Stryker’s focus on additive manufacturing
In June 2017, Stryker (SYK) entered into a partnership with General Electric (GE) to expand its additive manufacturing business. Additive manufacturing is 3D printing technology that involves the use of 3D design data to build a component depositing material layer by layer. The deal is Stryker’s recent move towards accelerating its 3D printed products portfolio. The company started investing in additive manufacturing in 2001 and has been expanding its 3D business since then. Stryker has invested in Concept Laser and Arcam machines already. For 3D printing industrialization for the healthcare industry, Stryker has entered into a number of collaborations with some leading universities in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Recently, the company opened an additive manufacturing facility in Ireland.
