Case Study: Lockheed Martin achieves 28% higher 3D printing output with Stratasys AccelerateAM

Lockheed Martin boosts 3D printing uptime by 28% with Stratasys

Lockheed Martin, a global aerospace and defense technology company, faced the challenge of machine downtime negatively impacting its additive manufacturing operations. To minimize disruptions and increase uptime for its Stratasys polymer 3D printers, the customer sought a new solution for faster and more comprehensive support.

Stratasys implemented its AccelerateAM service program, which provided Lockheed Martin with dedicated support and on-site training for its technicians. This solution led to a significant reduction in machine downtime, with response times cut from five days to within 24-48 hours. The measurable impact was a 28% year-over-year increase in additive manufacturing part production using fewer printers.
