Five months after Nexa3D acquired Essentium, the integration process is well underway. Despite initial perceptions that Nexa3D might be sidelining Essentium and founder Blake Teipel, the reality is more strategic. Essentium’s Texas offices are set to close in the summer, with operations being consolidated at Nexa3D’s Ventura, California site. While Teipel will not have a formal position at the company, the relationship between him and Avi Reichental, CEO of Nexa3D, remains positive and cooperative, ensuring a smooth transition.
