PostProcess Technologies named first partner under new program, expanding customer access to validated post-processing solutions

Stratasys (NASDAQ: SSYS) today announced the launch of its new Post Processing Partnership Program, a strategic initiative designed to simplify how customers access validated post-processing solutions as part of complete, end-to-end additive manufacturing workflows. As part of the program’s launch, Stratasys also announced a new commercial agreement with PostProcess Technologies, a leader in automated and intelligent post-printing solutions for additive manufacturing, making it the first partner to participate in the program.

Post-processing involves cleaning, resin removal, support removal, smoothing, curing, or finishing printed parts, which can be complicated, manual, and time‑consuming. Customers often must research vendors on their own, make separate purchases, and hope everything works well together. The Post Processing Partnership Program is intended to reduce the complexity customers face when researching, selecting, and purchasing post-processing technologies.

Through the program, Stratasys curates and validates third-party solutions that are guaranteed to work with its systems, allowing customers to purchase post-processing equipment alongside Stratasys software, materials, printers, and services through Stratasys channels. This approach simplifies procurement, reduces risk, and helps customers deploy optimized workflows more efficiently.

“Customers are increasingly focused on optimizing the entire additive manufacturing workflow, not just individual steps, and the Post Processing Partnership Program is designed to make post-processing easier to adopt and better integrated into production environments,” said Rich Garrity, Chief Industrial Business Officer at Stratasys. “PostProcess Technologies is a great fit for this program because they are a well-established partner with a strong reputation, and many of our customers already rely on their solutions today. This agreement builds on that foundation and brings unique value to the market.”

Under the commercial agreement, Stratasys will offer validated post-processing solutions from PostProcess Technologies through its global sales channels, enabling customers to purchase post-processing equipment under a single Stratasys purchase order alongside their Stratasys systems. Installation, service, and ongoing support will be provided directly by PostProcess Technologies, helping ensure solutions are optimized for use with Stratasys platforms while easing the operational and procurement burden for customers.

“Our solutions are widely used across prototyping and production environments where operator safety, consistency, and throughput are critical. As part complexity and volumes continue to grow, traditional tools and manual finishing methods do not scale,” said Jeff Mize, CEO of PostProcess Technologies. “This agreement deepens our alignment with the clear industry leader, extending our commercial reach and making it easier for customers to deploy proven post-processing solutions as part of a unified additive manufacturing workflow.”

PostProcess Technologies’ portfolio supports multiple Stratasys technologies, including FDM®, PolyJet™, SLA, and P3™, providing automated post-processing solutions designed to improve consistency, throughput, and part quality across both prototyping and production environments. These capabilities are particularly valuable for customers in industries such as automotive, aerospace, dental, and consumer goods, where post-processing can represent a significant portion of overall additive manufacturing time and cost.
