Stratasys Ltd. is offering a new loyalty and discount program for Stratasys service bureau customers. The Stratasys Parts Provider Network (PPN) provides access to volume discounts on Stratasys systems, materials, service contracts and software, as well as wholesale pricing for on-demand parts printed through Stratasys Direct Manufacturing. Since launching the Stratasys Parts Provider Network in early 2022 more than 30 global service bureaus have joined the PPN.
“Stratasys recognizes the integral role service bureaus play in transforming global manufacturing, and our Parts Provider Network demonstrates our commitment to supporting their unique business needs,” says Pat Carey, senior vice president of Strategic Growth for Stratasys. “With five additive manufacturing technologies, we can provide PPN members with access to a robust portfolio of solutions to expand their offerings, increase their market share and provide their end customers with solutions to meet their additive manufacturing goals.”
Members experience operations with a program that rewards their growth, based on three tiers starting at $100,000 a year in purchases. Members have access to a special online hub for ordering additive manufacturing materials, a PPN class of service maintenance across Stratasys’ five polymer technologies, and a 75% discount on software integration for an improved production workflow. The program allows members to aggregate their purchases for increased volume discounts.
In addition to discounts, the Parts Provider Network gives members access to exclusive education and networking opportunities. Stratasys also is investing in growing the partnership between service bureau customers and Stratasys Direct Manufacturing to facilitate an insourcing / outsourcing model for access to additive manufacturing technologies or materials not offered in-house.
