From a reading of court documents, creditors would prefer a quick sale by early February. But either way, the firm’s current shareholders will likely be wiped out, and there will likely be more turmoil for the remaining 700 employees, many of whom are in Seattle.

Additive manufacturing (AM), more popularly known as 3D printing, describes a group of technologies used to produce objects through the addition rather than the removal of material. AM was first used commercially in the mid-1980s for the creation of prototypes, models, and visualization tools. More recently, however, advances in printer and materials technology have allowed AM to expand to applications such as tooling and end-user part production.1
The latest comprehensive global scientific assessment of climate change, released on Sunday, sounds the direst warning yet about the need to drastically reduce greenhouse-gas emissions.
