J750 and J735 first-ever 3D printers validated
by Pantone – the global authority and provider of physical and
digital color standards for full design-to-production workflow
AMUG 2019 – Setting new standards for realism in 3D
printed design, Stratasys (NASDAQ: SSYS) today unveiled a new
agreement with Pantone – a leading global authority of professional
color standards in multiple vertical industries. Under terms of the
agreement, Stratasys becomes the first 3D printing solutions
provider with technology officially designated as PANTONE
Validated™ - reflecting the qualification and approval to simulate
Pantone Matching System (PMS) colors on printed objects.

Both Stratasys J750™ and J735™ PolyJet™ 3D Printers are endorsed
by Pantone as meeting the PANTONE Validated standards of color
quality and realism. Backed by this substantiation, these PolyJet
solutions are perfectly aligned to meet the stringent requirements
of design studios as they synchronize the design-to-manufacturing
process. The agreement allows for simple and accurate color
communication between designers, modellers and manufacturers – with
easy “choose-and-print” color-matching to Pantone identities.
Two of the most powerful 3D printing solutions for designers,
both J750 and J735 offer better product design through faster
iterations, advanced design options and creation of final models
that match shapes, colors, material appearance, finish and complex
graphic design elements. This new validation enables Stratasys to
offer thousands of printable and globally-recognized Pantone
Colors, ensuring all contributors to the design process are
speaking the same language, potentially reducing iterations,
shrinking design cost, and speeding time-to-revenue.
“Designers work hard to build realistic prototypes in ways that
speed design, build and development cycles. Unfortunately, typical
approaches of manually painting each and every model is time
consuming,” said Hadas Schragenheim, Rapid Prototyping Manager,
Stratasys. “Our agreement with Pantone sets the stage for a
revolution in design and prototype processes. As the industry’s
first 3D printers officially ‘PANTONE Validated,’ we’re allowing
designers to build realistic prototypes faster than ever before –
shrinking design-to-prototype and accelerating product
time-to-market.”
It’s anticipated that Stratasys customers can access Pantone
functionality directly within the GrabCAD Print environment by July
2019 – assigning and applying colors to 3D printed models by
browsing the relevant Pantone book.
“Pantone maintains a relentless focus on providing physical and
digital design solutions that are aligned with the way modern
designers work. Given the innovative applications of 3D printing in
design, prototyping and production workflows, Stratasys is a
natural partner-of-choice,” said Iain Pike, Director of Partner
Business Development for Pantone. “Together, we’re ensuring
designers and manufacturers can leverage advanced 3D Printing
technologies to create the most vibrant and color-correct 3D
printed prototypes the market has ever seen – and with confidence
that simulated Pantone colors reflect the design intent.”
In industries ranging from consumer packaged goods to home
products, Stratasys customers can now tackle design challenges with
the expertise of Pantone. Eliminating wasted time and money
associated with manual painting and other traditional design
approaches, the combination of Stratasys and Pantone drives the
highest levels of professional design for better products and
greater innovation in the shortest amount of time.
Stratasys is exclusively unveiling this agreement with Pantone
at this week’s Additive Manufacturing User Group (AMUG) Conference
2019 in Chicago, IL. Visit Stratasys at Booth No. D17 in Salon D of
