PRNT is an actively managed ETF providing exposure to the global additive manufacturing ecosystem, including hardware manufacturers (Stratasys, 3D Systems, Desktop Metal), materials suppliers (Arkema, BASF), software providers (Autodesk, Dassault Systèmes), and industrial end-users (Protolabs, Materialise). The fund captures the entire value chain from polymer/metal powder production through design software to contract manufacturing services. Performance is driven by industrial adoption rates in aerospace, automotive, and medical device sectors where 3D printing enables mass customization and supply chain localization.
