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 all major markets up over a percent, some substantially. This positive sentiment echoed on the 3D print leaderboard, which rose an amazing eight percent this week. As usual, the gains were not evenly distributed.
At the top of the list, Farsoon rose a whopping 17% this week. The rise is apparently due to significant positive sentiment from Chinese investors that see commercial space and aerospace as being good markets for the metal 3D print company. The move was so significant this week that a limit was tripped. It probably helped that the company’s valuation was held down in recent weeks, making the upward movement seem more dramatic.
Velo3D continues its rise, gaining 21% in value this week. While there was no specific news this week to drive this result, it seems that their previous announcements of a military deal and the US$30M placement are still causing this company’s value to rise.
3D Systems jumped an incredible 26% this week. For a very long time, the company’s valuation has been mostly flat. This week, however, the company issued statements indicating they were refocusing efforts on the defense industries, suggesting that it could become their largest segment later in 2026. This seems to me to be a goal, rather than something that has occurred. Nevertheless, it seems to have been sufficient for investors to pile in this week.
Sygnis rose 23% this week, another very positive gain. The reason appears to be announcements related to a US-linked drone initiative and an offer to participate in another drone program. Drones are a big deal these days, and Sygnis has positioned themselves to take advantage.
Stratasys rose 15% this week, with no specific news to drive this result. It may be that they are seen to be similar enough to 3D Systems and Velo3D by investors to capture some of the shine that landed on those companies this week.
On the other side of the coin, Titomic fell six percent this week. The company did issue notice of a leadership change in their European arm, which perhaps spooked some investors. That, and the normal volatility for this company.
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.
One change we are expecting is the addition of Creality, which recently filed documents to trade on the Hong Kong exchange.
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.
