What Happens Next?
With Nano Dimension on the clock, the coming days will determine whether the acquisition proceeds or if further legal battles—and financial turmoil—await both companies.
Meanwhile, Desktop Metal issued a statement saying it “intends to move expeditiously toward closing as soon as possible, while continuing to serve its customers, employees, and stakeholders.”
Nano Dimension has not yet responded to the ruling.
