  • The Real World Impact of Simulated Parts: Why Novineer and Stratasys Partnered on Performance Simulation for FDM If one of the primary advantages of additive manufacturing (AM) is that it’s “digitally-native,” then the hardware will ultimately only be as good as the software guiding the process. That has arguably become the principal driving force shaping investment cycles and strategic partnerships in the AM industry, and it should be a main determining factor in separating winners from losers going forward. Stratasys has always excelled at picking the right strategic partners, and its collab
