3D printed parts
3D printing allows you to produce end-use parts on demand, without the tooling costs and long lead times of traditional machining and injection molding.
Break free from the limitations of traditional manufacturing
Digital manufacturing can reduce inventory requirements, simplify the supply chain, and make one-off and medium-run production scalable.
Why is it beneficial for end-use parts?
- Cost-effectiveness: no expensive tooling/casting dies.
- Design freedom: complex geometries can also be manufactured.
- Material saving: only the necessary material is used.
- Customization: pieces that can be personalized at no extra cost.
- Supply chain simplification: digital inventory, on-demand manufacturing.

Frequently Asked Questions about 3D Printing
Post-processing can include steps such as sanding, painting or coating to achieve the desired surface quality and mechanical properties.
3D printing can be more environmentally friendly than traditional manufacturing, as it reduces material waste and allows parts to be manufactured locally, thus reducing emissions from transportation.
3D printed production parts are functional, customer-ready components that are manufactured directly from digital designs. They enable faster turnaround times, lower costs, and easier design updates for low- to medium-volume manufacturing.
As an additive process, there is no need to use molds, templates, or fixtures to produce 3D printed manufacturing parts.
Shorter lead times, without tooling delays
Lower part costs for small and medium-sized batches
Greater design freedom for complex or lightweight parts
Digital inventory and on-demand manufacturing
Streamlined supply chains with localized or just-in-time manufacturing
FDM®: Industrial-grade thermoplastics for large, durable parts
SAF® (H350®): High-volume, repeatable production of functional parts
P3™ DLP: Tight tolerances and excellent surface quality
SLA (Neo®): Parts with excellent detail and surface quality
Stratasys offers materials such as ABS, ASA, PC, Nylon, ULTEM™, carbon fiber composites, elastomers like TPU, and more. Depending on your application, you can filter by strength, heat resistance, flexibility, and/or conformance.
Many parts can be printed within 1-2 days, especially for small batches. For larger batches or applications with certification requirements, this may take longer, but is still significantly faster than traditional production times.
The aerospace, automotive, consumer goods, industrial equipment, and medical industries all benefit from using additive manufacturing as part of their manufacturing component inventory.
