Hawk Ridge Systems Adds Stratasys Technologies to Its 3D Printing Portfolio

Key Terms

additive manufacturing technical

Additive manufacturing, often called 3D printing, builds physical parts by laying down material layer by layer from a digital design, rather than cutting or molding from a solid block. It matters to investors because it can cut production time and waste, enable cheaper prototypes and customized products, and reshape supply chains—changes that can lower costs, speed new products to market, and create competitive advantages that affect a company's revenue and margins.

polyjet technical

PolyJet is a 3D printing process that sprays tiny droplets of liquid plastic and hardens them with light to build detailed parts layer by layer, like an inkjet printer but for solid objects. It matters to investors because it speeds product design and produces high-precision prototypes or small production runs with multiple colors and materials, potentially cutting development time and manufacturing costs and affecting companies that supply or use advanced manufacturing tools.

stereolithography technical

A 3D printing method that builds solid objects by using focused light to harden a liquid plastic resin one thin layer at a time, similar to tracing and stacking many transparent sheets to form a shape. Investors care because it speeds prototyping and small-batch production, allows highly detailed or complex parts without expensive molds, and can cut tooling and lead times—factors that affect manufacturing costs, product development pace, and competitive advantage.

Broadening additive manufacturing possibilities with advanced capabilities and scalability

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Hawk Ridge Systems is proud to announce a new partnership with Stratasys (NASDAQ: SSYS), a global leader in polymer additive manufacturing, to expand its 3D printing solutions.

This partnership broadens Hawk Ridge Systems' manufacturing portfolio with production-grade technologies that offer advanced prototyping, tooling and end-use manufacturing applications to customers across several industries, such as aerospace, automotive, medical and dental, industrial equipment and consumer markets.

Together, the companies can reach more manufacturers and support real-world, production-ready applications through their more than 60 years of combined 3D printing expertise and customer-focused initiatives.

Through Hawk Ridge Systems, Stratasys® can continually serve customers with an application-first additive strategy that focuses on customer needs and project scope through new avenues.

“This partnership reflects our commitment to helping customers deploy additive manufacturing with confidence,” said Dale Ford, CEO of Hawk Ridge Systems.

The partnership adds three new 3D printing opportunities for customers: multi-material jetting photopolymer 3D printing known as PolyJet™, large-format stereolithography (SLA) Neo™ 3D printers and production-oriented Origin® programmable photopolymerization P3™ digital light processing (DLP) capabilities.

These 3D printing technologies let customers move beyond isolated prototyping and step into reliable, repeatable workflows that support everything from high-fidelity design validation and visual communication to scalable polymer production and digital inventory strategies.

“Stratasys brings industrial-proven systems that align perfectly with our focus on outcomes, scalability and production readiness,” said Ford. “Together, we’re enabling manufacturers to move faster, reduce risk and find real value from additive manufacturing.”

Hawk Ridge Systems now offers a comprehensive additive manufacturing portfolio. Each technology can intentionally support specific stages of the manufacturing lifecycle, from prototyping to production.

This portfolio expansion helps customers confidently select the right additive technology for their application, while enabling end-to-end workflows that integrate 3D printing, post-processing and automation from the outset to reduce friction and scale results.

“The partnership with Hawk Ridge Systems is important in bringing our solutions to more customers that are serious about additive manufacturing,” said Josh Boggess, GM & VP of Sales, Americas at Stratasys. “Hawk Ridge Systems brings deep application expertise and important proximity to customers. With additive manufacturing becoming more common place on shop floors, we are seeing supply chains become more secure, tooling is standard practice and prototyping is speeding up, taking months off manufacturing processes. This partnership helps keep the momentum of industrial additive manufacturing moving forward."

At Hawk Ridge Systems, customers can find the full suite of PolyJet™ medium- to large-sized industrial 3D printers (J55™ Prime, J850™ Prime, J850™ Pro, J5 MediJet® and J5 Digital Anatomy™), large-scale SLA 3D printers (Neo® and Neo® 800+), and high-volume P3™ DLP 3D printers (Origin® Two).

Stratasys® systems support a broad portfolio of certified and open materials, giving customers flexibility and reliability. They are purpose-built for applications ranging from tooling and functional prototyping to jigs, fixtures and end-use production parts. Stratasys® materials are engineered to meet demanding industry standards across regulated and industrial environments.

In addition to a diverse additive portfolio, Hawk Ridge Systems also offers post-processing technologies, as well as professional engineering and manufacturing services to help customers make intelligent, strategic decisions for their projects, businesses and operations.
