3D Printing Funding in 2019 Projected To Have a Record Year

How is the funding environment shaping up for 3D printing in 2019? As we pass the mid-year mark, let’s see how the year-to-date metrics compare to the historical trends. The graph below shows 3D printing total funding by year, stacked by quarters.

3D Printing Funding Over Time

As the graphic demonstrates, 3D printing has amassed $770M through Q1 and Q2 of this year. This amount represents 218% of the total funding in 2018, and 278% of the funding through Q2 in 2018. The top three funding events in Q2 2019 include a $260M round into Carbon, a $10M round into Arris Composites, and a $4M round into Impossible Objects.

A straight-line projection of the completed funding this year would result in $1.5B, which is a whopping 436% of the total 2018 funding. By the same token, a weighted quarterly average projection of 2019 funding would result in $981M, which exceeds the total 2018 funding by 178%. Therefore, based on the mid-year data, 3D printing funding in 2019 is projected to surpass all previous annual funding totals.
