Velo3D reported Q2 2026 revenue of $20.7 million, up 52.3% year-over-year, driven by higher average selling prices, product mix improvements, and increased recurring payment services (RPS) revenue from higher production volumes. Gross margin expanded to 21.5% from negative 11.7% in Q2 2025, reflecting labor and overhead cost allocation refinements, higher ASPs, favorable product mix, and manufacturing efficiencies. GAAP net loss improved to $11.5 million from $13.3 million. Operationally, the company launched its Livermore Production Campus expected to triple manufacturing capacity and become operational later in 2026; expanded partnership with Mears Machine for distributed manufacturing with orders for additional Sapphire XC systems; and entered strategic partnership with Aurelia Technologies for next-generation gas turbine applications. Bookings totaled $29 million in Q2 with $31 million ending backlog. Cash position strengthened to $91.1 million through $50 million registered direct offering and $59.4 million at-the-market offering, reducing total debt by over 70% to $8.2 million. Management raised full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $65–75 million from $60–70 million and guided for sequential gross margin improvement, greater than 30% gross margin in H2 2026, and positive EBITDA in H2 2026.

Mears Machine orders its fifth Sapphire XC metal 3D printer from Velo3D, with options for two more, to scale production for aerospace, defense, energy, and space programs.

Velo3D plans a 288,747-square-foot metal 3D printing production campus in Livermore, California, opening by end of 2026.
Laser powder bed fusion system using eight 1 kW lasers with a build volume of 600 mm diameter x 550 mm height (1,000 mm height in the XC 1MZ variant), designed for large complex aerospace and energy components. Velo3D's SupportFree process enables geometries impossible on conventional LPBF machines—low-angle overhangs down to 0°, high aspect-ratio internal passages up to 3,000:1, and free-floating internal parts—critical for rocket engines and turbomachinery.
Integrated software stack pairing Flow (AI-driven print preparation for SupportFree geometries) with Assure (in-process quality monitoring and closed-loop process control). Flow generates optimized support-free build files from CAD without manual fixturing design; Assure monitors melt-pool signatures in real time and flags anomalies, enabling as-built qualification for aerospace and defense customers requiring ASTM/AMS traceability without destructive CT scanning of every part.
