Vision Miner, provider of industrial 3D printing solutions, reports the acquisition of AddWise, industrial manufacturer of 3D printing machines and related products valued at $14 million. This strategic move solidifies Vision Miner's position in the additive manufacturing industry, enhancing its in-house manufacturing capabilities and expanding its global footprint.

"By combining our 8 years of experience and success in the industry with AddWise's advanced manufacturing capabilities, we are now better positioned than ever to deliver the most innovative and reliable industrial 3D printing solutions to our global customer base."

Vision Miner has been trusted by industry leaders such as NASA, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, SpaceX, Tesla, and the US Air Force and Army.

The acquisition of AddWise is the beginning of Vision Miner's expansion plans. With new facilities in the USA and Europe, the factory is expanding its production line while also bringing in new machinery for automation of other products. With new products in development, Vision Miner will soon be entering more markets in the additive manufacturing industry.

Vision Miner currently has over 25 dealers worldwide and plans to continue expanding its global presence by accepting new qualified dealers to their team. This expansion will allow the company to bring theirproducts to more users worldwide.

"Our mission is to revolutionize the additive manufacturing industry by providing the most advanced, reliable, and cost-effective solutions to businesses worldwide," adds Smith.
