Direct digital manufacturing is the process of using additive manufacturing (or 3D printing) systems for the purpose of production, as opposed to prototyping. Stratasys views direct digital manufacturing as a growth area, and believes that in the future, production applications could grow even faster than prototyping applications. Stratasys’ Fortus 3D Production Systems are designed primarily for production applications.

Stratasys Ltd. (NASDAQ: SSYS), headquartered in Minneapolis, Minn. and Rehovot, Israel, manufactures 3D printers and materials for prototyping and production. The company’s patented FDM® and PolyJet® processes produce prototypes and manufactured goods directly from 3D CAD files or other 3D content. Systems include 3D printers for idea development, prototyping and direct digital manufacturing. Stratasys subsidiaries include MakerBot and Solidscape, and the company operates the RedEye digital-manufacturing service. Stratasys has more than 1700 employees, holds over 500 granted or pending additive manufacturing patents globally, and has received more than 20 awards for its technology and leadership.
