Stratasys announced its new Post Processing Partnership Program to help customers access validated post-processing solutions for additive manufacturing workflows. The company also announced a commercial agreement with PostProcess Technologies, which will be the first partner in the program.
Post-processing involves cleaning, resin removal, support removal, smoothing, curing, or finishing printed parts, which can be complicated, manual, and time‑consuming. Customers often must research vendors on their own, make separate purchases, and hope everything works well together. The Post Processing Partnership Program is intended to reduce the complexity customers face when researching, selecting, and purchasing post-processing technologies.
Through the program, Stratasys curates and validates third-party solutions that are guaranteed to work with its systems, allowing customers to purchase post-processing equipment alongside Stratasys software, materials, printers, and services through Stratasys channels. This approach simplifies procurement, reduces risk, and helps customers deploy optimized workflows more efficiently.
Under the commercial agreement, Stratasys will offer validated post-processing solutions from PostProcess Technologies through its global sales channels, enabling customers to purchase post-processing equipment under a single Stratasys purchase order alongside their Stratasys systems. Installation, service and ongoing support will be provided directly by PostProcess Technologies, helping ensure solutions are optimized for use with Stratasys platforms while easing the operational and procurement burden for customers.
PostProcess Technologies’ portfolio supports multiple Stratasys technologies, including FDM, PolyJet, SLA, and P3, providing automated post-processing solutions designed to improve consistency, throughput and part quality across both prototyping and production environments. These capabilities are particularly valuable for customers in industries such as automotive, aerospace, dental, and consumer goods, where post-processing can represent a significant portion of overall additive manufacturing time and cost.
The Post Processing Partnership Program, including the initial post-processing offerings from PostProcess Technologies, is available now: support.stratasys.com/en/Printers/Post-Processing-Partnership-Program.
