Combined with the high cost of AM powders, this means each part is expensive, with a total cost of ownership that is hard to justify," said Rafie Grinvald, Director of Product Marketing and Management, Stratasys. "Our new platform is designed to transform the current metals additive manufacturing landscape – presenting a viable alternative to typical production methods – and helping customers dramatically reduce the costs of creating reliable, consistent production-grade, metal parts for short-run applications." Stratasys' advanced metals platform combines the power of additive manufacturing with short-run metals parts production. Developed internally over the past several years, Stratasys' platform incorporates the company's proprietary jetting technology and commonly used powder metallurgy, starting with offering Aluminium powders.
