Stratasys Launches iAM Marketplace to Simplify Polymer 3D Printing Services

Stratasys Introduces iAM Marketplace To Unify Materials, Services, And Expertise In Polymer 3D Printing

Stratasys launched the iAM Marketplace, an independent platform engineered to transition additive manufacturing from a prototyping tool into a primary industrial capability. The initiative aims to streamline the procurement of polymer materials, engineering services, and ancillary products by consolidating fragmented supply chains and complex contracting procedures into a single, unified interface.

Certified Portfolio  

The platform features an extensive, verified catalog of 3D printing polymers, offering detailed technical documentation and process profiles to support diverse applications, spanning from initial functional prototyping to end-use component production. Directly supported by Stratasys, this platform integrates the advanced material expertise of iSQUARED and Forward AM with the specialised technical resources and capabilities obtained via an asset acquisition from Nexa3D. Stratasys continues to uphold a closed-loop, high-performance materials ecosystem, ensuring all consumables are specifically engineered and validated for its proprietary hardware.

According to Towards Chemicals & Materials, the resins and polymers market size accounted for USD 780.55 billion in 2025 and is predicted to increase from USD 826.21 billion in 2026 to approximately USD 1,378.19 billion by 2035, expanding at a CAGR of  5.85% from 2026 to 2035 due to product demand from the automotive, packaging, electronics, and construction sectors.
