Mr. Rudolf Franz, Chief Executive Officer of voxeljet, commented: "In our on-demand printing Services segment, demand continues to be very robust - both in Europe and the US. This high demand is also driven by large production orders, which is very exciting. Based on those high revenues from on-demand printing Services, we expect higher revenues for our Systems segment as customers move from buying parts to running their own 3D printers. We are laser-focused on collecting orders for 3D printers."

Regarding the new, extremely large 3D printer prototype for GE Wind Energy: the development and assembly is progressing as planned. The build area of the new binder-jetting printer is more than 70 square meters, which is, to our knowledge, an order of magnitude larger than comparable systems from other players in the industry. The first printing test should be possible in the coming months.

Regarding High Speed Sintering (HSS): we successfully installed a new VX1000HSS printer in record time, around two weeks, for a client in Germany. The VX1000 HSS has undergone significant improvements lately: mechanical part properties were further optimized and we can now achieve these consistent results across the entire build platform.
