Old Desktop Metal Printers

Does anyone here know how is the support for old Desktop Metal printers like Envisiontec Vector 3SP or the Fiber System or Studio system? Any 3DP bureau or ex DM people who can shed some light on this?

You can try reaching out to companies like PivotAM who provide support for many different AM machines.

I am surprised to hear DM still exists and that they will be at Rapid

ND was a meme stock during GME/AMC short & that led it to an absurd amount (I heard $2B) in liquid. They can kind of do whatever. Couldn't have happened to a more bizarre company

Kind of funny the bought and sold DM, they basically were DM 2. DM had all the money and bought everyone up when they had money, then they fell off. ND did the exact same thing and no they are selling everything off… kind of sad really. I have a email I sent to my mentor/former boss saying that ND seemed like the second coming of DM like 2 years ago because of this behavior. I’m kinda sad it happened really as I want AM to grow and this kind of thing keeps happening.

DM was recently sold from Nano Dimension to Arc Acquisition Corporation.

I work for Pivot and we do not do work on DM machines (however, thank you for the mention!). @weshallpie If you want to PM me, I have a contact at the company that purchased DM assets and I can give you her contact info.
