Stratasys Ltd., a polymer 3D printing solutions provider, today announced the establishment of an industrial customer advisory board (CAB) to provide the company with insight on the additive manufacturing (AM) industry. The new body conducted its first workshop in December of last year.
The 12-member industrial CAB will provide input on requirements for scalable manufacturing applications and specific initiatives that focus on quality and reliability, characterization data and alignment on a sustainability strategy, the company said.
“Stratasys has and will continue to invest in capability development and to accelerate the realization of evolving addressable applications and associated customer value, we must work closely with market leaders to define and realize requirements,” Jeff Hemenway, senior vice president of global industrial sales at Stratasys said in a press release.
According to Stratasys, CAB members include representatives from companies such as Boeing Co., TE Connectivity Ltd. and Toyota Motor Corp., along with schools such as Wichita State’s National Institute for Aviation Research (NIAR), the University of Texas El Paso and the Milwaukee School of Engineering.
“We realize significant value from AM technologies today, and to continuously open new scalable applications, we must evolve beyond purchasing products to working with collaborators like Stratasys to develop solutions. I am looking forward to working with Stratasys to advance capabilities and value for our industry,” said Melissa Orme, vice president of Boeing Additive Manufacturing.
