial polymer 3D printers, proprietary materials, and supporting software across six core additive manufacturing technologies (FDM, PolyJet, P3 DLP, SAF, SLA, MoldJet). It also operates Stratasys Direct, an on-demand contract manufacturing service bureau, and distributes the GrabCAD Print software ecosystem for print preparation, Digital Anatomy Creator for medical modeling, and OpenAM for fleet orchestration.

Product overview

Stratasys offers a multi-technology industrial additive manufacturing platform organized around five core 3D printing technologies — FDM, PolyJet, P3 DLP, SAF, and Stereolithography (SLA) — supplemented by 3DFashion and MoldJet specialty lines. Within each technology, Stratasys markets a catalog of named printers (e.g., F3300 in FDM, J850 Core and J5 DentaJet in PolyJet, Origin Two in P3 DLP, H350 in SAF, Neo Series in SLA) and an extensive materials portfolio spanning rigid, flexible, and biocompatible thermoplastics and photopolymers (ULTEM 1010, Antero, FDM Nylon, P3 MED Silicone 25A, TrueDent resin, RadioMatrix radiopaque material, SAF PA12, and FDM PA6/66-GF30-FR). The platform is unified by GrabCAD Print / GrabCAD Print Pro print-preparation software (which includes AI-driven Measurement-Based Warped Adaptive Modeling and the trinckle Additive App Suite), supplemented by Digital Anatomy Creator for medical modeling, OpenAM for multi-vendor fleet orchestration, and Stratasys Connectivity for IIoT. Service delivery is provided through Stratasys Direct, an on-demand contract manufacturing bureau spanning FDM, PolyJet, P3 DLP, SAF, SLA, SLS, MJF, and VCJ (Inkbit Vision-Controlled Jetting). The iAM Marketplace extends the platform with a marketplace for materials and solutions, while the pending MarkForged acquisition will add FFF, Continuous Carbon Fiber, and The Digital Forge software to the portfolio.

• EOS GmbH: EOS is a privately held German leader in industrial polymer and metal laser sintering (SLS/DMLS), directly competing with Stratasys in high-end industrial AM for aerospace, automotive, and medical applications.

Broad incumbents

• HP (Multi Jet Fusion): HP's Multi Jet Fusion platform competes directly with Stratasys' SAF technology in production polymer powder-bed fusion, and HP's broader industrial footprint makes it a broad incumbent in digital manufacturing.

Emerging players

• Formlabs: Formlabs is a fast-growing competitor in professional SLA and SLS 3D printing, increasingly penetrating dental, medical, and engineering customers with lower-cost systems that overlap with Stratasys' mid-market positioning.
• Carbon (now Core Systems): Carbon's Digital Light Synthesis platform competes with Stratasys' P3 DLP in production polymer AM, particularly in dental, consumer, and automotive end-use parts, with a focus on high-volume production applications.

Others

• Nano Dimension: Nano Dimension is a competitor in industrial AM and a prior strategic shareholder of Stratasys; the company is divesting MarkForged to Stratasys and refocusing its portfolio, making it an industry participant with historical rather than ongoing direct competitive overlap.
