Nano Dimension sells Markforged and Stratasys takes the spoils

Published on May 29, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

Nano Dimension has sold its stake in Markforged to focus on its own technologies and clean up its accounts. For its part, Stratasys is left with key assets from Markforged, such as its patent portfolio and customer base, expanding its offering in composite materials and metals. The transaction reflects the consolidation taking place in the 3D printing industry.

Patent strategy and reinforcement in materials 🏭

Stratasys will integrate Markforged's patents into its ecosystem, allowing it to compete in the metals and composites segment without having to develop everything from scratch. Markforged's customer base, focused on industrial manufacturing, joins Stratasys's portfolio, which already includes FDM and PolyJet technologies. This move aims to block competitors like 3D Systems and HP in sectors such as automotive and aerospace.

Nano stands alone and Stratasys makes the purchase 🍅

Nano Dimension has decided it no longer wants to play with Markforged and prefers to focus on its own machines. Meanwhile, Stratasys is rubbing its hands together: it has secured patents and customers without having to buy the entire company, like someone going to the market and taking only the best tomatoes. Consolidation continues, and those who don't run, fly (or run out of spare parts).
