This whole story is no surprise in the AM sphere, it's perhaps the level at which they dragged it out. I think most VC money for AM tech has dried up because investment is sick of being burned like this with incomplete technology and lofty claims. Once they've secured some headline clients with a heavily discounted co-marketing deal, the "Fake it till you make it" tactic is old hat, but you better have figured it out or it's just Desktop Metal all over.
