About Yoav Zeif
Yoav Zeif, CEO of Stratasys, gave a presentation in May 2026 on the state of additive manufacturing (AM). He argued that the industry is maturing and moving from experimentation to execution, and that recent challenges are signs of long-term growth. Zeif stated that "additive manufacturing is no longer about proving possibility" and that "leadership now means execution not experimentation." He compared the adoption curve of AM to that of CNC machining and solar energy, asserting that AM is ahead of those industries at comparable stages. Zeif discussed the relationship between low-end and industrial 3D printing, saying that both segments are "moving the industry forward and growing the total pie." He cited data indicating that 94% of industrial printer users are satisfied, and 87% of non-owners plan to purchase an industrial printer within two years. Zeif also addressed the impact of artificial intelligence, stating that "if AI is the designer, AM is the actuation layer" and that AI has created additional value for physical creation. He expressed optimism about the industry's trajectory, saying "we are on the right course."
