Cigna earnings beat by $0.04, revenue topped estimates
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. & REHOVOT, Israel - Stratasys Ltd. (NASDAQ: SSYS), a leader in 3D printing solutions, has announced a partnership with trinckle 3D GmbH, a German software company. The collaboration will see the integration of trinckle’s fixturemate™ software into Stratasys’ GrabCAD Print™ Pro software package, aiming to simplify the creation of custom 3D-printed fixtures and reduce lead times and costs for manufacturers.
The integration allows users without Computer-Aided Design (CAD) expertise to design and configure custom fixtures, which are essential in manufacturing for holding parts securely during processes like machining and inspection. This partnership is expected to broaden the user base of GrabCAD Print Pro and respond to the increasing demand for fixture and tooling applications across various industries. With annual revenue of $572.5 million and a current ratio of 3.07, Stratasys demonstrates strong operational capacity to support this expansion.
Victor Gerdes, Vice President of Software at Stratasys, emphasized the benefits of the integration, highlighting the potential savings in time and workforce development. He noted that customers could now use their solutions for both print preparation and critical design tasks without the need for specialized CAD skills.
The fixturemate software utilizes intelligent automation to design custom fixtures, optimizing fixture geometry based on the shape of the part to be held. This is expected to accelerate production workflows, reduce material costs, and enhance overall manufacturing efficiency.
Florian Reichle, CEO and Co-Founder of trinckle 3D, stated that the integration with GrabCAD Print Pro will make it easier for manufacturers to create custom, production-ready fixtures in minutes, eliminating design bottlenecks and maximizing the value of additive manufacturing.
Stratasys plans to demonstrate the new fixturemate/GrabCAD Print Pro integration at the RAPID + TCT event in Detroit from April 8th to 10th. The new software offering is slated to be available across Stratasys’ technology portfolio later this year.
