Why Nano Dimension Is Selling Markforged and What Stratasys Gains

The additive manufacturing sector is once again making headlines with news that revives one of the market’s most active chapters. Nano Dimension has announced the signing of a definitive agreement to sell Markforged to Stratasys, in an all-cash transaction valued at $42.5 million.

According to the press releases published today by both companies, Markforged generated approximately $70 million in revenue in 2025, but with operating losses estimated at around $15 million annually. As a result, selling the company made more sense than continuing to support it. It is worth noting that Nano Dimension had acquired Markforged in 2024 for approximately $116 million. According to Nano Dimension, “the transaction is expected to reduce annualized cash burn by approximately $15 million through a combination of direct and indirect operating cost savings.”

Nano Dimension acquired Markforged in 2024 and is now selling it to Stratasys, but the Metal Binder Jetting technology will be retained.

The sale is part of Phase 2 of the company’s three-stage strategic plan. Phase 1 focused on reducing operating expenses. Phase 2, which includes this transaction, involves selling business units to simplify the company. Phase 3, which Nano Dimension says is already underway, aims to, in the company’s own words, “evaluate strategic alternatives to maximize long-term shareholder value.” David Stehlin, CEO of Nano Dimension, summarized it this way: “This agreement positions Markforged for continued growth and success under Stratasys ownership.”
