MINNETONKA, MN, and REHOVOT, Israel – Stratasys introduced new software, materials, and system enhancements to support additive manufacturing for production parts. The update improves design workflows, system reliability, and material options, helping manufacturers shift parts and tooling from traditional processes to additive production, reducing costs.
“Manufacturers are seeking more applications for additive manufacturing, and that’s exactly what these innovations are designed to provide,” said Rich Garrity, president, chief business unit officer. “Whether it’s designing tools faster, producing high-performance parts, or getting more accuracy out of production systems, we’re giving teams practical ways to put additive to work every day.”
Engineering-Focused PolyJet Performance with J850 Core
Stratasys introduced updates across its PolyJet systems, Origin materials, GrabCAD software, and SAF materials, targeting additive manufacturing for production and engineering workflows.
The J850 Core printer expands the PolyJet lineup with a lower-cost system for functional prototyping. It supports rigid, flexible, transparent, and ToughONE materials and uses a large build tray with high-speed print modes. The system produces enclosures, housings, jigs, fixtures, and other functional components, and is scheduled for booking by the end of April.
“The J850 Core printer is built for how PolyJet is used today by engineering teams that need to move fast and validate parts every day,” said Garrity. “It brings the performance and material capabilities customers expect, at a practical price point that supports the ability to scale across more teams and more applications.”
P3 MED Silicone 25A Offers Biocompatible Patient-Specific Applications
Stratasys and Shin-Etsu introduced P3 MED Silicone 25A for Origin printers. The material meets ISO 10993 standards and provides elasticity, durability, and resistance to heat, chemicals, and aging. It supports production of patient-specific devices such as hearing aids, CPAP masks, orthotics, and prosthetics.
“P3 MED Silicone 25A opens new possibilities for patient-specific devices and low-volume medical production,” said Erez Ben Zvi, vice president, healthcare, Stratasys. “Combining authentic silicone properties with biocompatibility on the Origin system provides manufacturers the ability to produce durable, high-precision parts without molds or tooling, making additive manufacturing more practical and cost-effective for healthcare applications.”
GrabCAD Software + Additive App Suite Lowers Barriers to Efficient Manufacturing
Stratasys also developed the Additive App Suite with trinckle, integrating automated design tools into GrabCAD Print and GrabCAD Print Pro. The suite includes apps for clamping jaws, shadow boards, and drill guides, allowing engineers to generate tooling and move from automated design to print-ready production. The initial release includes 10 apps, with expansion to 15 planned by Formnext 2026 in November.
“By transforming GrabCAD Print into a platform that guides engineers through automated, production-ready workflows, we’re making additive manufacturing faster and more accessible across the factory floor,” said Victor Gerdes, vice president, software, Stratasys. “The Additive App Suite allows teams to go from a production problem to a print-ready solution in minutes, not days, expanding the impact of AM beyond the lab.”
SAF PA12 – Powered by Evonik Delivers Cost-Efficient Industrial Production
Stratasys introduced SAF PA12 powered by Evonik for powder bed fusion systems. The material reduces total cost of ownership by up to 14% compared with existing SAF PA12 materials and produces dimensionally accurate parts with consistent build quality, supporting industrial manufacturing.
“The new SAF PA12 delivers production-grade performance for industrial additive manufacturing, with strong, resilient, and dimensionally accurate parts with consistent quality,” said Neil Hopkinson, vice president, SAF Technology, Stratasys. “By combining reliability with lower operating costs, manufacturers can confidently scale production applications, streamline workflows, and expand the use of additive manufacturing across multiple parts and processes.”
