Episode 23 is here, and it’s chock-full. Alex Kingsbury, nLIGHT Market Development Manager and, not to mention, co-creator of the Printing Money podcast, re-joins Danny and the result is 60 minutes of additive manufacturing (AM) deals and analysis.

First, we jump right in to cover Nano Dimension’s in-progress deals with Desktop Metal and Markforged. Then, we cover services bureaus, major public-private funding news, and a lot of venture capital (VC) raises and financings. Last, we touch on the recent news of the postponement of Formnext Chicago.

Here are just a few companies that get mentioned in this episode: Incodema, I3D, KAM, ADDMAN, Sintavia, Stifel North Atlantic, ASTRO America, Summers Value Partners, Stellantis, In-Q-Tel, Embedded Ventures, SpaceX, nTop, Seurat, NVIDIA, AE Ventures, HorizonX, Nimble Partners, AM Ventures, Breakthrough Victoria, Finindus, Sumitomo, and more.

Please enjoy Episode 23, and see you later this month at Formnext in Frankfurt, or, as Danny so well puts it, “The Super Bowl of 3D printing.”
