Stratasys CEO Zeif: Why now for additive manufacturing mergers
Sept. 8, 2023
The head of 3D printer maker Stratasys explains why it’s bidding to buy a chief rival and why other competitors are trying to buy his company.
Additive manufacturing giant Stratasys is in the middle of a consolidation bidding war, with competitors 3D Systems and Nano Dimension Ltd. trying to buy the Israeli/American company while it has launched its own bid to merge with rival Desktop Metal.
Stratasys CEO Yoav Zeif recently spoke with editors from IndustryWeek (like PMM, an Endeavor Business Media publication) about why the 3D printing world is in the midst of such a feeding frenzy, what needs to happen to get additive techniques up to mass-production scale and where the technology should be going in the next few years.
