voxeljet AG
Large-format industrial binder jetting 3D printer manufacturer for foundry sand molds, cores, and polymer parts; NYSE: VJET.
voxeljet AG is a German industrial 3D printing systems manufacturer headquartered in Friedberg, Bavaria, near Augsburg, with roots tracing to 1999 when predecessor company Generis GmbH was founded at the Technical University of Munich by Dr. Ingo Ederer, Rainer Höchsmann, and Prof. Dr. Joachim Heinzl. The company specializes in large-format binder jetting technology — branded as Universal Binder Jetting (UBJ) — in which powdered materials such as silica sand, PMMA, or ceramics are bonded layer by layer through the selective deposition of liquid binder to produce sand casting molds, cores, and plastic patterns without conventional tooling. voxeljet listed American Depositary Shares on the NYSE in October 2013 and subsequently moved to NASDAQ before transitioning to OTC markets in April 2024, with the ticker VJTTY.
The company's VX4000 system is one of the world's largest commercially available 3D printers for sand casting molds, providing a continuous build volume of 4 x 2 x 1 meters and enabling tool-free production of complex geometries impractical to achieve with conventional pattern and core box tooling. In 2025, voxeljet completed benchmark production runs on the larger VX9000 platform, printing sand molds up to 7.5 meters in length that were subsequently cast at the Baettr Foundry in Sweden, with a single casting weighing 7,200 kilograms. Early commercial customers included BMW AG and Daimler AG, for which voxeljet delivered sand-based printing systems as early as 2002, establishing the company's credentials with high-volume automotive foundry operations.
Beyond direct equipment sales, voxeljet operates an on-demand 3D parts printing service that allows foundries and product designers to order sand molds or PMMA patterns without purchasing capital equipment, lowering the barrier to adopting additive tooling for short production runs or prototype castings. Applications span aerospace, automotive, wind energy, and heavy industry, where large and geometrically complex molds must be produced with short lead times and without the cost of hard tooling. By combining very large build envelopes, an industrial-grade binder jetting process, and a service bureau model, voxeljet provides manufacturers with an additive manufacturing pathway that compresses casting development cycles and supports individualized or low-volume production runs at foundry scale.
