Once again we take a look at the valuations of the major 3D printing companies over the past week.
Publicly traded companies are required to post their financial reports, as well as appear on stock markets. From there we can calculate the total value of their company by multiplying the current stock price by the number of outstanding shares. This number is the market capitalization, and represents the current valuation of the company.
It’s a great number of compare companies, as the market capitalization can be leveraged to provide more capabilities for the company. Shares could, for example, be used as collateral for a loan. That and similar maneuvers could generate cash with which the company might undertake new projects.
In other words, “market cap”, as it is known, is quite important.
You might think it’s not important to monitor these companies each week, as their value is realized only when stocks are sold. However, events happen to companies occasionally that cause their value to rise and fall, and this weekly post is where we track such things.
Note that our list here does not include all major 3D print companies. Not all 3D print companies are publicly traded, and thus we cannot officially know their true size, such as EOS. Others, like HP or Siemens, have very large 3D printing divisions, but are part a much larger enterprises and we cannot know the true size of their 3D printing activities.
Let’s take a look at the 3D printing companies on this week’s list.

This week saw very healthy results on major Western exchanges, particularly in the tech-heavy NASDAQ exchange. In China, the SSE fell more than a percent, but that did not seem to affect the 3D companies on the leaderboard.
Both Bright Laser and Farsoon seem to have been swept up in a general move to investing in the advanced manufacturing sector in China that occurred on August 31st. There was no official news from the companies, so this is solely due to market momentum. They benefited from significant valuation rises, 6.5 and 11% respectively. The increase in their value this week, approximately US$935M, is more than the value of 13 other companies on the leaderboard.
Creality also jumped up about nine percent, but as they are not an advanced manufacturing company, they were not part of the August 31st rush. Instead, this seems to be a bit of a bounce back after last week’s unexpected drop. In other words, the valuation is settling on its normal level.
Materialise rose ten percent based on an excellent financial report. They reported significant gains in quarterly revenue, increased EBITDA, net profit and even raised their guidance for future quarters. Those are all good signals to investors, who rewarded the company with a boost in valuation.
AML3D leapt up 16% this week, likely due to a combination of increased activity in the military segment and good financial reports. They reported record lease income, positive EBITDA, good cash reserves and a long line of orders carrying forward all the way into next year.
Titomic fell about 15%, probably due to poor financials (revenue and losses increased), and dilution from a share placement. The placement provided the new investors with a discount, but the market soon shifted the company’s valuation to that same discount level.
Massivit fell a huge 22%, likely due to poor financials. They reported lower revenue, apparently a 44% drop. While they were able to decrease the net loss, it appears that investors still drove down the valuation.
Steakholder Foods, the company developing 3D printed steaks, fell 19% this week. This is very curious because they recently announced plans to deploy their products in the US, which should gain them some revenue, possibly significantly so. However, the company had hinted at this move months ago, so it may have already been priced into the valuation.
What seems to have been the problem was their recent financial report, which showed literally zero revenue in the first half of 2026! They are clearly still developing a product, but there are signs that they are now on the clock to generate revenue within the next year.
Upcoming Changes
We’ve heard very little about companies intending to become publicly traded recently. This is due to the ongoing lack of investor interest in the technology. The technology’s reputation has suffered immensely in the investment community because of multiple large-scale investment failures in the past few years.
If you are aware of any other publicly-traded 3D print companies that should be on our leaderboard, please let us know!
Others In The Industry
While we’ve been following the public companies, don’t forget there are a number of private companies that don’t appear on any stock exchange. These privately-held companies likely have significant value, it’s just that we can’t know exactly what it is at any moment. The suspected bigger companies include EOS, Carbon and Formlabs.
Perhaps someday some of them will appear on our major players list.
Related Companies
Finally, there are a number of companies that are deeply engaged in the 3D print industry, but that activity is only a small slice of their operations. Thus it’s not fair to place them on the lists above because we don’t really know where their true 3D print activities lie.
