We’ve got a lot to cover in today’s 3D Printing News Briefs, from business and additive manufacturing (AM) in Europe to automotive 3D printing, and generative design. Read on for all the details!
Velo3D Added as Member to Russell 3000 Index & Russell Microcap Index
Metal AM firm Velo3D announced that it’s been added to the membership of the broad-market Russell 3000® Index and the Russell Microcap® Index. This was effective when the U.S. market opened on June 29th, as part of the first 2026 Russell indexes reconstitution. These indexes are designed to reflect the shifting U.S. equity market, often used by investment bankers and institutional investors as benchmarks for active investment strategies. The reconstitution process is important to maintaining accurate representation. The June reconstitution captures up to the 4,000 largest U.S. stocks as of April 30th, 2026, and ranks them by total market capitalization. Companies are re-evaluated to determine where they stand along the investment styles spectrum, and the breakpoints between large, mid, and small cap are redefined, in order to make sure that any market changes that happened in the preceding period are captured. Membership is mainly decided by market-capitalization rankings and style attributes, and as a member, Velo3D is automatically included in the large-cap Russell 1000® Index or small-cap Russell 2000® Index, in addition to the appropriate growth and value style indexes.
“Being added to the Russell 3000 and Russell Microcap indexes is an important milestone for Velo3D. We have made meaningful strides in transforming the company, advancing our technology leadership, and creating value for shareholders. Inclusion in these widely followed indexes broadens our exposure to the investment community,” said Arun Jeldi, CEO of Velo3D.
CECIMO Formally Spins Out AM-Europe Into Dedicated Platform
For decades, CECIMO, the European Association of Manufacturing Technologies, has been working with policymakers, industry, and key stakeholders to promote additive as a strategic technology for the European industrial base. Last year, CECIMO and nine national associations formed AM-Europe, an initiative representing over 700 companies across Europe to give the AM sector a single, strong voice at the EU level. Now, AM-Europe has been formally launched as a dedicated European platform for AM, representing the evolution of CECIMO’s additive activities into a broader, more inclusive, more visible European initiative. The platform will work to continue advancing the vision it set out in last year’s Manifesto for a Competitive European Additive Manufacturing Sector: setting up the continent as a global AM powerhouse, and building an ecosystem that can develop and deploy AM over industrial sectors. AM-Europe operates within CECIMO’s governance framework, and is now opening participation to a wider range of AM stakeholders, including research organizations,
