Desktop Metal

Developer of 3D metal printers designed to make 3D printing accessible for engineering teams. The company’s 3D metal printers are office-friendly and do not require third party equipment or special facilities, enabling engineering and manufacturing teams to produce metal parts from prototyping to mass production in an affordable way.

The company’s “non-destructive” printing methods have managed to largely fly under the radar, with minimal press coverage until now — making them a pretty ideal acquisition candidate.

Desktop Metal is positioning Forust as the name of the new manufacturing process now in the company’s portfolio. The technology utilizes cellulose dust and lignin, byproducts from the wood and paper industries, respectively.
