Stratasys and Nano Dimension terminate the proposed Markforged acquisition

2 min read

Stratasys and Nano Dimension have mutually terminated the proposed $42.5 million sale of Markforged, citing longer and more costly regulatory approvals.

Stratasys and Nano Dimension have mutually terminated the proposed $42.5 million sale of Markforged, citing longer and more costly regulatory approvals.

A $42.5 million plan ends by mutual agreement

According to a Nano Dimension filing published in the United States securities disclosure system on November 12, 2026, the company agreed on May 27 to sell Markforged to Stratasys. The all-cash deal was valued at $42.5 million.

Both parties terminated the transaction by mutual agreement on November 11. They stated that obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals would take materially longer and cost more than initially anticipated. The filing does not say that a regulator had issued a final prohibition of the transaction.

Why this matters for industrial additive manufacturing

Markforged is a recognizable supplier of composite and metal additive manufacturing technologies, while Stratasys is a major player in industrial polymer printing. A change in ownership could affect product development, sales channels and service operations. Yet cancellation of the deal does not automatically change the operation of installed machines.

No concrete forecast about subsequent business moves can be deduced from this filing alone. The future ownership and commercial direction of Markforged should be assessed only as new official information appears.

What to monitor next

3DPS will be watching official statements about product support, spare parts, service coverage and any future commercial agreements involving Markforged. This report uses Nano Dimension’s securities filing as its primary record and deliberately omits unsupported market speculation.

Commodore 64 Ultimate Returns: A Retro Legend, Not a 3D-Printed One

Commodore.net has officially relaunched its legendary home computer as the Commodore 64 Ultimate, rebuilding the classic machine on modern FPGA hardware. We cover it here as a curiosity: it has no direct 3D printing angle, since the case is produced with classic injection molding using the original 1986 tooling, not 3D printing.
