Advancing Scalable Production With Real-Time Quality Assurance
Stratasys has been awarded $7.8 million in funding to develop on-site quality assurance capabilities for its F3300 and F900 industrial FDM platforms. The project, supported by America Makes and the Department of War, aims to enable manufacturers to generate real-time process data, scale additive manufacturing production, and reduce reliance on costly post-build inspection and qualification. This initiative is expected to support manufacturers across defense, aerospace, and commercial aviation, where traceability and part qualification are critical. The project was announced by Stratasys, as reported by an unknown source.
