January Special Focus Issue: Design for Additive
In this Special Focus Issue of Digital Engineering, learn about the latest advancements in design for additive manufacturing, including new software tools, additive in automotive, custom medical devices, and more.
iSQUARED, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stratasys, announces an expansion of its portfolio of materials validated for use in Stratasys 3D printers, alongside the launch of a marketplace for pre-owned Stratasys machines.
As part of the Stratasys OpenAM approach, iSQUARED and Stratasys are collaborating to offer “iSQUARED Validated Materials," which increases access to a range of application-specific materials. These materials support limited editions, customization, colors, and specialized properties.
The new offering focuses on differentiated, low-quantity materials designed for niche use cases, rather than large-scale industrial applications. These materials ensure optimal performance across Stratasys’ range of 3D printers, serving industries including aerospace, automotive, and healthcare, Stratasys reports.
Stratasys’ OpenAM approach grantsmaterial developers granular control of the printing process, allowing them to print with any compatible resin to optimize prints, according to Stratasys.
Additionally, iSQUARED is extending its material offering to support a variety of additive platforms, Stratasys notes.
In a complementary effort for sustainability and resource efficiency, iSQUARED is establishing a marketplace for pre-owned Stratasys 3D printing systems. This initiative aligns with the Stratasys Mindful Manufacturing approach and both companies’ commitment to reducing environmental impact by giving used machines a second life. The marketplace provides businesses with an affordable entry point into 3D printing solutions.
“These efforts mark a significant advancement in 3D printing for manufacturing,” says Rich Garrity, chief business unit officer, Stratasys. “By expanding material options, Stratasys and iSQUARED are delivering customer-specific, tailored solutions, enabling customized production processes, addressing key commercial and technical needs, to streamline requirements and add significant value to our customers.”
