You can tell we're getting close to SolidWorks World 2012<\/a> now because our partners are sending in their profile responses fast and furious. Today, we hear from Stratasys. If you're at the event later this month, stop by and say hi.<\/p>\n

1. Tell us a little bit about Stratasys
<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stratasys manufacturers five lines of 3D printers used for prototyping and production, and it operates a digital manufacturing service, called RedEye on Demand. Three of the 3D printer lines carry Stratasys name brands: Fortus, Dimension, and uPrint. We are an OEM manufacturer for HP\u2019s DesignJet3D line of 3D printers, and we manufacture the Solidscape 3D printer line. Stratasys is one of the original additive manufacturing system makers, and has been in business since 1991. <\/p>\n

2. How can your printers help make a SolidWorks user\u2019s life easier?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Having a 3D printer at your desk or around the corner lets you bring your CAD ideas to life and examine them for form, fit, and functional performance. Customers say that just having easy access to a 3D printer has helped them design better, design faster, and improve their products. Users have even reported that they\u2019ve come up with product ideas that would have been impossible to conceive of before their exposure to 3D printing.<\/p>\n
