3D Systems disclosed 40,000 dollars in Q4 2025 lobbying to secure its role in the FY26 Defense Appropriations Act. This targets a 3.3 billion dollar defense AM budget request, an 83 percent increase over FY25. New NDAA restrictions on foreign systems are positioning 3D Systems as a mandated pillar for domestic procurement. Recent 5.2 million share additions by Capital World Investors signal institutional confidence in this shift toward long-term federal infrastructure. 🛡️🏭 #AdditiveManufacturing #DefenseTech #3DSystems
