Stratasys Proven Technology + OpenAM™ Stratasys expands on over 30 years of providing turnkey AM solutions including integrated hardware, materials, and software to work in complete alignment. Expanding possibilities in reliable AM OpenAM™ enables part tuning using open market or newly developed proprietary formulas plus Stratasys Preferred and Validated Materials
Industry Industry Challenge OpenAM™ Results Aerospace 3D Print EMI shielding for communication devices using material Stratasys does not stock to overcome design limitations and functional requirements. Using Additive for the applications in lightweighting the needed shielding. Use OpenAM™ with a custom material using Stratasys printers means printing will be repeatable and reliable at all locations. Sustainable Engineering Tool in sustainable manufacturing arsenal to reuse by reusing material scrap and reducing waste. ABS printed parts recycled into filament for a second use to reduce waste and save on new material costs. Rail Enlarge AM application of replacement parts for rolling stock that will meet EN45545-2. Qualify additional source of FR filament to meet EN45545-2 for production replacement parts for older rolling stock. Using Stratasys printers to build inventory reliably on demand Medical Using AM to print PEEK for medical device manufacturing tooling and implant research Currently Stratasys does not offer the required formulation of PEEK. OpenAM™ allows customized machine controls to successfully print the PEEK material of their choice. University Research New bio-filled material applications for defense department funded research OpenAM™ enables research of unique new materials on a reliable and repeatable Stratasys system to repeat and validate research findings 11 OpenAM™ to overcome industry challenges

Space Travel With Lockheed Martin Repeatable Parts on Manned Spacecraft CHALLENGE Parts need to be lightweight, strong and not outgas in space. Lack of consistency and quality can lengthen production time. The long process of making design updates or enhancements make meeting the time launch schedule difficult. SOLUTION [Antero™ 840CN03] This material also contains the high thermal, electro-static dissipative and low outgassing properties necessary for deep space. “ We’ve been able to see orders of magnitude savings both in cost and schedule on all of these parts because the part builds are very consistent, the material properties are well understood, and the build parameters are becoming better understood. ” Brian Kaplun, Additive Manufacturing Manager at Lockheed Martin Space
