Additive Manufacturing industry leaders to discuss investment strategies

The sixth annual AM Investment Strategies online roundtable is scheduled for November 5, preceding Formnext 2026. Hosted by Additive Manufacturing Research and Cantor Fitzgerald, the event will address the evolving business landscape of the additive manufacturing (AM) sector.

Industry leaders and market analysts will discuss how companies must now demonstrate clear growth paths, customer bases, and specific applications to attract investment. The panel includes executives such as Phil DeSimone (Carbon), Yoav Zeif (Stratasys), and Sam O’Leary (Nikon SLM Solutions), alongside Cantor Fitzgerald Managing Director Troy Jensen and Additive Manufacturing Research Executive Vice President Scott Dunham.

The discussion comes as the 3D printing industry undergoes significant shifts, including major mergers, acquisitions, and restructurings. While sectors like aerospace, defense, and medical applications continue to expand, the market has become increasingly complex as companies strive to convert technological demand into sustainable business models.
