Shop the collections for things to print at home or have printed for you in high-end materials like precious metals, edibles from chocolate to sugar, and a range of full-color materials and higher quality plastics; discover the designer in you; join the community and share your print inspirations in the Design Feed; organize and display prints on your Shelf; and design your future, powered by 3D printing. 3D Systems’ consumer technology platform that powers Cubify allows for the safe hosting, publishing and production of branded and licensed content. 3D Systems also manufactures the Cube family of consumer 3D printers, the Sense 3D scanner and a suite of consumer design software, all available on the Cubify hub.
 

Once you sign in to your Cubify account, simply follow the steps to add designs to your Shelf. You'll be able to add additional pictures of your design (including a photo of it 3D printed, if you have one!), give it a title and tags, and more.
 

Once you have a Cubify account, simply add your design to your Shelf and it is shareable based on your preference for public sharing or private viewing. When you share you have the choice to share a viewable image only or to share a downloadable file with the Cubify community.
 

There are lots of materials that can be 3D printed today, but unfortunately we can’t print all of them on a home 3D printer. To give you access to awesome materials that require professional 3D printers we offer Cubify Cloud Printing services. You can get designs on your Shelf printed in a variety of plastics from strong and durable to clear and frosted plastics and metallic mixed plastics, along with attractive full-pantone range Colorstone and beautiful ceramics. We’ll print the items for you and ship within two weeks.
 

Designs or models are 3Dprintable when they can be sent directly to a 3D printer. A 3D printer needs files in the industry standard file format STL, or WRL for full color prints. Most 3D design software can export to STL. 3D printable designs must be watertight, meaning that the design has only closed solids, and no open surfaces. All planes must have an internal and external thickenss. When you use one of our Cube 3D printers the software it comes with will automatically Heal your file for these qualities, and Cubify Cloud Printing will verify your designs as well and let you know if something is not ready for printing.
 

As long as your design is on your Shelf, it can be 3D printed. Design viewability may be set to private or public, depending on your share preferences.
 

For 3D printing in color, the most common file types are .WRL or .3DS. They contain all the information required for printing in our Colorstone material.

3D Systems Reports Third Quarter and Nine Months 2014 Financial Results

•Strengthening demand drove a 57% increase in design and manufacturing unit sales

•Expanding products and services fueled a 121% gain in healthcare revenue

•Materials gross profit margin was restored to 73.1% on improved mix and higher revenue

•Growing order book increased $14 million sequentially to $46 million


Release Date: Monday, November 10, 2014 - 08:00.

ROCK HILL, South Carolina, November 10, 2014 –

3D Systems (NYSE:DDD) announced today that its third quarter revenue grew $31.2 million, or 23%, from the prior year to $166.9 million on strong demand for its design, manufacturing and healthcare products and services, resulting in third quarter GAAP earnings of $0.03 per share and non-GAAP earnings of $0.18 per share.

For the nine months ending September 30, 2014, revenue grew $107.6 million, or 30%, to $466.2 million, resulting in GAAP earnings per share of $0.09 per share and non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.48 per share.

The company’s order book increased by $14 million, or 44% sequentially, to $46 million and included a $4 million increase in printer orders in hand compared to the second quarter order book, further reflecting the robust demand for 3DS' products and services.

Strengthening demand for the company's leading design and manufacturing products was not enough to overcome the revenue shortfall that resulted from the company's continued manufacturing constraints for direct metal printers and the delayed availability of its newest consumer products. This restricted the company’s organic growth rate to 12% for the quarter.

"We are pleased that strengthening demand led to a 57% organic increase in unit sales of our design and manufacturing printers, but are disappointed that we failed to fully capitalize on the robust demand for our direct metal and consumer products," said Avi Reichental, 3DS' President and Chief Executive Officer. "Despite our efforts, we were not able to deliver these direct metal and consumer products as soon as we anticipated. Now that these availability gaps have been resolved, we expect our revenue growth rate to increase."

Third Quarter 2014 Revenue Highlights (compared to third quarter 2013):

•Healthcare revenue increased 121% to $37.4 million driven by added services and capabilities.
•Expanding expertise and footprint contributed to a 29% increase in services revenue.
•Design and manufacturing revenue increased 27% to $155.2 million on a 57% increase in units sold.
•Growing installed base and increased printer utilization fueled materials revenue growth of 18%.
•Delayed new products availability held consumer revenue to $11.8 million, but didn't impede higher bookings, which increased consumer backlog to $8.3 million.
Sequentially, materials gross profit margin rebounded to 73.1% and Quickparts gross profit margin expanded to 44.7%, despite greater drag from concentrated service bureau acquisitions during the quarter. Notwithstanding these gains, consolidated gross profit margin remained sequentially flat at 47.8% on the current sales volume and mix and the residual costs of manufacturing ramp up.

"While growing pains led to our revenue shortfall and pressured our gross profit margin, the fundamentals of our business are intact and our gross profit margins are poised to resume their expansion," continued Reichental.

The company effectively kept its non-GAAP operating expenses flat on a sequential basis, notwithstanding ongoing investments in R&D, sales, marketing and manufacturing capacity. The company generated $8.6 million of cash from operations during the third quarter and ended the quarter with $377.3 million cash on hand.

Recent Business Highlights:

•The company completed several acquisitions that add powerful synergistic technologies, domain expertise and complementary sales channels:
◦The company expanded its Quickparts capabilities during the third quarter through the acquisitions of American Precision Prototyping, American Precision Machining and Laser Reproductions. These service bureaus added to the company's expertise in aerospace and industrial applications and deepened 3DS geographic footprint in the U.S.
◦The company acquired LayerWise, advancing its leadership in direct metal 3D printing technology and the manufacturing of medical, dental and aerospace precision metal parts at convincing scale.
◦The company acquired Simbionix, the global leader in 3D virtual reality surgical simulation, extending its digital thread in healthcare from the training room to the operating room.
•The company entered into a $150 million five-year, unsecured revolving credit facility with its lenders with an option to increase the aggregate principal amount available under the Credit Facility by an additional $75 million.
•The company named Ted Hull, previously CFO of Fusion-io and VP Finance at Cisco, as its incoming Chief Financial Officer, effective November 11, 2014, succeeding Damon Gregoire, who will transition to the role of Executive Vice President, Mergers and Acquisitions. Ted’s career spans more than three decades of progressing financial leadership roles in fast-moving technology companies and high-profile sector leaders.
•The company appointed Mark Wright, previously a senior executive at EMC Corporation, as its Chief Operating Officer. In this new role, Mark will work closely with the company’s senior leadership to scale its commercial and manufacturing operations and leverage its recent investments into sustainable, profitable growth.
•The company elevated Kevin McAlea to the role of Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Healthcare. Kevin brings more than 20 years of 3D printing experience into this role and most recently oversaw the successful development of 3DS' direct metal printing business after it acquired Phenix Systems. Kevin will now be responsible for driving and executing 3DS' healthcare growth strategy.
•The company promoted Jeff Blank to the role of Vice President, Global Engineering and Chief Development Officer. Jeff recently joined 3D Systems through the acquisition of the Xerox Wilsonville engineering team that he led as Vice President Engineering. Jeff brings to 3DS decades of relevant engineering leadership expertise and, in this new role, he is leading 3DS global engineering team of 400 strong in 12 R&D locations.
•The company hired Peter Theran, previously a senior executive at Bose, to lead its consumer retail operations. In his role of Vice President, Consumer Retail, Peter's charter is to broaden the reach and penetration of the company’s latest consumer products, services and experiences, including the Cube 3 and CubePro printers and its expanding portfolio of perceptual devices and online Cubify experiences.
Reiterated Guidance for 2014
Factoring in its third quarter revenue shortfall and outlook for the remainder of the year, management reiterates its previously adjusted guidance for the full year 2014. Management expects revenue in the range of $650 million to $690 million, and GAAP earnings per share of $0.18 to $0.28 and non-GAAP earnings per share in the range of $0.70 to $0.80.

"The same accelerated investments in new technologies and acquisitions that pressured our short term performance also delivered the most comprehensive portfolio of self-developed and acquired 3D products and services available today. We believe we are now on a stronger footing as we shift toward fine-tuning these investments and leveraging them to achieve our long-term targets," concluded Reichental.

Q3 2014 Conference Call and Webcast
3D Systems plans to hold a conference call and simultaneous webcast to discuss its financial results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2014 on Monday, November 10, 2014, at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time, and expects to file its Form 10-Q before market open on the same day.

Führendes Ökosystem bei Additive Manufacturing, Kursziel reduziert! - Aktienanalyse

12.11.14 15:11
Imperial Capital

Los Angeles (www.aktiencheck.de) - 3D Systems-Aktienanalyse von Analyst Ashok Kumar von Imperial Capital:

Ashok Kumar, Aktienanalyst vom Investmenthaus ImperiaCapital, erwartet bei der Aktie von 3D Systems Corporation (ISIN: US88554D2053, WKN: 888346, Ticker-Symbol: SYV, NYSE-Symbol: DDD) eine überdurchschnittliche Kursentwicklung.

3D Systems Corp. habe im dritten Quartal eine organische Wachstumsrate im Vergleich zum Vorjahr von 12% verzeichnet.

Verzögerungen bei der Markteinführung von neuen Verbraucherprodukten als auch niedrigere Zuwächse in den Bereichen Materials, Services und Software hätten die Umsatzentwicklung nachteilig beeinflusst. Die Mehrheit des organischen Wachstums sei durch das Metall-Geschäft beigesteuert worden, was das Ergebnis der Phenix Systems-Übernahme gewesen sei.

Die Bruttomargen im Drucker-Geschäft seien gegenüber dem Vorjahr um 10 Punkte gefallen, vermutlich als Folge des gestiegenen Wettbewerbs und der Probleme bei der Umsetzung der Planungen in die Praxis.


Nach Ansicht der Analysten von Imperial Capital hat 3D Systems Corp. ein branchenweit führendes Ökosystem von Additive Manufacturing Hardware, Materials, Software und Services aufgebaut. Niedrigere organische Wachstumsraten und sinkende Margen würden jedoch kurzfristig für Gegenwind sorgen.

Die Ankündigung neuer Produkte anlässlich der EuroMold und CES würden das Spektrum von Herausforderungen bei der Geschäftsdurchführung in 2015 erweitern, so Analyst Ashok Kumar.


In ihrer 3D Systems-Aktienanalyse stufen die Analysten von Imperail Capital den Titel weiterhin mit "outperform" ein und senken das Kursziel von 50,00 auf 42,00 USD.

Pläne für Umsatz und Margen in 2015 sind bewegliche Ziele! - Aktienanalyse

Brean Capital, LLC

New York (www.aktiencheck.de) - 3D Systems-Aktienanalyse von Analyst Ananda Baruah von Brean Capital:

In einer aktuellen Aktienanalyse empfiehlt Analyst Ananda Baruah vom Investmenthaus Brean Capital die Aktien von 3D Systems Corporation (ISIN: US88554D2053, WKN: 888346, Ticker-Symbol: SYV, NYSE-Symbol: DDD) nach wie vor zu halten.

Die Umsätze und operativen Margen in 2015 werden von den Analysten von Brean Capital angesichts des jüngsten Schluckaufs im Metall-Geschäft von 3D Systems Corp. weiterhin als bewegliche Ziele angesehen. Die Annahmen zum organischen Wachstum seien im Fluss.

Im September-Quartal seien die operativen Ausgaben derweil unter Kontrolle gewesen. Das Management habe geäußert, dass der Umfang der operativen Ausgaben gemessen in Prozent vom Umsatz leicht sinken könnte.

Analyst Ananda Baruah würde ein solches Szenario als Signal verstehen, dass 3D Systems beginnen könnte in Zukunft auf der EPS-Ebene die Erwartungen zu erfüllen oder zu übertreffen. Kurzfristig könnte sich der Aktienkurs im Bereich von 30 bis 40 USD bewegen.

In ihrer 3D Systems-Aktienanalyse stufen die Analysten von Brean Capital den Titel weiterhin mit "hold" ein.

Oppenheimer

New York (www.aktiencheck.de) - 3D Systems-Aktienanalyse von Analyst Holden Lewis von Oppenheimer:

Aktienanalyst Holden Lewis vom Investmenthaus Oppenheimer rechnet bei den Aktien von 3D Systems Corporation (ISIN: US88554D2053, WKN: 888346, Ticker-Symbol: SYV, NYSE-Symbol: DDD) laut seiner aktuellen Aktienanalyse weiterhin mit einer überdurchschnittlichen Kursentwicklung.

Die Q3-Quartalszahlen hätten keine neue negative Überraschung gebracht. Die schwache organische Wachstumsrate bei 3D Systems Corp. dürfte einen Boden gefunden haben, so die Einschätzung der Analysten von Oppenheimer.

Vor allem die Verzögerungen bei Auslieferungen im Konsumenten-Bereich hätten für die Verlangsamung des Wachstums gesorgt. Analyst Holden Lewis geht davon aus, dass sich das organische Wachstum auch auf Grund der starken Auftragslage von dem Tief des dritten Quartals erholen werde.

Die Aktienanalysten von Oppenheimer stufen in ihrer 3D Systems-Aktienanalyse den Titel weiterhin mit "outperform" ein und halten am Kursziel von 57,00 USD fest.

Ich bleibe bei meier Einschätzung in 3-10 Jahren wird mein Heimdrucker (Tintenstrahl) mit Scanner und Kopierfunktion einen 3D Drucker vielleicht auch mit 3D Scann und Kopierfunktion an seiner Seite habe. Ob das Gerät dann von 3D Systhems ist, man wird sehen.  

aber in 10 Jahren gibt es 3D Systems so nicht mehr!
Heißen vielleicht anders, wurden verkauft... umbenannt usw...
Wir werden sehen... was die Zukunft bringt!  

Sicher hat der Bereich Zukunft, natürlich wird es das auch für den irgendwann auch für den Heimbereich geben. (gibt es ja schon wer es haben möchte)

Noch wesentlich anderes als heute bekannt, wer schlecht gegen eine Innovation redet, macht etwas falsch, das muß man auch klar sagen.

Nur was bei der Aktie passiert, ist keine Innovation, sondern eine nicht richtige Manipulation und deswegen tut sich die Aktie sehr schwer in letzter Zeit.

Die Frage ist einmal ist das gerechtfertigt.

Die andere inzwischen interessantere Frage ist, wäre es nicht doch besser nachdem der Wert bereits jeden Anleger vergrault hat, nicht doch eine längere und weitere Korrektur zu machen, bevor das Drama hier in ein paar Monaten wieder startet.

Ich habe den Wert etwas länger als 6-10 Monate verfolgt und muß sagen was im Moment passiert, würde ich als Aktienmanipulation bezeichen.

Das kann und ist nicht normal, es ist etwas schade für die Firma, nur inzwischen hilft es auch keinem Anleger mehr das zu hören.

Jetzt sinken auch erst mal die Kursziele der Analysten und die Aktie hat weiter an Wert verloren.

Ich muß sagen, dieses anlocken von Käufer an einem Tag, mit anschließender Vernichtung am nächsten Tag, kann man im moment niemanden empfehlen, wer weiß schon wann es wieder über -5% abzieht.

Ich weiß nicht, vielleicht am Rande beobachten und woanders anlegen.

 

3D-Printing

3D Systems kann volle Auftragsbücher (noch) nicht nutzen

Mittwoch, 12. November 2014 13:56

(IT-Times) - Die Aktien des 3D-Druckerherstellers 3D Systems blieben zuletzt unter Druck, obwohl das Unternehmen die bereits reduzierten Gewinnerwartungen des Marktes leicht übertreffen und seinen Jahresausblick bekräftigt hat.

Dennoch überwiegen bei Investoren die Ängste, dass 3D Systems im Consumer-Markt gegen Stratasys und dessen MakerBot-Einheit langfristig nicht mithalten kann. Auch der bevorstehende Eintritt von HP in den 3D-Drucker-Markt für Firmenkunden schreckt viele Anleger. Im Conference Call mit Analysten deutete das Management von 3D Systems (NYSE: DDD, WKN: 888346) an, dass vorerst mit keiner Wachstumsbeschleunigung bei den 3D-Drucker-Umsätzen zu erwarten ist.

Organisches Wachstum enttäuscht, Gewinnmargen sinken
Die Entscheidung von 3D Systems, neue 3D-Drucker für Konsumenten erst im nächsten Quartal auszuliefern, hatte im jüngsten Quartal dazu geführt, dass sich das organische Wachstum auf 12 Prozent abflachte.

Auch sinkende Gewinnmargen sorgten bei Investoren zuletzt für Unmut. Diese Entwicklung führt 3D Systems CEO Avi Reichental vor allem auf Produktionsprobleme und Verzögerungen zurück. Die Bruttomargen waren von 52,6 Prozent im Vorjahr auf 47,8 Prozent im jüngsten Quartal gesunken. Die Nettogewinnmarge brach von 19,3 auf 11,8 Prozent ein.

Volle Auftragsbücher, doch Produktionsausbau hinkt hinterher
Insgesamt entsteht der Eindruck, dass 3D Systems derzeit wirklich eher Probleme hat, die hohe Nachfrage zu erfüllen. Der Bestand in den Auftragsbüchern war zuletzt um 14 Mio. Dollar oder um weitere 44 Prozent auf 46 Mio. Dollar gewachsen.

Positiv überrascht auch das Wachstum in der Gesundheitssparte. Hier kletterte das Geschäft um 121 Prozent gegenüber dem Vorjahr auf 37,4 Mio. Dollar, nachdem sich 3D Systems zuletzt durch eine Reihe von Zukäufen in diesem Segment verstärkt hat.

Im Jahresverlauft wurden nicht nur Medical Modeling übernommen, im jüngsten Quartal schluckte 3D Systems auch den 3D-Spezialisten LayerWise. Das Unternehmen gilt als Spezialist für zahnmedizinische 3D-Metall-Ausdrucke und Implantate. Ebenfalls im jüngsten Quartal wurde Simbionix aufgekauft, ein führender Virtual Reality Spezialist im Bereich Operationssimulationen.

Allerdings hat es 3D Systems bislang nicht geschafft, schnell genug neue Produktionskapazitäten im Bereich 3D-Metall-Drucker aufzubauen, um der steigenden Nachfrage Rechnung zu tragen. Diese Probleme gilt es zunächst zu lösen, bevor Anleger wieder mit steigenden Kursen bei 3D Systems rechnen können.

Kurzportrait

Die in Rock Hill/USA ansässige 3D Systems Corp wurde ursprünglich im Jahre 1993 gegründet. Das Unternehmen bietet sowohl komplette 3D-Druckersysteme, als auch 3D-Druckermaterialien für Konsumenten und Profi-Nutzer an. Der Produktverkauf wird durch das Servicegeschäft ergänzt.

Das Produktportfolio von 3D Systems besteht aus verschiedenen 3D-Druckersystemen (Sterolithographie-Drucker, Selective Laser Sintering, Multi-Jet-Modeling Druckersysteme usw.). Die von 3D Systems vertriebenen Drucker nutzen 3D- und CAD-Softwareprogramme, um entsprechende Plastik- oder Metallteile herzustellen.

Die SLA-Druckerfamilie umfasst unter anderem die Drucker für Profis, aber auch für Privatkunden und Einzelverbraucher bietet das Unternehmen kleinere und erschwinglichere Produkte an. Druckermaterialien vertreibt 3D Systems unter den Marken Accura, RenShape, sowie DuraForm, CastForm und LaserForm.

Darüber hinaus ist 3D Systems am Project Ara beteiligt. Dabei handelt es sich um ein modulares Smartphone-Projekt von Google.

In den vergangenen Jahren verstärkte sich 3D Systems durch zahlreiche Zukäufe. In 2013 wurde mit Figulo Corporation ein Spezialist für 3D-Kamerikdrucke übernommen, gleichzeitig übernahm 3D Systems auch die französische Phenix Systems. Im Frühjahr 2014 übernahm 3D Systems den 3D-Gesundheitsspezialisten Medical Modeling. Zudem übernahm 3D Systems 70 Prozent der Anteile am brasilianischen 3D-Druckervermarkter Robtec. Mitte 2014 kaufte 3D Systems zudem den 3D Virtual Reality Spezialisten Simbionix, im September 2014 folgte die Übernahme von LayerWise.

Markt und Wettbewerb

Der Markt für 3D-Printing-Produkte soll in 2017 ein Marktvolumen von 6,0 Mrd. US-Dollar erreichen, so die Marktforscher bei Wohlers Associates. In 2021 soll der Markt dann auf ein Volumen von 10,8 Mrd. Dollar klettern.

In diesem Bereich konkurriert 3D Systems in erster Linie mit Anbietern wie Stratasys und ExOne, wobei die beiden Konkurrenten vor allem den industriellen Bereich des 3D-Printing-Marktes bearbeiten. Daneben hat auch der CAD-Spezialist Autodesk sein eigenes 3D-Druckersystem vorgestellt, womit sich Autodesk erstmals in den Hardware-Markt vorwagt.

Auch Hewlett-Packard (HP) erste Produkte für den 3D-Druckermarkt angekündigt, dadurch dürfte sich der Wettbewerb in der 3D-Druckerbranche nochmals intensivieren.

Zahlen

Für das vergangene dritte Quartal 2014 meldete 3D Systems einen Umsatzanstieg um 22 Prozent auf 166,9 Mio. US-Dollar. Dabei erwirtschaftete 3D Systems einen Gewinn von 3,1 Mio. US-Dollar oder drei US-Cent je Aktie, der bereinigte Nettogewinn (Non-GAAP) summierte sich auf 18 US-Cent je Aktie, womit 3D Systems die Markterwartungen der Analysten erfüllen konnte. An der Wall Street hatte man im Vorfeld mit einem Nettogewinn von 19 US-Cent je Aktie gerechnet.

Der Umsatz in der Sparte Healthcare kletterte um 121 Prozent auf 37,4 Mio. Dollar. Die Serviceerlöse zogen um 29 Prozent an, während das Design- und Herstellungsgeschäft um 27 Prozent auf 155,2 Mio. Dollar zulegte. Insgesamt konnte 3D Systems 57 Prozent mehr 3D-Drucker verkaufen als im Vorjahr.

Ausblick

Für das laufende Gesamtjahr 2014 erwartet 3D Systems einen Umsatz zwischen 650 bis 690 Mio. Dollar. Dabei rechnet der 3D-Druckerhersteller weiterhin mit einem Nettogewinn von 70 bis 80 US-Cent je Aktie.

Analysten erwarten bei 3D Systems für das laufende Dezemberquartal einen Umsatz von 203,5 Mio. Dollar sowie einen Nettogewinn von 25 US-Cent je Aktie. Im laufenden Gesamtjahr 2014 wird mit einem Jahresumsatz von 671,7 Mio. Dollar sowie mit einem Nettogewinn von 73 US-Cent je Aktie gerechnet.

Im nachfolgenden Jahr 2015 erwarten die Analysten dann einen Umsatzsprung auf 879,3 Mio. Dollar sowie einen Nettogewinn von 1,06 Dollar je Aktie.

Bewertung

3D Systems-Aktien präsentierten sich zuletzt deutlich leichter bei 34,6 US-Dollar, womit sich damit ein Börsenwert von rund 3,8 Mrd. US-Dollar für den führenden 3D-Druckerhersteller ergibt. Auf Basis aktueller Gewinnschätzungen für das anstehende Jahr 2015 ergibt sich ein Kurs-Gewinn-Verhältnis (KGV) von 33.

Bei Canaccord Genuity bleibt man weiter zuversichtlich. Die Analysten bekräftigten zuletzt nochmals ihre Kaufempfehlung für 3D Systems-Aktien, senken aber ihr Kursziel für 75 auf 50 Dollar.

Bei der Schweizer Großbank UBS überwiegt die Zurückhaltung, die Analysten raten Anlegern erst einmal zum Abwarten. Die UBS-Banker bleiben daher bei ihrer „neutralen“ Haltung gegenüber 3D Systems-Aktien, senken aber ihr Kursziel für das Papier von 50 auf 41 Dollar.

Bei RBC Capital bleibt man bei der Einschätzung „sector perform“ für 3D Systems-Aktien, wobei die Analysten ihr Kursziel für den Wert von 54 auf 45 US-Dollar senken.

 

Zürich (www.aktiencheck.de) - 3D Systems-Aktienanalyse von Analyst Julian Mitchell von der Credit Suisse:

Aktienanalyst Julian Mitchell von der Credit Suisse bekräftigt seine neutrale Sichtweise bezüglich der Aktien von 3D Systems Corporation (ISIN: US88554D2053, WKN: 888346, Ticker-Symbol: SYV, NYSE-Symbol: DDD).

Das Service-Wachstum sehe gedämpft aus, doch Quickparts sollte zu Verbesserungen führen. Quickparts habe im abgelaufenen Quartal ein organisches Wachstum von lediglich 10% verzeichnet. Allerdings sei der Auftragsbestand sequenziell um 60% gestiegen. Dies deutet nach Ansicht der Analysten der Credit Suisse auf eine zunehmende Nachfrage hin.

Das Wachstum im Bereich Services (Umsatzanteil von rund 10%) rufe etwas Sorgen hervor. Im Jahresvergleich habe das Plus nur bei 3% gelegen. Analyst Julian Mitchell ist jedoch der Ansicht, dass die installierte Basis strukturelle Service-Zuwächse nach sich ziehen werde. Auch wenn Reseller bei vielen Maschinen den Service übernehmen würden, dürfte 3D Systems dennoch profitable Umsätze mit Ersatzteilen generieren.

Die Aktienanalysten der Credit Suisse bestätigen in ihrer aktuellen 3D Systems-Aktienanalyse das Votum "neutral" und halten am Kursziel von 54,00 USD fest.
