Stratasys Inc

Our company has a 3D Connex 500 printer and for the most part it runs like a champ. We have been using it constantly over the last few years and really no issue. It has need to be serviced about once a year and as long as this is maintained it operates properly. It is nice to have in the when using it for development as you are able to make changes and save tremendous time by doing it in house instead of an outside service. A great machine and I would recommend it over the FDM anytime. A real time saver during development...

Strengths: 3D printing equipment, technical support, vendor training, customer service, experts in 3D printing technology for rapid prototypes, extensive website

Needs to improve: I have been dealing with Stratasys Inc. for over the last year and their technical support is slow to respond. In all fairness if you do not have a yearly contract they put you at the end of the que. The machines are extremely expensive; ex. $250K for our Connex 500 and the material and support is also expensive compared to an fused deposition modeler (FDM) machine. Anyway, for technical support, replacement parts, and supplies allow for a bit of time to acquire....

we used Stratasys in-house expertise in prototyping rather than outsourcing the function like we normally do and it cut our production time down by half. We started working with stratasys very early in the development when our project was still only in its petri dish stage. We were on a tight deadline to speed it up to its field testing stage. with Stratasys's in house project, we did this transition in 7 months. this was pretty remarkable and surprised our team given that we normally out source to other vendors sometimes across the country and the transition can take up to a year. They used their polyjet technique for the transition. Stratasys also implemented their 3D printing. We needed the in-house service to be accurate and easy to use and their 3D printing was the perfect entry point for us. The 3D printing provided us with our model accurately, quickly, cleanly and cost effectively.

Strengths: 3D printing, medical device prototype, polyjet technology, the 3D technology allowed us to test the technology thoroughly and customize as we go

Needs to improve: expensive

Our firm sourced Stratsys Inc to do some rapid prototyping on a few of our designs. We were recommended to them through word of mouth and they did a great job with our designs and had a really quick turnaround on the project. 3D printing is an area we have slowly been trying to integrate as the costs can be prohibitive at times, we are seeing the benefits in terms of speed and accuracy. Statasys had a fantastic customer service team as well - giving us updates and guidance on the process and level setting expectations. This is a great vendor and we totally recommend!

Strengths: 3d printing, customer service

Needs to improve: none

Our research division was iterating at a faster pace than our prototypes could construct models. We therefore were in need of a partner that could quickly help us prototype new products. Stratasys came highly recommended and had the added benefit that they had 3D printing capabilities that we were also looking for. From beginning to end, the employees over at Stratasys were professional and worked with us in a consulting manner to make sure we had the best product possible. I would highly recommend looking to Stratasys for your prototyping and 3D printing needs.

Strengths: Prototyping

Needs to improve: None

Great customer service and good quality products. Very convenient place to order rapid prototypes from.

Strengths: Great customer service & user-friendly interface no their website. After uploading the part file onto redeye website, someone from Stratasys actually emailed me warning me the features on my part might not fill in nicely and made the suggestion to try changing material. Shows how responsible they are in making sure the product you order meets your needs.

Needs to improve: I wish pricing per item would decrease as you increase the quantity of the item ordered.

We purchased the Mojo entry level printer. It is affordable and fast, and can print in many colors. It is very easy top use and doesn't take up to much space. It is good for concept prototyping. Good customer support after the sale. The sales staff did not try to oversell me on their products.

Strengths: High quality 3D printers, easy to use interface, good product support, helpful sales staff

Needs to improve: None

i have tried their systems a few times and the quality is pretty good. price is more than your entry level hobbyist makerbot like printers, but you get significantly improved quality

Strengths: rapid prototyping, quality

Needs to improve: none

Big player in the 3D Printing space. Product Line: Mojo, uPrint, Objet, Dimension, Fortus.

Strengths: FDM Thermoplastics, PolyJet Photopolymers, developing new resins. Expensive systems, but incredible output. Customer support is very responsive and helpful.

Needs to improve: Not many.

You need a good quality 3D printers or printer service

Strengths: Great 3D printers and a good selection on resins

Needs to improve: Takes a while to print but that's all 3D printers

Stratasys's connex systems have allowed me to prototype elastic parts with digital materials.

Strengths: Great selection of 3d printing equipment for multicolor and digital material printing

Needs to improve: None

none

Strengths: great variety of printing resins for different applications. easy system to use.

Needs to improve: the printer is slow slow slow. not high strength like deposition methods.
