Technology & Products
Key Products
SOLIDWORKS CAD software, Stratasys 3D printing hardware (FDM, PolyJet, metal), post-processing equipment, 3D laser scanning (Artec), and rapid prototyping/service bureau.
Technological Advantage
Value-added reseller (VAR) model does not produce proprietary technology; advantage lies in **market presence, customer relationships, and integration expertise**. No patents identified (company provides resale and services, not manufacturing innovation). Competitive strength: deep CAD/manufacturing workflow expertise, rapid prototyping service bureau (DDM), and established channel partnerships—enables faster time-to-market for customer designs and lower barriers to AM adoption.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Unified end-to-end product development ecosystem combining industry-standard SOLIDWORKS CAD, best-in-class Stratasys 3D printing hardware, professional 3D scanning, design services, and rapid prototyping—reducing time-to-prototype from weeks to days while enabling cost-effective low-volume manufacturing and on-demand spare parts production. Leverages 25+ years of AM expertise and 8,000+ installed base to accelerate adoption of design-for-manufacturing and additive manufacturing methodologies.
How They Differentiate
Javelin differentiates through: (1) **25+ year market tenure** in Canada with established 8,000+ customer base; (2) **integrated CAD + hardware + service model** (SOLIDWORKS + Stratasys + scanning + in-house DDM); (3) **industry expertise and DFM consulting** (product design services); (4) **multi-material printing capability** (FDM, PolyJet, metal LPBF via Stratasys platform diversity); (5) **post-acquisition scale** via TriMech integration (now serving central/eastern USA + Canada).
