Stratasys, Inc. has announced that it has secured a $1.5 million order from its Tokyo-based distributor, Marubeni Solutions Corp. The order marks the largest single order in Stratasys' history.
Marubeni will acquire multiple Dimension 3D printers from Stratasys as part of the sale. The distributor's goal is to further integrate Dimension 3D printers into its corporate- account sales strategy, making the networked, desktop modeling systems a corporate standard for customers. The Dimension 3D printers will be used by Marubeni's customers – leaders in industries as diverse as automotive and electronics – to enhance their design processes, providing them a fast, office-friendly, alternative for building functional 3D models.
This latest Stratasys sale demonstrates the growing demand within the global market for low-cost, desktop 3D printing capabilities among designers.
“We're excited about this significant order and the continued growth of the 3D printing market,” said Scott Crump, Chief Executive Officer of Stratasys. “As we've publicly stated, we believe our Dimension 3D printer is redefining a rapidly expanding office prototyping market and addresses a market universe of more than three million computer-aided-design stations. Marubeni has been one of Stratasys' key distributors for more than 10 years, and we are committed to helping them continually serve their customer base with innovative products like Dimension.”
