Addressing Cybersecurity Threats in the World of 3D Printing

by | Jun 20, 2025

Summary

Stratasys is strengthening cybersecurity in 3D printing by embedding multilayered protections across software, hardware, and networks to ensure data integrity, compliance, and operational resilience.

3D printing isn’t just about prototyping anymore—it’s now a core element of industrial manufacturing, with printers embedded in factory floors, research labs, and defense environments.

But as the machines get smarter and more connected, they also become vulnerable. Intellectual property, production schedules, and operational continuity all rely on cybersecurity. If your additive workflows are compromised, your business can grind to a halt—or worse, leak sensitive data.

In this blog, we explore the key risks, the defense mechanisms Stratasys® has implemented, and what actions you can take to strengthen your own security posture.

ASA Filament vs. ABS: Which Should You Use for Outdoor and UV-Exposed Parts?

ABS is the default for functional 3D printing, but it has one fatal flaw outdoors: UV exposure breaks it down. ASA filament was engineered to fix that. It matches ABS on mechanical properties, prints easier in real-world setups, and holds up in sunlight where ABS does not. Here’s the chemistry, the spec comparison, and when each material is the right pick for your application.
