Desktop Metal and Carbon (and GE) make the MIT 50 Smartest Companies 2017 list Additive Manufacturing
Each year the editors of the MIT Technology Review identify 50 companies creating new opportunities by combining important technologies and business savvy. Some in the MIT 50 Smartest Companies 2017 list are large enterprises that seem to be growing ever larger, like Amazon and Apple. Others, like IBM, or General Electric are old-guard giants betting on technology renewal. And the list is full of ambitious startups like SpaceX, which is changing the economics of space travel with reusable rockets; Face ++, a pioneer in face recognition technology; and it also includes two pure player additive-manufacturing firms: Carbon and Desktop Metal.
