Formlabs Acquires Micronics to Further Advance Accessible SLS 3D Printing
Formlabs, the leader in 3D printing, announces the acquisition of Micronics, the Wisconsin-based 3D printing company, to continue paving the way for accessible SLS 3D printing. With the acquisition, the Micronics founders and team will join Formlabs in the company’s shared mission to make SLS 3D printing accessible for product designers, engineers, innovators, and other makers around the world.
Micronics is a new 3D printing company that announced its first desktop SLS 3D printer, Micron, on Kickstarter in June 2024. The printer is designed to deliver the strength and precision of SLS 3D printing technology in a compact form factor for detailed prototypes and durable end-use products. As the leader in SLS 3D printing with its Fuse 1 Series printers accounting for more than half of the world-wide powder bed fusion printers sold, Formlabs was attracted to Micronics for its shared focus on powerful and accessible 3d printing and demonstration of engineering excellence, which will enable Formlabs to accelerate its SLS 3D printing capabilities. As the first choice for engineers, designers, manufacturers, and decision-makers around the world, Formlabs continuously expands its ecosystem with the tools that make it possible for anyone to bring their ideas to life.
