Stratasys Transforms the Market with Origin One Industrial 3D Printer
P3-powered Origin One 3D printers support a growing portfolio of high-performance materials with industry-leading accuracy, repeatability and production time
Stratasys, a leading manufacturer of polymer 3D printing solutions, today introduced the Stratasys Origin® One 3D printer, designed for end-user applications. The Origin One™ system uses proprietary P3™ technology to produce parts in a wide range of high-performance materials with industry-leading accuracy, repeatability and exceptional build time. Stratasys plans to begin shipping the devices worldwide in May.
Stratasys acquired Origin in December 2020, a key step in its strategy to become a leader in polymer 3D printing. The Stratasys Origin One is the first 3D printer to be created as a result of the acquisition. It is an evolution of the existing Origin One, featuring a larger and more usable workspace, as well as software and hardware workflow updates for ease of use, increased performance and higher utilization. Starting in the fourth quarter, when Stratasys begins shipping the Origin One, software updates will be available to existing installations via a cloud-based update.

TE Connectivity, an industry leader in connectors and sensors, was one of Origin’s first customers and now owns several machines. TE collaborated with Origin and Henkel to develop an aerospace photopolymer that passed rigorous environmental testing required by the industry. Today, TE has produced thousands of parts using the Origin One 3D printer, including its first 3D-printed aerospace product, the 369 Series Connector Holder, designed to hold connectors together on aircraft.
“Stratasys and Origin have been great partners in helping us achieve these goals and in showing us the potential of additive manufacturing for tens of thousands of parts. We are seeing how Stratasys’ hardware, software and materials complement each other, making industrial production directly with additive manufacturing a reality for us. We believe this will help TE Connectivity become a more agile and cost-effective partner for many of the world’s leading computer manufacturers, from automotive to aerospace to appliances, as we work to build a more connected future.”
High temperature resistant elastomeric general purpose and medical grade materials
Stratasys internally estimates that there is a $3.7 billion additive manufacturing opportunity by 2025 for manufacturing-oriented polymer applications that are well-suited to the Origin One 3D printer. These include manufacturing parts and tools for automotive, aerospace, military, consumer products and medical devices. A dedicated dental product version will be introduced later this year.
“We believe our Origin One 3D printers with P3 technology are ideal for solving a wide range of on-demand manufacturing applications on a global scale,” said Chris Prucha, vice president of P3 R&D and product management at Stratasys and co-founder of Origin. “Stratasys has given the Origin team the opportunity to accelerate the adoption of this amazing technology to truly transform manufacturing across industries. In fact, it is already happening, with positive customer feedback and very strong demand.”
The Stratasys Origin One 3D printer has a build volume of 192 x 108 x 370 mm and can print details as small as 50 microns. The repertoire of certified, third-party materials includes 10 industrial base materials, including high-temperature, resistant, elastomeric, general-purpose and medical-grade materials.
