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 basically flat results on the major exchanges, although the Shanghai composite index did fall 1.5%. Somehow, this effect mostly did not percolate through to the 3D print companies, with several surprising changes.
Farsoon is far and away the leader of the pack, and this week they rose yet another 18%. This is likely due to Chinese investors seeing the company as a long-term play, boosted by big revenue increases last year. This year hasn’t been quite as good, but that didn’t seem to bother investors.
Xometry rose almost ten percent, likely on news of a new and important partnership with Siemens. Combine that with recent financials all showing big increases, and you have a scenario where investors are attracted.
Bright Laser did not follow the lead of Farsoon with a big jump this week, and instead settled down around five percent lower. Strangely, even though their revenues in Q1 were up almost 44%, investors seem to have already priced that in. Then there’s something else: evidently, in late 2025, they were “probed by a securities regulator”, according to this report, dated December 31st. It may be that this could be why Bright Laser lags Farsoon.
Velo3D rose an astonishing 38% this week, likely due to very positive financials. Their revenue in Q1, for example, was 48% higher than last year, and gross margins increased as well. This is quite a change for a company that was having serious troubles not too long ago. The recent valuation jumps appear large because they were coming from a low point.
3D Systems rose 23%, a very healthy rise for a company that has been more or less stalled in valuation for quite a while. Their recent financials provided relatively good news, which showed some stability. The company has been riding on restructuring and divestitures, and now we may have reached a stable point, which could have been noticed by investors.
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.
