3D printers move into the mainstream

摘要

BUSINESS is booming for the US and Israel-based Stratasys, according to the leading 3D printing and additive manufacturing* company, which recently predicted sales growth of at least 25 per cent for the year. In 2013, the company also acquired the consumer 3D printing firm MakerBot, and saw out the first full year after its completed merger with Objet. The pace in this region is outstripping all the others for Stratasys, ahead of India, the USA and Latin America. "In terms of growth, APJ presented the strongest for 2013," Jonathan Jaglom, general manager for Asia Pacific and Japan since the beginning of last year, told Manufacturers' Monthly.
