Velo3D Stock – Another 3D Printing Metals Stock?

SPACs are starting to form small herds. First, there was Velodyne and all the LiDAR stocks that followed it. Now, 3D printing metal stocks are forming a clique. First, Desktop Metal, then Markforged, and now Velo3D, a company we first came across back in 2017. Back then, they were operating under the radar, and today, […]

A Gloomy Forecast for Nano Dimension Stock

We’ve talked before about how themes that are easy to understand attract investors very quickly. Many of these are borderline scams. One of our readers recently asked us what happened to Scuderi, a company we warned about, that was “reinventing the motor.” Last we checked, they were involved in multiple lawsuits with prior investors accusing […]

Taking a Second Look at 3D Bioprinting Stock CELLINK

Why Have 3D Printing Stocks Been Going Up Lately?

Back when we first started investing in tech stocks, we often made the mistake of confusing short-term stock price performance with long-term potential. For example, we’d write a piece on some small tech stock pointing out a bunch of red flags and then panic when it doubled in price. The criticisms would usually come from […]

Six Manufacturing-as-a-Service Companies

Computer-aided design has been giving us digital twins long before the term became mainstream.

We’ve often wondered why stealth mode startups have websites. Isn’t being found the one thing you don’t want to happen when operating in stealth mode? Not so, says Bond Collective, a provider of “thoughtfully curated boutique work environments” that charges wantreprenuers $900 a month for “an unmatched experience.” In some cases, a stealth mode startup […]

Desktop Metal Stock and Additive Manufacturing 2.0

When the company that produces the world’s fastest metal 3D printers, Desktop Metal, announced their intentions to go public, shares of another metal 3D printing company, ExOne (XONE), soared. On the surface, this makes no sense. If ExOne’s competitor is successfully raising more capital to sell a superior metal 3D printer, shouldn’t that be bad […]
