3D Systems Corporation

3D Systems Corporation sells 3D printing and digital manufacturing solutions built around printers for plastics and metals, proprietary materials, software, and services. The company organizes its business around two vertical-focused segments—Healthcare Solutions (e.g., dental and medical devices) and Industrial Solutions (e.g., aerospace, defense, transportation and general manufacturing). It supports customers with an end-to-end workflow that spans design, application engineering, production validation, and ongoing maintenance. In 2025 the company simplified its software portfolio through divestitures, including the sale of Geomagic and the sale of 3DXpert and Oqton, sharpening focus on its core printing/materials/services ecosystem.

01
Accelerate additive manufacturing adoption in productionmedium-term

Production use cases expand system pull-through and recurring materials/services demand.

02
Use services and innovation centers to validate and commercialize applicationsshort-term

Validation reduces adoption friction and creates a pathway to equipment and materials sales.

03
Portfolio simplification and focus on core solutionsshort-term

Divestitures reduce complexity and concentrate resources on printers, materials, and services.
