Stratasys Ltd (NASDAQ: SSYS) has announced a major step to reinforce its leadership in additive manufacturing by investing in Tritone Technologies and forming a strategic collaboration with the industrial metal 3D printing company. This partnership brings industrial-scale metal and ceramic production technology into the Stratasys portfolio, further positioning the company as a comprehensive provider of advanced additive manufacturing solutions across the full value chain.
The initiative is aimed at reducing barriers for businesses adopting AM by simplifying technology and vendor selection, which can often be complex for manufacturers. Tritone’s metal and ceramic technologies are designed for high-volume production and align with Stratasys’ focus on scaling additive manufacturing for industrial applications.
Stratasys CEO Dr Yoav Zeif said that customers across aerospace, defense, government, and other sectors have consistently requested a dependable industrial metal solution to complement the company’s polymer expertise. He noted that Tritone stood out for delivering strong part quality, cost-effective production, and a business model centered around consumables and services. The agreement, he said, significantly widens Stratasys’ addressable market.
Stratasys is taking part in Tritone’s latest funding round, which includes Discount Capital and Fortissimo Capital. The move grants Stratasys an initial minority stake, with an option to increase its ownership over time. A phased commercial arrangement has also been established to deepen collaboration—supporting Tritone’s reseller ecosystem and leveraging joint sales and marketing efforts.
Hanoch Papoushado, Chief Investment Officer at Discount Capital, said the two companies’ complementary strengths create an opportunity to accelerate market growth and add value for customers. He highlighted Stratasys’ global experience and Tritone’s advanced technology as a strong combination.
Tritone supplies proprietary metal and ceramic additive manufacturing solutions to clients worldwide, serving industries such as tooling, medical devices, defense, general manufacturing, and fashion. Founded in 2017 by industry veterans led by CEO Ofer Ben Zur—also the founder of Kornit Digital—the company has rapidly gained traction in industrial markets.
Central to Tritone’s offering is its MoldJet® technology, an innovative metal and ceramic AM process that complements Stratasys’ polymer jetting expertise. MoldJet is the only powder-free manufacturing technology capable of delivering high-throughput, industrial-scale production of metal and ceramic components. It supports complex geometries, high-density parts, and mechanical properties that meet industrial standards. The technology also enables quick transitions between materials, reducing downtime and allowing multiple part types to be produced in a single batch.
Ben Zur said the investment validates the company’s vision and reflects increasing industry confidence in its technology. He added that the partnership with Stratasys strengthens Tritone’s ability to drive adoption of metal and ceramic AM for producing precise, production-ready components.
Stratasys continues to lead the global shift toward additive manufacturing with solutions for sectors including aerospace, automotive, consumer goods, and healthcare. Its portfolio spans advanced 3D printers, polymer materials, software platforms, and on-demand production services, enabling customers to enhance product development, streamline manufacturing workflows, and improve supply chain resilience.
