This week has been the week of sleeping giants. Talking with a few companies we’ve heard that their Fortus machines sit dormant. The reason? The quotes they received from Stratasys were simply too much to justify getting the machine up and running. However, since these Fortus users had already invested capital into a machine that theoretically could still run and produce great parts, they didn’t feel comfortable fully letting go.
Thanks to timely outreach from Pivot they learned about lower-cost options to bring their large-format FDM, a very reliable machine back online. In a world where it’s increasingly easier to go down market why is Stratasys trying to squeeze the last pennies out of their customers? Pivot AM knows you can still make money with your Fortus 400mc or Fortus 360mc if the equation of revenue minus repair costs still puts you in the black. Give us a call with your Fortus problems and let us provide you with our low-cost spare parts, repair quotes, or preventative maintenance options.
