What Voxeljet does
Voxeljet is a German industrial 3D printing company founded in 1999 by Dr. Ingo Ederer at the Technical University of Munich, headquartered in Friedberg, Germany. The company develops and manufactures large-format additive manufacturing systems based on two proprietary technology platforms: Universal Binder Jetting (UBJ), used for sand, PMMA, and ceramic prints in foundry and investment casting applications, and High Speed Sintering (HSS), a laser-free polymer process for functional plastic parts. Its product portfolio spans compact prototyping systems (VX200, VX200 HSS, VX1000) through large-format serial production machines (VX1000 HSS, VX1300 X, VX2000), with the VX4000 holding the position of the world's largest industrial 3D printer for sand at 4,000 x 2,000 x 1,000 mm build volume, and the VX9000 under joint development with GE Vernova and Fraunhofer IGCV targeting offshore wind components.
Voxeljet generates revenue through four streams: sale of industrial 3D printing systems (hardware), proprietary printing materials and consumables (PA12, PP, TPU, PEBA, EVA, ceramics, PMMA), on-demand 3D printing services via operated service centers, and technical services including the voxeljet Academy, machine maintenance, and financing. Distribution runs through direct enterprise field sales and a global partner network, targeting industrial customers in foundries, aerospace, automotive, energy, architecture, and consumer goods. Named enterprise customers include Mercedes-Benz, Airbus, Tyler Union, Liberty Pattern Company, TITAL, Lindner, Brose, Amazone, and Doka.
Voxeljet was previously publicly listed on the NYSE under ticker VJET and delisted in March 2024 following a debt restructuring with Anzu Partners. In 2025/2026 it completed a merger with ExOne under the Anzu-backed ExOne Global Holdings, reuniting two binder jetting pioneers that originally split in 2003 and creating a combined platform with approximately 500 installed systems worldwide. The combined entity is led by Eric Bader as CEO, with voxeljet's Rudolf Franz serving on the new Supervisory Board.

Voxeljet partnerships and signals
Strategic signalPartnerships
Three partnerships are on record, tiered core, flagship and strategic.
- ExOne Global HoldingscoreExOne and voxeljet completed their merger under ExOne Global Holdings in 2025/2026, reuniting two companies that pioneered industrial binder jetting technology after splitting in 2003 due to patent-related issues. The combined entity operates over 500 installed systems worldwide, consolidates ExOne's leadership in digital sand casting with voxeljet's expertise in large-format industrial 3D printing.
- GE Vernova / Fraunhofer IGCVflagshipvoxeljet is jointly developing the VX9000, the world's largest 3D printer for sand, with GE Vernova and Fraunhofer IGCV. The project targets printing large turbine components for the GE Haliade-X offshore wind turbine. The development aims to reduce CO2 footprint in both production and application, enable localized manufacturing near offshore wind projects, and shorten production timelines by two months.
- Loramendistrategicvoxeljet and Loramendi jointly developed the ICP (Industrial Core Production) line, the first 3D printing production line for additive serial manufacturing of sand cores. This partnership represents a major step toward industrialization of core production at scale.

Voxeljet competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- EOS GmbH: Germany-headquartered industrial 3D printing systems vendor with deep penetration in automotive, aerospace, and industrial customers using SLS/DMLS/MJF-adjacent platforms. Directly comparable to voxeljet on the industrial systems, target customer (Tier-1 manufacturers), and German/European footprint dimensions; differentiated by laser-based metal sintering versus voxeljet's binder jetting and HSS.
- Desktop Metal: Binder jetting and metal 3D printing competitor, notably the prior acquirer of ExOne assets. Highly comparable on binder jetting technology, foundry/aerospace customer overlap, and on-demand service business model — making it the most direct U.S. competitor to the voxeljet+ExOne combined platform.
- SLM Solutions: Metal laser powder-bed fusion systems vendor serving aerospace and automotive Tier-1 customers. Comparable to voxeljet's industrial foundry/aerospace customer overlap and multi-laser system architecture, though competing via metal powder-bed fusion rather than binder jetting technology.
Broad incumbents
- Stratasys: Public incumbent in polymer 3D printing (FDM, PolyJet, SAF) serving aerospace, automotive, and industrial prototyping customers. Comparable as a competing industrial polymer 3D printing systems vendor, but with a much broader materials and technology portfolio and significantly larger scale than voxeljet.
- 3D Systems: Long-standing public 3D printing incumbent offering a broad portfolio across polymers, metals, and ceramics with both systems and on-demand services. Comparable as an enterprise 3D printing systems competitor across aerospace, automotive, and industrial verticals, but operating at meaningfully larger scale and breadth.
- HP Inc. Broad incumbent in industrial polymer 3D printing via Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) technology, targeting automotive, consumer goods, and industrial production parts. Comparable to voxeljet's HSS polymer systems business on end-use applications and enterprise customer base, though HP operates at much larger scale across print hardware.
- Trumpf: Industrial laser and machine tool maker with a substantial metal additive manufacturing business (TruPrint) serving aerospace and automotive Tier-1s. Comparable to voxeljet's industrial customer base and capital-equipment business model, though focused on laser powder-bed fusion rather than binder jetting.
- Renishaw: Established UK-based metrology and metal additive manufacturing (RenAM) systems vendor with deep penetration in aerospace and medical implant manufacturing. Comparable as an industrial 3D printing systems vendor to aerospace and industrial customers, complementing voxeljet's foundry and aerospace pipeline.
Emerging players
- Carbon: Digital Light Synthesis (DLS) polymer additive manufacturing vendor serving automotive, consumer goods, dental, and industrial customers. Comparable as a competing polymer 3D printing systems vendor focused on end-use production parts rather than prototyping — directly adjacent to voxeljet's HSS use case.
- Markforged: Industrial 3D printing vendor for metal and composite end-use parts, targeting manufacturers and large enterprises with bundled hardware/software offerings. Comparable to voxeljet on industrial end-use production use cases and software-integrated system sales motion, though differentiated by metal extrusion and continuous fiber technology.
