Nano Dimension led a successful effort to stop a proposed Stratasys-Desktop Metal merger in September. At the same time, 3D Systems also made a failed attempt to merge with Stratasys. Later in the fall, stock prices for a number of 3D printing companies declined significantly, and both Desktop Metal and Markforged faced delisting from the New York Stock Exchange.
Israel-based Nano Dimension had paused its acquisition efforts after the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war in October.
