Joining Stratasys' partner network with extensive knowledge and experience in channeling prosthetic dental CAD/CAM solutions, Sydney-based Dental Axess will focus on the sale and provision of local support and services for Stratasys' dental portfolio. This includes the new Objet Eden260VS Dental Advantage 3D Printer (http://www.stratasys.com/3d-printers/dental-series/objet-eden260vs-dental-advan tage), which offers soluble support option that enables easy cleaning of dental parts with fine features such as the small removable die inserts in dental models.

"The dental market has always been a strategic focus at Stratasys.
