Our take
Velo3D is a metal additive manufacturing solution that is looking to overcome common difficulties in 3D printing, by helping customers print and manufacture parts without compromising quality.
The metal additive manufacturing industry is one that is relatively slow-moving, but Velo3D is breathing new life into the space. As a new competitor in the market, it has already experienced significant growth and high machine unit sales. Differentiating from its competitors, Velo3D is offering an end-to-end process for customers in the aviation, power generation and energy industries.
