Stratasys OpenAM: Unlocking Material Innovation in 3D Printing

Stratasys OpenAM is an advanced software solution that allows users to take full control of the additive manufacturing process on Stratasys 3D printers. Designed for those looking to push the boundaries of material development and expand their 3D printing applications, OpenAM enables users to modify and fine-tune machine parameters to work with third-party materials or custom formulations. This level of flexibility is ideal for industries like aerospace, automotive, and research institutions, where specific material properties are crucial.
One of the key benefits of OpenAM is its ability to give users access to the inner workings of Stratasys printers, enabling advanced control over critical printing parameters such as temperature and extrusion rates. This opens up the potential to experiment with new materials, optimize production processes, and develop bespoke materials that suit unique project requirements.
For organizations focused on innovation, Stratasys OpenAM is a powerful tool. It not only allows for material experimentation but also helps reduce costs by enabling the use of non-proprietary materials, without compromising the performance and reliability of Stratasys printers. Whether used for research and development or production, OpenAM offers an unprecedented level of control and customization in 3D printing.

iSQUARED Validated Materials for Stratasys 3D Printers

iSQUARED is continuously exploring the market for new materials that complement the Stratasys 3D printing material portfolio. By identifying high-potential materials that offer enhanced performance, flexibility, or specialized characteristics, iSQUARED aims to broaden the range of applications possible with Stratasys 3D printers. This strategic approach helps businesses access cutting-edge materials for more advanced and customized additive manufacturing solutions.
Once suitable materials are identified, iSQUARED takes a hands-on approach to ensure seamless integration with Stratasys systems. Through expert parameter tuning, iSQUARED fine-tunes critical machine settings, such as temperature, layer height, and extrusion rates, to optimize the performance of these new materials. This ensures that every material used on a Stratasys printer delivers consistent, high-quality results, whether in prototyping or full-scale production.
In addition to parameter optimization, material development plays a central role in iSQUARED’s process. We are working closely with clients to adapt and refine new materials, ensuring they meet specific application requirements, such as durability, strength, or heat resistance. Once development is complete, iSQUARED facilitates the production process.
Finally, iSQUARED ensures these materials are fully integrated into Stratasys workflows by adding them to the GrabCAD Print software. The pre-configured settings for each material are uploaded, allowing users to easily select and print with the new materials, backed by iSQUARED’s expertise and parameter optimization. This streamlined approach makes adopting new materials simpler and more efficient for companies leveraging Stratasys technology.
