Interview: Stratasys & RPS directors discuss the latest 3D printing acquisition
Stratasys (Korea) and Director of
RPS, respectively, have been communicating clandestinely using personal emails and personal calendars, not wanting to risk letting the cat out of the bag before everything was tied up.
On Thursday February 18
th, 2021, it was no longer time to keep quiet the negotiations between the two companies, but instead to announce that Stratasys had acquired the UK-based supplier of stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing hardware for an undisclosed amount. It was the second such deal Stratasys had revealed in three months, after the $100m takeover of Origin in December, and again was described as a move to ensure that Stratasys is the âfirst choice polymer 3D printing provider for designers, engineers and manufacturers.â
