活页夹喷射3D打印机制造商ExOnehas predicted that its annual revenue will increase by 10-12% in its provisional Q4 2020 financials.
For the three months ending December 31st 2020, the company expects to have generated revenue of $17.0 to $17.5 million, which would constitute a 10-12% increase compared to Q4 2019. The better than expected results follow the unveiling of a ‘strategic partnership’ withRapidiathat will effectively see ExOne market its ‘two-step’ 3D printing machines.
Together, the announcements have caused ExOne’s share price to rise by 35%, increasing from $44.37 to $55.26 by close of trade on Monday. According to John Hartner, CEO of ExOne, the company is now in an optimal position to build on its portfolio, starting with the launch of the new Rapidia-powered systems.
“We are excited about the opportunities ahead of us in 2021 as we continue to expand our product portfolio,” said Hartner. “Given our enhanced liquidity position and current market conditions, we believe 2021 is the right time to accelerate investments in our technology and commercial infrastructure to optimize our future growth.”
ExOne 2020年第四季度收入指导
ExOne根据其初步财务数据，预计尽管Covid-19持续存在挑战，但第四季度2020年的毛利率将为21-22％。该公司还将超过其最初的第四季度收入畅销公司，为1674万美元。，现在预计它将在来年实现15-25％的年收入增长。
Although ExOne won’t release its full financials until March 11th 2020, and the figures aren’t final, it has stated that it expects its expanded product portfolio to drive future growth. While the pandemic’s direction could still impact on these projections, the company did deliver a60% revenue increase in Q3 2020,星期四s achieving them would be consistent with its recent financial performance.
Desktop Metal’s decision to go public去年还促使人们对粘合剂喷射技术的兴趣复兴，这在诸如Exone和Exone和voxeljet。Leveraging this goodwill, its new portfolio of machines and cash liquidity that’s tripled to $60 million, the company now aims to grow its market share in 2021.
Hartner说：“我们很高兴在2020年下半年取得了超过20％的一流增长，尤其是在Covid-19的背景下，并考虑了去年其他AM同伴报告的挑战。”“这种表现反映了我们的活页夹喷射解决方案和我们全球团队的执行力。”
与Rapidia的“独家伙伴关系”
Exone宣布其第四季度财务指导以及与加拿大3D打印机OEM Rapidia的独家合作伙伴关系。到目前为止，这项交易已经使这些公司合作推出了X1F熔炉和金属Designlab系统，后者结合了Rapidia专有的“两步” 3D打印技术。
Unveiled by Rapidia in 2019, the technique was the first to allow water-bound metal and ceramic parts to go directly from a 3D printer into a furnace without requiring a debinding step. Through the firms’ agreement, ExOne will now be able to leverage the technology to broaden its offering to clients, as well as bolstering its own capabilities.
The deal also gives ExOne first refusal over any acquisition of its Vancouver-based partner, and sees its founder and serial entrepreneur Dan Gelbart join as a ‘technology advisor.’ In his new role, Gelbart will drive further R&D of the new two new machines, which are now available to order with shipping to begin in Q2 2021.
Gelbart说：“我们很高兴能利用Exone的全球营销和销售团队来帮助世界各地的客户享受我们革命性技术的好处。”“我还希望将两家公司的深厚技术知识结合起来。”
Exone的金属3D打印竞争对手
根据Exone的说法，它的新型Rapidia驱动的机器旨在“直接与其他绑定的金属3D打印系统竞争”。这将金属designlab 3D打印机置于Desktop Metal’s new Studio System 2，它还具有基于核心打印机和炉子单元的流线型两步打印过程。
Like the Metal Designlab, the Studio 2 combines the debind-sinter stage into one, reducing the system’s footprint while eliminating any need for the use of harmful chemicals. Elsewhere, ExOne has also stated that with its new system, it aims to challengeMarkforged的金属X 3D打印机, which was launched back in 2017.
Parts produced using the Metal X feature a waxy polymeric binder, but the system is similar to the Metal Designlab in that it enables the production of metal objects with complex internal structures. By comparison, ExOne’s new 3D printer uses evaporative water-based supports to allow the assembly of similarly intricate parts.
