And in AM (Additive Manufacturing) news. Nano Dimension acquires Desktop Metal (NANOD + DM) In related news, Shapeways a 3D printing services company files for bankruptcy. Here is a summary of the recent events generated by a LLM: It's been a busy week in the Additive Manufacturing (AM) industry, with several significant developments taking place. Here are some of the highlights: - McLaren has announced a partnership with Divergent to use Additive Manufacturing for producing chassis components in their next-generation supercars. - A new report titled "State of Chinese Additive Manufacturing: Market Opportunity Brief" has been released, analyzing the current state and future prospects of the AM industry in China. - 3D Systems and Precision Resource have announced a strategic partnership aimed at advancing metal Additive Manufacturing applications in high-criticality markets. Additionally, there have been some notable mergers, acquisitions, and other strategic moves in the AM space recently, such as Nano Dimensions acquiring Desktop Metal and Shapeways filing for bankruptcy. These changes reflect the dynamic and competitive nature of the AM industry, as companies seek to stay ahead of the curve and capitalize on new opportunities. Our take at Numorpho Cybernetic Systems (NUMO): When a disruptive technology eventually becomes mainstream, it leads to a lot of buyouts from larger companies that include that facet into their portfolio of offerings, mergers take place or companies without the right vision or financial backing simply fold. This happened with internet search companies, content management providers, ecommerce and marketing tools providers, and Wanna-Be's in the blockchain space. Additive Manufacturing is the newest in such graduations and although there have been rumblings for the past year and a half, it has finally happened. As we look ahead, it will be interesting to see how these shifts impact the overall landscape of AM. Will this consolidation lead to fewer players with more power, or will new startups emerge to challenge the status quo? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: the AM industry is in for some exciting changes. #additivemanufacturing #am #3dprinting

Are big-box PCB brokers worth it? Some of today’s dedicated PCB brokers are $100 million operations. They have become a business within a business, adding significantly to the cost of buying printed circuit boards. Is the value they provide any better? Years ago, brokers were small operations that offered a cost-effective service to their customers. Brokers started as sellers of domestically made product and then followed board manufacturing as it transitioned overseas. In that role, they offered lower board prices while handling all the details of dealing with offshore manufacturers. Brokers capitalized on inefficiencies in the PCB manufacturing supply chain and also eased labor force challenges that continue to this day. It was a symbiotic relationship that has served the PCB industry well. But the current wave of mergers and acquisitions among PCB brokers leaves us with much larger firms that are not as efficient as they once were on pricing, delivery or customer service, in my opinion. What used to be an obvious value-add has become bloated with ever increasing costs and often a maze of corporate red tape the board buyer must deal with. I’m not saying these big-box brokers don’t provide a valuable service in some circumstances. But in this highly competitive market, PCB buyers shouldn’t confuse a heavier supply chain with one that is more efficient.
