Printing Money Episode 29: 3D Printing Deals and Analysis with Alex Kingsbury

Printing Money is back with Episode 29. Alex Kingsbury (Product Line Manager – AM, nLIGHT) is back. Need we say more to convince you to listen? Either way, we’ll say a little more.

Episode 29 marks the first recording where Danny and Alex were in the same room. No promises, but maybe we’ll add a video element one of these days. Themes from this episode include metal powders transactions, Los Angeles, Hamburg, Australia (not even including Alex’s obvious Australian connection), and AM adjacent deals, and a number of follow-on rounds the companies of which we’ve been tracking on Printing Money for some time now.

And yes, we devote some coverage to Nano Dimension!

There are, as always, some very memorable lines sprinkled amongst (and very much part of) the fount of knowledge and insight that Danny and Alex offer.

Please enjoy Episode 29 and check out our previous episodes too.

This episode was recorded May 14, 2025.
