Stratasys 3D Printers Now Run in More Than 20 GM Factories

General Motors is expanding its use of Stratasys additive manufacturing solutions across more than 20 production facilities in North and South America, the companies announced today.

GM manufacturing teams use Stratasys FDM printers, including the industrial F900, to produce ergonomic aids, quality-control tools, fixtures, protective components, and replacement parts. The goal is to reduce lead times and tooling costs by letting teams design and print parts on-site instead of ordering them from external suppliers.

Stratasys will showcase the collaboration in a new video at its IMTS 2026 booth. The footage, shot across multiple GM plants, shows how factory-floor teams use Stratasys hardware, materials, and software to solve production problems in hours rather than weeks.

GM's deployment fits a broader pattern of large manufacturers treating 3D printing as a standard production tool rather than a prototyping curiosity. The company has used additive manufacturing for years, but the current push scales that use across a full manufacturing network, not just a single plant or pilot line.

The partnership also gives Stratasys a high-profile reference customer as it faces growing competition from lower-cost industrial systems. Stratasys F900 printers carry a significant price premium over consumer and prosumer machines, but GM's endorsement signals that the ROI argument still holds at scale.
