While billion-dollar giants in the metal 3D printing space face financial distress, The Virtual Foundry remains stable and growing. Founder Bradley Woods explains why the “walled garden” model failed and why the future of additive manufacturing belongs to open materials, not proprietary hardware.
In a rapidly evolving landscape of metal 3D printing, understanding the contrasting journeys of Desktop Metal and The Virtual Foundry reveals valuable lessons about sustainability and innovation; while Desktop Metal’s ambitious push for hardware dominance met a challenging reality of high costs and integration woes, The Virtual Foundry embraced a unique pathway, championing accessibility and adaptability through its groundbreaking Filamet technology, empowering a diverse range of users from hobbyists to enterprises, and carving out a resilient niche where creativity and efficiency thrive, thereby proving that the future of manufacturing lies not in complexity but in simplicity and user empowerment.
