Decades of Innovation - Our Story

Stratasys Direct® emerged from the union of three industry pioneers—Redeye, Solid Concepts, and Harvest Technologies. Founded in 2005, 1991, and 1995 respectively, each company brought specialized expertise in 3D printing and additive manufacturing, serving industries from aerospace to healthcare. In 2014, Stratasys consolidated these entities; "...the consolidated operation, called Stratasys Direct®, is one of the most formidable, diversified service providers in the world."Wohlers Report 2018

Today, Stratasys Direct is uniquely positioned with the largest industrial-grade capacity in North America, dedicated to ensuring the success of every customer’s project. From rapid prototyping to Direct Digital Manufacturing (DDM), our U.S.-based operations serve tens of thousands of customers, helping accelerate product development and bring quality products to market faster than ever before.

Stratasys Direct was just a phone call away to figure out the harder issues...and that one-on-one and expertise was crucial to achieve a successful print.
