Architecture and Interior Design

Hello everyone and welcome back to another Sunday Blogging. Today we will be looking at one specific company named Stratasys.

Stratasys is a company that works with 3d printers and has made themselves well known within the 3d technology world. Stratasys works with other companies such as MakerBot (Another 3d printing company) and has proven that anything is possible with these new technologies. Stratasys has built everything from shoes to little bunny rabbits and continue to innovate each and everyday and are sure to get to architecture at some point.

Stratasys History- Stratasys was founded in 1989 by married couple S. Scott Crump and Lisa Crump in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. Founder S. Scott Crump was tired of past prototyping processes so he invented Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) in 1988 where he mixed wax and plastic creating a really-strong material. Once FDM was implemented within the company it became the best-selling rapid prototyping technology. Ever since the company's stardom many new 3d printers have come along such as the

Over the years Stratasys has found many ways to get closer to their users and continue to make sure their users get the best out of anything. Programs such as Thingiverse and GrabCAD are just some of ways Stratasys has gotten closer to their users.

I wanted to discuss this company because it may be a major part of new architectural design. As I have mentioned before, people are starting to build 3d printed houses. Well Stratasys has an array of 3d printers that may also be able to get the job done. If they don’t have one to build an entire house now, they are sure to have it in the future. Their innovations have changed the world of 3d printing. This company really is the company of the future.
