Acquisition
Leading cloud-based collaborative design and project management platform TeamPlatform is the latest company to be acquired by 3D printing industry titan 3D Systems.
The South California-headquartered organisation announced today (August 6th) that it plans to integrate TeamPlatform technology into both its professional and consumer offerings immediately, including Geomagic Solutions and Cubify.com.
TeamPlatform enables product design, manufacturing and engineering services companies to manage hundreds of small-to-large projects easily, facilitating the sharing and use of masses of various data. TeamPlatform delivers simple-to-use task management tools, reusable workspace templates and project meta-data structuring capabilities for effective, productive and affordable collaboration.
President and CEO of 3D Systems Avi Reichental enthusiastically welcomed TeamPlatform into the fold and commented: "TeamPlatform's powerful collaboration tools connect and expand our growing 3D content-to-print portfolio, multiplexing global productivity and real-time collaboration for our customers.
"We intend to immediately integrate it into our Geomagic Solutions and Cubify platforms for the benefit of our professionals and consumers globally."
This is the latest in a string of 3D Systems acquisitions and follows a similar deal with Phenix Systems. 3D Systems completed its acquisition of the French Direct Metal Selective Laser Sintering 3D printer provider last month.
