Hawk Ridge Systems adds Stratasys Technologies to its 3D printing portfolio

Hawk Ridge Systems has announced a new partnership with Stratasys 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 photopolymerisation 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 Dale. ‘Together, we are 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 is important in bringing our solutions to more customers that are serious about additive manufacturing,’ said Josh Boggess, general manager and vice president 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. Its 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.
