3D printing market sees consolidation with Stratasys, Desktop Metal, and 3D Systems acquisition proposals.
3D Systems has proposed an unsolicited bid to acquire Stratasys, following Stratasys' announcement of plans to merge with Desktop Metal. Stratasys had previously rejected a bid from shareholder Nano Dimension. The proposed acquisition by 3D Systems comes in at $7.50 in cash and 1.2507 in stock per share, just shy of Nano Dimension's $18 per share proposal. Stratasys will "carefully review" the new proposal ahead of the planned Desktop Metal deal, set to close in Q4.
