American producers are facing significant challenges due to recent tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China. These tariffs are an economic punch to a manufacturer’s bottom line. Automotive, Aerospace, Consumer Tech: these industries don't just rely on imports, they're built on them. Rebuilding such fundamental supply chains is not just a source problem; it’s a logistical nightmare that could take years to resolve. As the costs of these changes ripple through production, manufacturers are forced to make difficult decisions.
The GoEngineer Team has been busy this quarter, attending the top engineering and technology events in the country. From Houston for 3DEXPERIENCE World to RAPID + TCT in Detroit. Let us fill you in on the latest updates and hot topics from the conference center floor.
You asked, Stratasys answered, with four new products! Stratasys hit the ground running at RAPID + TCT 2025 in Detroit, Michigan, with four powerful product releases, each serving as a direct response to user feedback on existing 3D printing limitations.
As additive manufacturing continues to emerge in the medical sector, companies like Stratasys have developed advanced 3D printers and digital anatomy materials that replicate human bone and tissue characteristics. Surgeons use this technology for patient-specific pre-surgical practice—raising concerns about validating the accuracy of 3D printed anatomical models.
With the release of Formlabs PreForm 3.43, GoEngineer’s suite of tools for advanced design and manufacturing has upgraded massively. The Form series of SLA printers are best-in-class additive manufacturing solutions serving industries from tailored dental solutions, to prototyping, and end-use production parts. PreForm is the free job preparation (or slicing) software for Formlabs 3D printers, and works on Windows and macOS. With just a few button clicks, default settings and first-party resins produce reliable results.
On December 2, 2024, GoEngineer announced its partnership with Formlabs, a leader in 3D printing, to deliver the latest commercial and dental solutions in desktop SLA and SLS 3D printing across the U.S. and Canada.
Stratasys has announced an expanded, long-term partnership with NASCAR, becoming the exclusive provider of 3D printing solutions for the racing organization. NASCAR will now exclusively use Stratasys technology for creating parts and tools, replacing previously used systems.
The GoEngineer Customer Portal is a great tool for managing your users, training, assets, and other resources that GoEngineer has to offer. Two of the strongest assets available are the ability to manage users and then assign/access training from either your success plan or the classes you have purchased. This article is a guide for users with Professional admin-level access (typically CAD admin or IT) to utilize these assets fully. Let's start with how to add users to the customer portal.
GoEngineer's 3D printing division has been helping companies solve problems for longer than many people realize 3D printing has even existed. As a result, it's not uncommon to find people with 10, 15, or even 20+ years of 3D printing experience. This experience includes working with elementary schools and universities, hobbyists, and startups to the world's largest corporations.
