“We are thrilled to bring together two of the most respected names in industrial binder-jet and large-format additive manufacturing,” said Whitney Haring-Smith. “ExOne and voxeljet each bring unique strengths and customer relationships. Under a single ownership and with unified leadership, we intend to accelerate innovation and deepen customer commitment.”
