Today, Stratasys proudly announces the appointment of S. Scott Crump - long-standing Director, Stratasys Co-founder, member of the Stratasys Board of Directors, and inventor of the company’s FDM® fused deposition modeling printing technology - as the company’s ESG & Climate Champion. “I am honored to bring over 35 years of innovation to a space where additive manufacturing drives sustainable production,” said Crump. “At Stratasys, we empower our customers to scale this technology in ways that positively impact people, the planet, and their businesses. I look forward to leveraging my expertise to accelerate research and development for a carbon-conscious offering.”

Stratasys recently unveiled groundbreaking products that exemplify its commitment to Mindful Manufacturing™ - innovative, sustainable solutions that reduce environmental impact while optimizing production.

One highlight is the SAF ReLife™ solution, a pioneering system that repurposes waste PA12 powder from powder bed fusion printers into high-quality production parts. By recycling material that would otherwise go to waste, this eco-friendly innovation cuts manufacturing costs and can reduce the carbon footprint by up to 89%.

Additionally, GrabCAD Print now includes emissions estimation capabilities, currently available for FDM technology with more to follow. This feature empowers users to calculate and review carbon emissions per part and per build, enabling informed decisions to minimize environmental impact and meet growing demands for climate action, decarbonization, and sustainable manufacturing practices.

"Stratasys is uniquely positioned to deliver impactful decarbonization solutions at a critical time. As customers face the need to reduce dependency on global supply chains, embrace localized and agile production, and address climate challenges, 3D printing-through our Mindful Manufacturing™ strategy-emerges as a game changer,” said Rosa Coblens, Vice President, Sustainability, Stratasys. “Our deep collaboration with employees, combined with close partnerships with key industry customers and our Customer Advisory Board, enables us to drive sustainable innovation and empower businesses to meet their environmental goals."

Currently Stratasys is making strides in comprehensive carbon footprint mapping, encompassing both upstream and downstream operations. This includes greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions assessments across supplier and customer baselines, with actionable insights under development.
