Welcome to Printing Money Episode 39, (or, “The one where they all went to market”). It’s that quarterly time, so Troy Jensen (Managing Director, Cantor Fitzgerald) joins Danny for a review and analysis of the Q1 2026 public 3DP/AM company earnings.
Episode 39 opens with a nod to the recent spate of positive financings and M&A outcomes for 3DP/AM companies. Danny and Troy review the reasons for this, but they are sure to curb their enthusiasm as a mega-IPO cycle is imminent which could dry up liquidity for smaller players such as…all 3DP/AM companies!
Next, to the heart of things. Danny and Troy analyze the Q1 2026 reports for Stratasys (SSYS), 3D Systems (DDD), Velo3D (VELO), Materialise (MTLS), Xometry (XMTR) and Protolabs (PRLB). Included in the analysis is coverage of many of these firms’ significant financings or transactions. Tune in for analysis of Stratasys’ Markforged acquisition, 3D Systems’ cash raise, Velo’s cash raise, Xometry’s cash raise, Materialise’s stock buyback, and more.
The public markets 3DP/AM players are in a better place, with stronger balance sheets and increased optionality. Good times may indeed be ahead, but smart Additive Manufacturing Strategies will be needed to execute properly and deliver value.
