NEW YORK — (BUSINESS WIRE) — August 11, 2022 — Shapeways Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SHPW) (“Shapeways” or the “Company”), a leader in the large and fast-growing digital manufacturing industry, announced its results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

“During the second quarter we made tangible progress across our broad spectrum of additive manufacturing capabilities to key large and growing industry verticals. We continued to execute on our growth initiatives, which further strengthened our position as a leading provider of digital manufacturing,” said Greg Kress, Shapeways’ Chief Executive Officer. “We combine high quality, flexible on demand manufacturing with purpose built proprietary software that enables our customers to rapidly transform digital designs into physical products, thereby helping to drive efficiency across the supply chain. As part of our external growth efforts, we completed three acquisitions adding complementary technologies, expanding our customer base, and accelerating our product diversification. We also enhanced our senior leadership team and our board of directors with talented and experienced individuals that we believe will contribute to our execution efforts as we grow the company.”

Business Updates

The Company made progress on each of its key growth initiatives.

• Expansion of its additive manufacturing capabilities – The Company enhanced its internal offerings to serve a wider spectrum of existing customer needs, including:
  • added industrial precision metal printing capabilities with investment in EOS Direct Metal Laser Sintering and GE Arcam Electron Beam Melting Printing;
  • broadened its plastics printing ability to the U.S. with the expansion of its HP Multi Jet Fusion footprint; and
  • expanded its certifications with ITAR registered manufacturing capabilities and an additional ISO 9001 Certified manufacturing location with the acquisition of LinearAMS, which was completed in the quarter.
• Executing a comprehensive go-to-market strategy – The Company started to win new business in its target industries while building its pipeline with enterprise level customers in key verticals, such as medical, aerospace, automotive, and industrial verticals.
• Offering more traditional manufacturing services – The Company accelerated the development of its outsourced supply chain capabilities to support traditional manufacturing with the acquisition of MFG.com ("MFG") which was completed in the quarter. The MFG supplier network provides Shapeways access to suppliers with manufacturing services covering molding, machining, and sheet metal.
• Commercializing its software –The Company continued the rollout of its OTTO Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) offering and completed the acquisitions of MFG and MakerOS, both of which are expected to accelerate its product development roadmap and provide a strong lead base to offer its software. Shapeways’ software digitizes and removes friction from the end-to-end manufacturing process and manages complex workflows which enables efficient high-quality manufacturing at scale.

As previously announced, during the quarter, the Company completed three strategic acquisitions which advance its objectives of accelerating its OTTO SaaS go-to-market plan, adding complementary manufacturing capabilities, and deepening reach into key target verticals. These acquisitions include:

• MFG.com: Helps custom part manufacturers grow their business by making it easy for them to be discovered on its cloud-based Request for Quote ("RFQ") management platform and helps buyers to find the best possible manufacturer that fits their needs through a set of supplier and buyer marketplaces mainly for traditional manufacturing. The Company believes that MFG fits well into its software strategy, adds immediate features with its marketplace products, and is expected to contribute to the acceleration of OTTO’s phased rollout.
• MakerOS: Offers a SaaS service to facilitate design, prototype, and production processes for manufacturers and service providers. MakerOS brings features to OTTO’s product vision, particularly enhanced quoting, project management, and customer communications tools.
• Linear AMS: An expert in plastics molding, tooling, and production, predominantly in the automotive industry. Headquartered in Michigan, Linear AMS has blue chip automotive customers and certifications, and access to their respective suppliers.
