Who buys it5
- Hospitals and surgeons, who buy medical software, surgical planning services and patient-specific guides, models or implants, directly or through medical-device company partners.
- Medical-device companies, which license software and may distribute Materialise-planned or printed devices under their own brands.
- Manufacturers and contract manufacturers in industries such as automotive, aerospace, consumer goods and hearing aids, who buy software licenses, engineering help or printed parts.
Show 2 more
- 3D printing machine makers, which work with Materialise on software that connects to and prepares jobs for their printers.
- Industrial companies ordering prototypes and parts, including through Materialise's online ordering service.
What it stands on, and what could break it
What the business leans on
- 1Medical-device company partners help distribute surgical planning services, guides and implants; some agreements grant exclusive rights in particular medical fields or products.
- 2One medical-segment customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenue (2025, high).
- 3Some printing materials, including materials used for filament-based, stereolithography and PolyJet printing, may have limited sources or supply and price volatility.
- 4Medical-device sales depend on maintaining required quality certifications, regulatory clearances and approvals in the countries where products are sold.
What could go wrong
- 1Medical-device rules require ongoing certifications, audits, safety reporting and technical documentation; losing required approvals or quality-system certifications could prevent sales or lead to product recalls.
- 2The industrial software business is shifting toward cloud subscriptions; customers may not adopt the new software and sales approach, and the transition could reduce existing license revenue.
- 3Revenue depends on industrial and medical customers, especially automotive, aerospace, orthopedic and cranio-maxillofacial markets, as well as on some large customers and distribution partners.

Built from Materialise NV’s own filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Figures are as reported, with per-share history restated onto today’s share basis. This company files in EUR. Figures are converted to US dollars at $1.00 = 0.902450 EUR, the current rate, applied to every period alike — so growth and margins are the company’s own and not the exchange rate’s. This describes a business — it is not investment advice and not a recommendation to buy or sell anything.
