It is a process that prints plastic molds, which are then filled with a metal paste to produce high-density <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/the-metal-3d-printing-guide\/\">metal<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/3d-printing-material110420174\/\">ceramic<\/a> parts, all within a single workflow.

The companies have also established a phased commercial agreement designed to closely integrate their operations. On one hand, Stratasys will support Tritone\u2019s distributor network and create sales and marketing synergies to expand the global reach of MoldJet technology. On the other hand, Stratasys gains access to a metal production technology that aligns with its vision for scaled manufacturing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"597\" data-end=\"1154\">With this move, Stratasys makes it clear that it does not intend to remain confined to its long-standing dominance in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/polymer-3d-printing-material-technological-innovations-140220236\/\">polymers<\/a>. By bringing MoldJet into its ecosystem, the company is pivoting toward true industrial manufacturing, where metals continue to be the cornerstone. It remains to be seen how Stratasys will integrate this technology and whether it will choose to increase its stake in Tritone, but one thing is certain: this step places Stratasys in a new competitive position within a market that is demanding more complete and scalable solutions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"1156\" data-end=\"1342\">What do you think of this new partnership? \u00a0Let us know in a comment below or on our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/4987104\/\">LinkedIn<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/3Dnatives\/\">Facebook<\/a>\u00a0pages!
