3D printing companies

Industrial polymer 3D printing. Builds FDM and PolyJet machines and sells the materials that run on them, aimed at aerospace, automotive, medical and dental. Israeli-American. In 2026 it agreed to buy Markforged from Nano Dimension for 42.5 million dollars.

One of the two oldest names in the field; it invented stereolithography. Sells SLA, SLS and metal machines plus healthcare and dental printing, materials and software. Has spent recent years shedding non-core units to cut losses.

Started in printed electronics (circuit boards), then turned into a roll-up: it bought Desktop Metal and Markforged in 2025, let Desktop Metal go into Chapter 11 the same year and agreed to sell Markforged to Stratasys in 2026. Under a strategic review since September 2025.

A French printer maker built by acquisition around the MOVINGLight DLP technology, now selling off the parts that are not printers. Software went for 35 million euros, jewellery printers and the dental lab are gone, and materials are for sale.

Entered 3D printing in 2016 with Multi Jet Fusion, a powder bed process that fuses a whole layer at once with an inkjet array, and later added Metal Jet binder jetting. Its pitch to service bureaux is production volume, not prototypes.

Makes metal laser powder bed fusion printers and sells printed parts. Went public by SPAC in 2021, was pushed off the NYSE in 2024, handed 95 percent of its equity to its noteholder in a debt swap and returned to Nasdaq in 2025.

The German pioneer of industrial laser powder bed fusion for polymers and metals, maker of the EOS M 290 and M 400 metal systems. Private and led by the founding Langer family; it does not publish revenue.

Changsha maker of industrial laser powder bed fusion systems for metal and polymer. Listed on Shanghai’s STAR Market in 2023; revenue grew 45 percent in 2025 to 715 million yuan.

Xi’an metal additive manufacturing group, known as BLT, selling printers, metal powders and printed parts to aerospace, engine, tooling and medical customers. Listed on the STAR Market in 2019.

German maker of large metal laser powder bed fusion systems, formerly SLM Solutions. Listed in Frankfurt in 2014, taken over by Nikon in 2023 and removed from the exchange the same year.

Binder-jetting printer maker founded in 2015. Went public by SPAC in 2020, bought ExOne for 575 million dollars in 2021, was acquired by Nano Dimension in April 2025, filed for Chapter 11 in July 2025 and was bought out of bankruptcy by Arc.

The jet engine maker that turned 3D printing into a production process with the LEAP fuel nozzle, then bought its way into the machine business. That business, now Colibrium Additive, sells the Concept Laser and Arcam printers.

A machine tool builder that treats additive as one more process on the same machine. The Lasertec range puts directed energy deposition and five-axis milling in one setup, and a separate powder bed line (Lasertec SLM) sits beside it.

Shanghai stereolithography specialist that claims the largest SLA market share in China, with industrial SLA systems, DLP machines, resins and its own print-management software. It has been preparing a listing on Shanghai’s STAR Market since 2022.

Berlin maker of large-format FDM printers. Listed in Frankfurt in 2024 through a reverse merger; in June 2026 it announced the sale of its operating company to existing backers, a delisting and the liquidation of the listed parent.

Silicon Valley resin printing company built on CLIP, a continuous light-and-oxygen process, with production programmes for customers such as Adidas and Riddell. Private; valued at about 2.4 billion dollars in 2019.

German maker of large binder-jetting printers and on-demand parts. Listed in New York in 2013, left Nasdaq in 2024, and in 2025 its shareholders were wiped out in a court-backed restructuring after they rejected a sale to Anzu Partners.

Shenzhen maker of consumer 3D printers, best known for the Ender 3 series. About 74 percent of its 2025 sales came from outside China. Listed in Hong Kong in May 2026 and reported a first-half loss three months later.

Shenzhen maker of fast, enclosed consumer FDM printers with automatic multi-material feeding. Its X1 series launched on Kickstarter in 2022 and ended production in 2026. Stratasys has sued it over ten US patents.

Prague maker of the Original Prusa desktop FDM printers, plus filament and resin printers, founded by Josef Průša. It has moved away from fully open-source designs since 2023.

Makes professional desktop resin (SLA) and powder (SLS) printers and the materials that run on them. Private; valued at 2 billion dollars in 2021.

Maker of professional and education desktop FDM printers, formed when Ultimaker and Stratasys’s MakerBot merged in 2022. At the merger NPM Capital held 53.5 percent and Stratasys 46.5 percent.

Watertown maker of composite and metal printers, the first to print continuous carbon fibre reinforcement. Went public by SPAC in 2021, was bought by Nano Dimension in 2025 and is being sold to Stratasys in 2026.

A wide-format inkjet maker that entered 3D printing from the colour side: its 3DUJ printers lay down UV ink in more than ten million colours, so a part comes out finished rather than painted.

A marketplace, not a factory. It matches a buyer’s uploaded part to a network of outside shops for CNC, 3D printing, sheet metal and injection molding, and takes a cut. It does not own the printers, which is the whole point of its model.

Runs its own factories for quick-turn digital manufacturing: CNC, injection molding, 3D printing and sheet metal. Built its name on very fast prototyping and low-volume production. Also resells network capacity, but the owned-factory model is the core.

Online 3D printing service started in 2007 as a Philips spin-off. Went public by SPAC in 2021, filed for Chapter 7 in 2024, and was relaunched the same year by two of its co-founders and the team running its Eindhoven factory.

Belgian company built on 3D printing software (its Magics build-prep suite is an industry default) plus a large medical and anatomical printing business and a service bureau. The software licences are the sticky, higher-margin part.

A space and defense company, listed here because it owns the Made In Space printing business behind the first commercial 3D printer on the International Space Station. Printing is a small part of the revenue; space systems and, since 2025, drones are most of it.

3D-bioprinting of cultivated and plant-based meat structures, selling the printers and the bio-inks that feed them. Small and speculative, and a reminder that "3D printing" as a stock theme reaches well past plastic and metal parts.

A titanium producer whose HAMR process makes powder with less energy than the Kroll process. The powder feeds metal additive manufacturing and near-net-shape pressing, and its defence work is fasteners and track pins.

A specialty metals producer that came to 3D printing from the powder side, then built a parts business of its own: a Connecticut service bureau bought in 2018 and a Florida plant printing Navy nuclear propulsion parts.

Spent seven years building a 3D printing materials business and then left it. Forward AM, its additive unit, was spun out in a management buyout in 2024, filed for insolvency within five months, and was bought by Stratasys in 2025.

A specialty alloy maker that bought its way into additive: a titanium powder maker, a California printing bureau and a UK powder and software company, then built an end-to-end centre in Alabama that atomises, prints and finishes parts.

An aluminium products maker that entered additive with its own powder alloys. Aheadd CP1, an aluminium-iron-zirconium alloy, is the flagship, pitched as stronger than AlSi10Mg and usable without quenching.

A chemicals group with three routes into 3D printing: Sartomer UV-curable resins, Kepstan PEKK for high-temperature parts, and Rilsan polyamide 11 powders. It has bought small resin specialists to fill gaps rather than building them.

A plasma technology company selling metal powder for 3D printing. It says it invented plasma atomisation in 1995, and its NexGen atomiser is the production version. Titanium is the product that is now selling.

A silicon nitride ceramics company for spinal and orthopaedic implants. Its 3D printing work is a silicon nitride and PEEK composite for patient-specific spinal implants, funded in part by NIH grants.

Bought its way into build preparation with Netfabb in 2015 and has since folded it into Fusion. The product it sells to print shops is software for fixing meshes, nesting, supports and simulating metal builds.

Reaches additive through its 3DEXPERIENCE platform rather than a printer or a print product: design in CATIA or SOLIDWORKS, simulation in SIMULIA, and machine set-up in DELMIA, with printer makers plugging in.

Reached additive through a UK metal printing bureau in 2016, then moved to software and partnerships: its Xcelerator platform now connects printer makers, bureaus and design tools, and in 2026 it took a stake in Xometry.

Does not build printers. It makes the digital micromirror chip inside most DLP resin printers, from desktop machines to production systems, so its chipset releases set what those printers can resolve and what they cost.

Makes jet engine components and fasteners, and reached additive through the Alcoa acquisitions it grew out of. The public record shows powder production, a research programme with Airbus and a patent lead in titanium; it has not detailed which printed parts it ships.

Owns the Aerojet Rocketdyne propulsion lineage, one of the longest-running users of 3D printing in rocket engines. In January 2026 it agreed to sell most of its space propulsion business, which changes who holds that printing experience.

A launch company that printed its engines from the start. Rutherford, the first 3D printed electric turbopump-fed engine, flies nine to a rocket on Electron, and the larger Archimedes engine for Neutron is mostly printed too.

Runs one of the largest in-house additive operations of any carmaker, at its Additive Manufacturing Campus near Munich. Metal printing for series parts, in particular wire arc additive, is the stated next step.

One of the oldest industrial users of additive manufacturing: its first stereolithography machine arrived in the 1980s, and it now prints prototypes, tooling, sand moulds and a growing number of production parts. Its Red Bull Powertrains work for Formula One is the current showcase.

Turned 3D printing into a shoe line through Carbon: the 4D midsole is a printed lattice rather than moulded foam, and the line has grown from a 300-pair friends-and-family drop in 2017 to broader releases such as the Alphaedge 4D and the 4DFWD.

Bet on metal binder jetting for series car parts earlier than any other carmaker, with HP as the printer partner and Siemens on software. Its Wolfsburg additive centre is where the process is being proven.
