Stratasys asked companies:

  • How they plan to use 3D printing over the next 3 years?
  • What do they see as the greatest benefits of and hurdles to 3D printing adoption?
  • What they view as the business value?
  • How their product development will evolve?
  • And who will invest in owning the technology and what role will service providers play?
