Printing Money Episode 34: Formnext Review and Q3 2025 Public 3D Printing Earnings Review with Troy Jensen, Cantor Fitzgerald

Welcome to Printing Money Episode 34, or “The one where they got back ahead of the curve.” Troy Jensen (Managing Director, Cantor Fitzgerald) returns for back-to-back appearances in the name of delivering to you, the listener, analysis as timely as possible.

Herein, Danny and Troy review Q3 2025 3DP/AM public market earnings, but this episode was recorded just a week after Formnext 2025, so the conversation starts with a review of the 3DP/AM industry’s largest annual tradeshow. Large format polymer, LPBF Metals, China, Defense, Aerospace, and High-Temp FFF are all keywords.

Next comes the classical Q3 2025 analysis. The number of significant pureplay public 3DP/AM firms has gotten smaller, and with Nano Dimension (NNDM) currently in limbo, its earnings become less relevant and the number is even smaller.  Stratasys’ entrance into metal AM, 3D Systems’ healthcare and defense segments, scaling manufacturing at Materialise, and gross margins at Velo all get due coverage.

Happy holiday season, and please enjoy Episode 34 and check out our previous episodes too.

This episode was recorded December 2, 2025.
