Stratasys launches Vulcan Labs

Industrial 3-D printer manufacturer Stratasys has spun off a 3-D printing operation into a new independent company called Vulcan Labs, specializing in powder-bed fusion technology. The new entity is based in Belton, Texas.

Originating from Stratasys’ acquisition of the service bureau Harvest Technologies in 2014, Vulcan Labs will offer optimized build environments and multilaser scan strategies, closed-loop melt pool quality control, detailed data logging and integration to the factory floor, automated powder handling and in-situ powder quality characterization, and automated calibration and build setup capabilities.
