Stratasys has introduced a Post‑Processing Partnership Program that bundles its industrial printers—such as the F900—with PostProcess Technologies’ automated support‑removal and finishing equipment. The arrangement allows customers to acquire, install, and service the post‑processing gear through a single Stratasys purchase order, ensuring full compatibility with the company’s FDM, PolyJet, SLA, and P3 platforms.
The program is designed to eliminate the manual, time‑consuming steps that often bottleneck additive manufacturing lines. By providing validated, integrated post‑processing solutions, Stratasys aims to reduce cycle times, lower labor costs, and improve part consistency, thereby increasing throughput and customer satisfaction across high‑value markets like automotive, aerospace, and medical devices.
Stratasys’ recent financial performance has been mixed: FY 2024 revenue fell compared with FY 2023, and Q4 2024 revenue was down 3.8% year‑over‑year. Q1 2025 revenue was $136 million versus $144.1 million in Q1 2024. Despite these declines, the company maintains a healthy balance sheet with no debt and secured a $120 million investment from Fortissimo Capital. The partnership is expected to boost consumables revenue and deepen customer lock‑in, supporting the company’s strategy to generate recurring revenue from end‑to‑end workflows.
Rich Garrity, Chief Industrial Business Officer, said the initiative “addresses a critical pain point for customers who need to move from production to finishing without adding complexity.” Jeff Mize, CEO of PostProcess Technologies, added that the deal “deepens our alignment with the industry leader and expands our commercial reach, making it easier for customers to deploy proven post‑processing solutions as part of a unified additive manufacturing workflow.”
The partnership aligns with a broader industry shift toward integrated additive manufacturing ecosystems. Stratasys has been positioning itself not just as a printer supplier but as a comprehensive workflow provider, and this program reinforces that trajectory. By simplifying post‑processing, the company can differentiate itself from competitors that still rely on fragmented solutions, potentially capturing a larger share of the industrial AM market.
