Stratasys has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire MarkForged, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Nano Dimension, in an all-cash transaction valued at $42.5 million, subject to customary adjustments.

In 2025, Markforged generated approximately $70 million in revenue, including their Metal Binder Jetting product line, which Nano Dimension will retain. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.

MarkForged provides end-to-end Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) solutions. Their integrated platform, The Digital Forge, combines hardware, in-house materials, and secure software including simulation, part management, and automated print optimization. By leveraging Continuous Carbon Fiber technology, MarkForged enables industries such as aerospace, defense, automotive, and food and beverage to produce light, strong parts.

“This acquisition further advances our capabilities to meet customers’ growing needs in critical areas such as defense and aerospace at a time when additive manufacturing continues to displace traditional manufacturing for high requirement applications in production,” says Dr. Yoav Zeif, chief executive officer of Stratasys. “We believe that our teams can immediately reinvigorate revenue growth by adding MarkForged, Inc.’s products and software systems as we leverage our leading partner networks."

Strategic and Financial Benefits of the Transaction:

Benefits include the following:

  • Enhances portfolio through Continuous Carbon Fiber Technology: MarkForged’s material technology, leveraged across its portfolio of FFF 3D printers, enables high-strength, lightweight parts that add to Stratasys’ portfolio of advanced composite solutions. This offering can support aerospace and defense use cases for tooling, fixtures, ground support equipment, and select production parts.
  • Complementary Software Capabilities: MarkForged's software platform is poised for manufacturing workflow and remote printing, including features such as simulation and inspection. MarkForged also has expertise in customer-centric workflows and integrated ecosystems for digital manufacturing initiatives.
  • Expands Materials Offering of High-Performance Polymer and Metal Filaments: MarkForged has amanufacturing process to develop a range of high performance polymer and metal filaments.
  • Expected to Deliver Accretion and Cost Synergies: Within one year of closing, Stratasys expects accretion to gross margins and to realize meaningful cost synergies, along with positive EBITDA contribution. Stratasys intends to update guidance following the closing of the transaction.
  • Reshapes Go-To-Market Network Coverage and Geographic Presence: Bringing MarkForged’s partner and reseller network together with Stratasys’ is expected to strengthen Stratasys’ partner network and generate cross-sale opportunities.
