Stratasys has led the AM market for over 35 years. It continues to expand the role of additive manufacturing by delivering innovative, complete, end-to-end solutions that enable companies to reduce production lead times, optimize part performance, and scale manufacturing in ways not possible with traditional methods. By integrating advanced hardware, high-performance materials, intelligent software, and a robust partner network, Stratasys is making it easier for manufacturers to leverage the unique advantages of 3D printing to differentiate themselves in a highly competitive marketplace.

“Innovation at Stratasys is driven by the creativity of our teams combined with the ambition and endless ingenuity of our customers, who are reimagining what is possible for production with additive manufacturing,” said Dr. Yoav Zeif, CEO of Stratasys. “This recognition as one of the world’s most innovative companies is a testament to our commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions that enable manufacturers across the globe to achieve greater efficiency, quality and sustainability across the production lifecycle.”

“Our list of the Most Innovative Companies offers both a comprehensive look at innovation today and a playbook for the future,” said Fast Company editor-in-chief Brendan Vaughan. “This year, we recognize companies that are harnessing AI in deep and meaningful ways, brands that are turning customers into superfans by overdelivering for them, and challengers that are introducing bold ideas and vital competition to their industries. At a time when the world is rapidly shifting, these companies are charting the way forward.”

Stratasys offers a wide portfolio of solutions across five polymer technologies, enabling our customers access to the best option to address the evolving needs of modern manufacturing. For example, Stratasys continues to see momentum with the F3300™ industrial 3D printer. The F3300 delivers greater speed, accuracy, and reliability, offering manufacturers a scalable solution for additive manufacturing at production levels. Also, the recently launched Origin® Two printer enables cost-effective short-run production with unmatched precision, helping companies meet increasing demand for customized and limited-run products.

High-performance materials continue to expand the applications of additive manufacturing, and Stratasys' Antero® line of thermoplastics provides aerospace and industrial manufacturers with lightweight, durable alternatives to traditionally machined metals. Meanwhile, GrabCAD® Print Pro software simplifies print preparation and workflow management, helping manufacturers maximize efficiency and ensure repeatable, high-quality results.
