Last month, we did an autopsy on metal 3D-printing stocks. Before that, we ditched our investment thesis around distributed manufacturing as the best strategy for betting on 3D printing. Extreme volatility in the 3D-bioprinting stock still in our Nanalyze Disruptive Tech Portfolio has left us underwater. Overall, 3D-printing stocks have performed pretty poorly, aside from […]
In a recent article, we wrote about an Israeli 3D printing startup that’s developing their flagship machine “capable of micron-resolution printing, with the capability to print thousands of parts in a single build.” The ability to 3D print objects at a micro or nanoscale opens doors for many new applications.

At the end of the day, humans are just vessels for hosts of different microorganisms. Maybe that’s helped shape our ability to innovate at the microscopic scale, leading to […]
Last month at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, toys for adults were officially allowed into the exhibition for the first time.

In 2013, your average American bought 7.5 pairs of shoes. Your average American woman will spend over $20,000 on shoes in her lifetime, […]
3D Printers for the average consumer keep dropping in price. A recent article by ALL3DP offers up 20 3D printers you can own for under $1,000 with 7 of these printers offered for $500 or less. None of these printers on offer are DIY either. All of these 20 printers are said to come fully […]
While the “3D Printing Industry” seems to have fallen out of favor with investors, the investment thesis hasn’t changed. This is a high growth disruptive technology that is expected to have tremendous growth in the coming years. While 3D printing investors can purchase the Nanalyze 3D Printing Stocks motif for a diversified portfolio of pure-play stocks, they should also […]
