Velo3D, Inc., a California-based developer of metal additive manufacturing systems for aerospace and industrial applications, agreed in early 2021 to merge with JAWS Acquisition Corp, a blank-check company that completed its IPO in 2020 and is sponsored by JAWS Sponsor, LLC. The company filed an 8-K on March 23, 2021, disclosing the definitive business combination agreement that would bring Velo3D to the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker VLD, targeting the industrial technology and advanced manufacturing sector. The transaction closed later in 2021, marking Velo3D as one of several additive manufacturing firms to access public markets via the SPAC route during that cycle.
