Stratasys announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire MarkForged, a wholly owned subsidiary of Nano Dimension, in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $42.5 million, subject to customary adjustments. The deal is expected to close in the second half of 2026, pending regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.
The acquisition is designed to strengthen Stratasys’ position in additive manufacturing applications that require production-grade performance at scale, particularly in aerospace, defense, automotive, and industrial sectors. MarkForged generated approximately $70 million in revenue during 2025, including its Metal Binder Jetting product line, which Nano Dimension will retain.
MarkForged is known for its end-to-end Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) solutions through its Digital Forge platform, which combines hardware, proprietary materials, and software capabilities such as simulation, part management, and automated print optimization. Its Continuous Carbon Fiber technology enables customers to manufacture lightweight yet high-strength parts for demanding industrial applications.
According to Stratasys, the acquisition will expand its distribution network, enhance its product portfolio, and create additional cross-selling opportunities. The company expects the transaction to improve its ability to address growing customer demand for resilient supply chains, manufacturing agility, and production-ready components.
The acquisition is also expected to strengthen Stratasys’ software capabilities. MarkForged’s platform includes manufacturing workflow, remote printing, simulation, inspection, and security-focused features, which are expected to complement Stratasys’ existing digital manufacturing offerings.
In addition, MarkForged’s portfolio of high-performance polymer and metal filaments will broaden Stratasys’ materials offerings across key industries, including aerospace and defense, automotive, and food and beverage manufacturing.
Financially, Stratasys expects the transaction to be accretive within one year of closing. The company anticipates improvements in gross margins, meaningful cost synergies, and positive adjusted EBITDA contribution during the first year following completion of the acquisition. Stratasys said it plans to update its financial guidance after the transaction closes.
The deal will also combine the partner and reseller networks of both companies, expanding Stratasys’ geographic reach and strengthening its go-to-market capabilities worldwide.
KEY QUOTE:
“This acquisition further advances our capabilities to meet customers’ growing needs in critical areas such as defense and aerospace at a time when additive manufacturing continues to displace traditional manufacturing for high requirement applications in production. We believe that our teams can immediately reinvigorate revenue growth by adding MarkForged, Inc.’s products and software systems as we leverage our leading partner networks. We are confident this transaction will strengthen Stratasys’ position in many of the largest and most structurally critical industries where performance, supply chain resilience, reliability, and scalability are essential.”
