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 healthy gains on most major markets, and the leaderboard jumped a massive six percent. However, most of that change was focused at the top of the board.
At that top, we now have Farsoon, which overtook Bright Laser with an almost twelve percent gain this week. Bright Laser had been at the top of the leaderboard for a very long time.
What caused Farsoon to jump ahead this week? It seems that this week the company granted almost three million restricted shares to 95 employees as part of a 2025 incentive plan. This could have been seen as a very positive sign by investors: if staff are making their targets, then things must be good, right? That appears to have driven the company higher.
Most of the 3D print companies soared on the general market sentiment, some more than others. Stratasys and 3D Systems both rose, seven and ten percent respectively. However, neither presented any official news to cause a jump. It’s possible that investors see them as a safe haven for 3D print investment, as compared to some of the other more volatile options.
Nano Dimension somehow fell during this big week. That’s likely due to investors settling down after the news of the company abruptly appointing a new CEO, the third in less than a year. In addition, the company has sold off several of its most recent acquisitions, leaving it with considerably less tech than it had control of six months ago. It could be that investors are now seeing more limited growth possibilities based on the shrinking technology base.
AML3D grew almost 14% this week, likely due to the release of an investor presentation. In the presentation, they showed the company’s increasing relationship with military clients, one of the booming areas for additive manufacturing lately.
Massivit continued the fall in valuation this week. Since the company’s stock price is hovering dangerously near 52-week lows, some investors take that as a signal to sell, causing the valuation to drop.
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.
