Intellectual Property Assets of Metal 3D Printing Pioneer 3DEO, Inc. Offered for Sale, With Bidding to Close August 12

TORRANCE, Calif: Insolvency Services Group, acting as the assignee for the benefit of creditors (the “Assignee”) of 3DEO, Inc., today announced it is soliciting offers for the purchase of substantially all of the intellectual property assets of 3DEO (the “Assets”), in connection with an assignment for the benefit of creditors under California law. The Assignee has received a stalking horse bid of $3,426,507 covering the entirety of the IP portfolio along with certain machinery and equipment, and has engaged Brian Testo Associates, LLC (the “Auctioneer”) to market the Assets and manage the sale process. Other prospective bidders are now invited to submit qualified overbids ahead of an August 12, 2026 deadline.

A Pioneer in Mass-Production Metal 3D Printing

3DEO was founded on the vision of becoming the premier metal 3D printing parts service, combining mass-production metal additive manufacturing capabilities with multidisciplinary design and product development expertise. The company developed the award-winning Intelligent Layering®, a patented metal additive manufacturing process that pairs binder jetting with layer-by-layer CNC milling to produce small, geometrically complex metal parts with tighter tolerances (±0.002″) and finer surface finish (100 Ra) than conventional binder jetting or laser powder bed fusion.

The Assets available for sale represent a complete IP portfolio, including patents, trademarks, proprietary process know-how, trade secrets, software and qualified materials data.  Beyond the core process know-how, the portfolio includes sintering profiles, shrinkage compensation models, and mechanical property data across four qualified alloys, together with proprietary slicing and cutting-path-generation software.

Sale Process and Bidding Details

Prospective bidders are invited to submit overbids for the Assets (each, a “Qualified Overbid”). To qualify, an overbid must: (a) be received by the Assignee at or before 12:00 p.m. PST on August 12, 2026; (b) be in form and substance substantially similar to the stalking horse offer; (c) propose a purchase price equal to or greater than the qualified overbid amount specified in the bid instructions; (d) be accompanied by an earnest money deposit of not less than 10% of the proposed price; and (e) be accompanied by evidence of the bidder’s ability to close.
