Although we have modified our near-term operating and capital investment plans to align with softness in market conditions, we will remain focused on the future, and continue to execute on a multi-year investment plan designed to drive accelerated adoption of 3D printing solutions and increased sales growth.”

Business Highlights:

• Announced that Stratasys additive manufacturing solutions were selected by leading aircraft manufacturer Airbus to produce 3D printed flight parts for use in the first-of-type A350 XWB aircraft. Airbus produced more than 1,000 flight parts with their Stratasys FDM 3D Production Systems to support the delivery of the aircraft in December 2014. The 3D printed parts are used in place of traditionally manufactured parts with a process that reduces cost, increases supply chain flexibility, and improves on-time delivery. The announcement is the culmination of a long-term, multi-year effort by both Stratasys and Airbus to identify, certify, and then implement Stratasys production solutions.
• Announced organizational enhancements including the creation of the Stratasys Strategic Consulting Division to help support customer development; the appointment of Joshua Claman, formerly with Dell, to Chief Business Officer to drive commercial and go-to-market activities across the company's different business units; and the appointment of Jerome Hamilton, formerly with 3M, as Senior Vice President of Global Operations to lead global manufacturing, strategic sourcing, supply chain, and worldwide distribution teams.
• Completed the organizational integration of Solid Concepts, Harvest Technologies and RedEye Services to form Stratasys Direct Manufacturing (SDM), a comprehensive part services offering that employs a broad set of technologies and materials for applications ranging from models and prototypes, to end-use components and assemblies.
• Initiated a reorganization within MakerBot, which is intended to focus efforts on improving products, growing the 3D ecosystem, and increasing our efforts in the professional, education and consumer markets.
