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.
