A news update from my buddy Pawel:

The past few days have brought news of the resurrection of several well-known AM companies. Anzu Partners acquired EnvisionTEC, the newly established company Quantum took over BCN3D Technologies , and Austrian energy company SBO acquired 3T Additive Manufacturing Ltd in a public auction.

As if that weren’t enough, Velo3D returned to a major stock exchange – Nasdaq – a year after being delisted from the NYSE due to a low share price and relegated to the little-known (and certainly less prestigious) OTCQX Best Market.

So, what now? Is this the dawn of something new? Something better? Is AM’s bad streak ending, and is the industry becoming prosperous again?

Unfortunately, not really… While encouraging at first glance, these latest moves are little more than putting lipstick on a corpse.

Especially when contrasted with Creality’s recent IPO announcement (and the simultaneous disclosure of its official financial results) and what’s happening right now on Kickstarter with Snapmaker’s latest 3D printer.

Against that backdrop, the “resurrections” of the aforementioned companies look quaint. Cute...

First, a quick recap:


EnvisionTEC (ETEC)

I already wrote last week about EnvisionTEC. A company from the Anzu Partners group will acquire EnvisionTec GmbH, following the recent bankruptcy of its previous owner, Desktop Metal. Anzu promises continuity of operations, obligations, and customer service for EnvisionTEC.

The acquisition runs in parallel with purchases of ExOne GmbH and ExOne KK. Anzu is also finalizing the takeover of Voxeljet.

Interesting highlight there Kurt.

And in other news, this article featuring Prusa is an interesting insight into the future of 3D printing, the journey it seems to be taking now, thanks to China
