GreatAmerica Financial Services and Ascentium Capital have both entered into strategic partnerships with Becoming 3D, a provider of 3D printers and print materials. The partnership will allow GreatAmerica and Ascentium to offer affordable leasing options for purchasing high end 3D printing equipment.

“Our goal is to help speed the adoption of 3D printing into mainstream manufacturing markets and to the general public,” said Becoming 3D CEO Grant Sadowski. “Industry experts estimate that up to 70% of traditional manufacturing companies lease their equipment. It only makes good business sense to bring that model to the world of 3D printing and additive manufacturing. Further, being able to offer the same finance options to home consumers as well is just good business sense.”
