Companies named exclusive 3D printing and 3D design/engineering
partners of Unlimited Tomorrow – at SOLIDWORKS World 2018

Backed by the power of Indiegogo’s crowdfunding platform,
socially-aware campaign enriches young lives with custom, light-weight
3D printed arms

MINNEAPOLIS & REHOVOT, Israel–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Stratasys
(NASDAQ: SSYS), a global leader in applied additive technology
solutions, today announced the company is teaming with Dassault
Systèmes and industry innovator Easton LaChappelle to power a
transformational new initiative – Unlimited
Tomorrow. Unveiled at SOLIDWORKS World 2018, Stratasys will become
the exclusive provider of 3D printing technology for the initiative and
organization — ushering in a new age of custom-designed, low-cost,
highly functional arms for those who need them most. Unlimited Tomorrow
will fully collaborate with Stratasys on research, development and
production of these prosthetics – reinforcing the company’s current and
evolving investments in corporate social responsibility.

Traditional prosthetic models are often heavy, cumbersome and expensive
– costing recipients a minimum of $20,000 per device to upwards of
$100,000. The decision to spend this on children is further complicated
because many quickly outgrow models and thus require entirely new
devices. Unlimited Tomorrow re-thinks the way artificial limbs are made
by targeting common pain points of customization, weight and cost.

Placing the recipient first, the organization builds intuitive, scalable
models to engineer custom devices from start to finish. Revolutionizing
the process/supply chain, Unlimited Tomorrow also taps into digital,
scanning and 3D printing technologies to streamline development and
reduce multiple fittings – minimizing the impact to each patient.

“Unlimited Tomorrow is driven by enabling the possible, with unique
thinking that results in absolutely incredible ideas. Our intent is
always ‘user-first’, meaning the technology serves needs of patients
from the outset – and it’s all driven by the most advanced technology,”
said Easton LaChappelle, Founder of Unlimited Tomorrow. “We are honored
to have Stratasys and Dassault Systèmes join our growing enterprise
coalition, further empowering us to change the paradigm for
personalized, 3D printed prosthetics and accelerate our-go-to market.”

Core to the announcement is the selection of Stratasys and Dassault
Systèmes as the program’s dedicated 3D printing and CAD/CAE suppliers.
Stratasys’ exclusive cooperation provides Unlimited Tomorrow with the
development and production of the prosthetics through the company’s
PolyJet expert team, as well as Stratasys Direct Manufacturing.
Capitalizing on Stratasys’
3D printing solutions for healthcare, Unlimited Tomorrow accesses
best-in-class 3D printing know-how and materials to engineer sturdy,
functional, and aesthetically-pleasing devices. Backed by unique levels
of realism, Stratasys solutions are perfectly suited to match prosthetic
to patient for maximum personalization.

“We view 3D printing as a catalyst for healthcare innovation to enable
better patient care, streamline procedures, and improve learning. One of
the most visible impacts is in creation of prosthetics. That’s why a
main component of our Corporate Social Responsibility program is focused
on accessibility of devices – driving true change, improving
quality-of-life, and advancing recipients’ self-esteem,” said Arita
Mattsoff, Vice President, Corporate Social Responsibility at Stratasys.
“Unlimited Tomorrow is bettering the lives of children worldwide with
practical and affordable custom-fit devices. We’re proud to team with
long-time partner Dassault Systèmes and Unlimited Tomorrow – bringing
the technology and know-how to create the best artificial limbs.”

With Dassault Systèmes’ SOLIDWORKS
applications, Unlimited Tomorrow leverages the ultimate 3D design and
engineering portfolio to facilitate an integrated design-to-creation
process and bring innovations to market faster. The software permits a
high degree of collaboration and idea-sharing for rapidly-made and more
cost-effective devices for recipients.

“In this highly competitive market, true industry leaders encourage
efficiency and creativity across all aspects of their operations –
particularly in design, manufacturing and product development. Time and
again, SOLIDWORKS is the go-to portfolio of applications that makes real
innovation possible,” said Suchit Jain, Vice President, Strategy &
Business Development, SOLIDWORKS, Dassault Systèmes. “It’s very
rewarding to align with Stratasys to advance Unlimited Tomorrow’s global
initiative.”

In keeping with Unlimited Tomorrow’s promise to empower people, the
organization has chosen Indiegogo’s platform for current equity
fundraising efforts. Notes Jonathan Cohen, Chief Enterprise Solutions
Officer at Indiegogo: "We applaud Unlimited Tomorrow for their
commitment to listen to the 'crowd' in crowdfunding for their latest
innovation. Indiegogo's Enterprise offering will allow Unlimited
Tomorrow to capture interest and validation while receiving investment
from consumers.”
