German service bureau adds four
stereolithography printers for opening of a new dedicated
production facility to meet growing customer demand for
industrial-level prototyping, product testing, and high-quality
end-use parts
Stratasys Ltd. (Nasdaq: SSYS), a leader in polymer 3D printing
solutions, today announced that German service bureau PartsToGo has
invested in another four stereolithography (SLA) printers. They
selected three Neo800 printers and one Neo450 to complement their
existing Neo450 and Neo800 to produce high-quality, accurate and
repeatable parts for their customers’ industrial-level application
needs. The investment brings PartsToGo’s total Neo fleet to six
systems, with a seventh Neo planned for installation in the next
few weeks.

These Neo printers will play the leading role at a new
specialist facility that PartsToGo has established in the Black
Forest region. This facility, which opened its doors at the start
of this year, offers 24/7 production and features updated
logistical capabilities, a dedicated showroom, as well as two
automation cells for scaling 3D printing production.
PartsToGo has evolved from an operation geared toward
demonstrating 3D printing capabilities to customers, to a
full-fledged service bureau. This was spurred by an increasing
demand among customers without in-house additive manufacturing
expertise, or those who lacked the production requirements to
warrant investment in their own 3D printer.
“The ability to create large, high-quality parts, with an open
material system on our Neo printers has led to many new business
opportunities for our company,” said Tobias R�cker, CEO of
PartsToGo. “Our additional printers allow us to scale production to
meet the rapidly growing market needs while smartly managing our
operational costs.”
According to R�cker, the Neo printer’s stereolithography-based
resin technology is critical to create the high-quality, repeatable
parts expected by customers.
“A large part of our customer base is in the automotive
industry, a sector in which accuracy, reliability, and
repeatability is paramount,” he noted. “Investing in accurate,
high-quality systems like the Stratasys SLA solution empowers us to
expand our 3D printing operation, moving it from a side-project to
its own standalone business. Beyond automotive, we also serve many
other industrial customers, including those with packaging and
electrical application needs, providing small series production for
prototyping, testing, and fixtures.”
Essential to PartsToGo’s ability to deliver high-quality resin
models are the Stratasys materials Somos® WaterShed XC 11122 and
Somos® WaterShed Black. These are versatile resins that deliver
detailed parts with water resistance and a smooth finish,
ultimately accelerating testing time. PartsToGo also use Somos®
PerFORM for applications requiring a stronger, stiffer material
with high heat-resistance, such as tooling and electrical
casings.
”The superior quality and part consistency from our Neo printers
has not gone unnoticed by our customers who have responded very
positively. In many cases we were even able to convince customers
who previously used other suppliers of our quality,” R�cker
summarized.
PartsToGo enjoys maximum flexibility in their choice of
materials thanks to the open material system of the Neo series.
Finishing time is reduced by up to 50% due to the quality, speed
and detail, which ensures the production of highly accurate and
repeatable parts.
