3D Systems Benefits From Robust Portfolio
The latest move bodes well with DDD’s focus on delivering high-speed, cost-effective 3D printing solutions for diverse manufacturing applications.
DDD’s increasing demand for metal 3D printing services has also been a major growth driver. In March, the company announced that Wilting, an industrial machining and metal 3D printing service provider, expanded its manufacturing capabilities with three new DMP Flex 350 metal 3D printers, enhancing production capacity and material diversity to meet growing customer demands.
In January, DDD announced that WeAreAM in Italy added the DMP Flex 350 Dual to its Center of Excellence, enhancing its additive manufacturing capabilities across various industrial markets.
Expanding DDD’s footprint in the digital dentistry market has been noteworthy. The company recently announced its expansion in digital dentistry, highlighted by a quarter-billion-dollar contract for clear aligners and advancements in night guards, dentures, and other dental applications, poised to capitalize on a projected $14.6 billion global market by 2032.
Despite 3D System’s robust portfolio, macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties that are keeping customer budgets under pressure and affecting capital expenditures are a hurdle in the near term.
Increasing competition, particularly from new entrants in China in the hardware side of the business, has been a headwind.
