While the 3D printing world obsesses over polymer extrusion, XJet is quietly building a $31.2M empire by printing ceramics and metals with the precision of an inkjet printer. This isn't just another additive manufacturing startup—it's a material science revolution waiting for the market to catch up.

"XJet isn't competing with desktop 3D printers—it's replacing traditional manufacturing for aerospace and medical implants."

• Nanoparticle jetting technology separates them from powder-bed fusion competitors
• Dual material capability (metals + ceramics) in one platform is rare
• 167 employees generating $31M = $187K revenue per employee (efficient)
• Strong Israeli manufacturing pedigree (Yam Refael roots)
• Low web presence = untapped content marketing goldmine

The real story here is capital efficiency. 167 people, $31.2M revenue, no external funding rounds listed. Either they've been quietly profitable for years or they're burning cash so efficiently it doesn't show. For investors, this is either a red flag or a dream scenario—depending on whether that revenue is sticky enterprise contracts or one-off equipment sales.
