Nano Dimension Ltd. (Nasdaq: NNDM), a specialist in Additively Manufactured Electronics (AME)/3D-Printed Electronics (PE), and Micro Additive Manufacturing (Micro-AM) has acquired Global Inkjet Systems Ltd. (GIS).

GIS, based in Cambridge, UK, is a leading developer and supplier of high-performance control electronics, software, and ink delivery systems. Founded in 2006, the company is well known for inventing and delivering state-of-the-art 2D and 3D printing inkjet hardware and unique operating software. As a proven supplier to the additive manufacturing, market GIS supports a wide range of printheads from major manufacturers, including Fujifilm Dimatix, Konica Minolta, Kyocera, Ricoh, SII Printek, Toshiba TEC and Xaar. With this acquisition, Nano Dimension could carve itself a key role as a provider of 3D printed electronics for 3D printer component and 3D printer manufacturers.
