3D Metalforge Starts Trading on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX)

3D Metalforge (3MF) has begun trading on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). Founded in 2015, the leading additive manufacturing company specializes in 3D metal printing. After having seen 3 years of consecutive revenue growth, securing AUS$1.3 million in the fiscal year 2019, 3D Metalforge now possesses a positive revenue. Moreover, the company was issued 50,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares at $0.20 per share under the initial public offering, achieving an initial market capitalisation of $38 million after an oversubscribed AUD$10 million capital raising.

The CEO of 3D Metalforge, Matthew Waterhouse, remarked; “We are excited about becoming a listed company and welcome our new shareholders and thank them for the high level of interest and support. We now have a robust capital base to execute our expansion plans and are listing at time when strong industry tailwinds are driving growth and innovation across the Additive Manufacturing sector.” 3D printing technologies are at the foundation of 3D Metalforge’s transformative approach to industrial production. This in turn has allowed the company to produce existing high demand industrial parts with improved speed, cost, and environmental impact, compared to traditional methods of manufacturing.
