Israeli 3D printer manufacturer Stratasys is looking to acquire the American 3D printing company Desktop Metal Inc. According to a report by Bloomberg, if the acquisition takes place the combined new company would be worth $1.8 billion. The proposed deal is said to be a stock swap.
This would be the second acquisition made by Stratasys in the last year. In August 2022, it acquired the German additive materials company Covestro AG for $43 million.
Meanwhile, Stratasys has been dealing with its own takeover attempts. Nano Dimension, another Israeli company in 3D printed electronics, has been making bids to acquire it.

Desktop Metal was founded in 2015, says the firm, to make metal and carbon fiber 3D printing accessible to all engineers, designers, medical professionals and manufacturers. The company says it has paired 3D printing technologies that we view as truly production capable with performance materials and select applications and technologies to help drive the next generation of additive. Achieving this goal requires speeds and costs that compete with conventional manufacturing, as well as new levels of uptime and reliability in 3D printing.
