BOSTON — (BUSINESS WIRE) — May 10, 2023 — Desktop Metal, Inc. (NYSE: DM) today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

“Desktop Metal is off to a solid start to 2023 following very strong growth last year,” said Ric Fulop, Founder and CEO of Desktop Metal. “Customer demand trends for our unique portfolio of AM 2.0 mass production solutions remain resilient, despite an unsteady macro environment, giving us confidence in our growth projections for this year. Additionally, we’ve made significant progress on our cost reduction efforts initiated last year and expanded in February 2023.
