3D Systems has struggled in the smaller market, because their 3D printing software is not user-friendly. As the largest 3D printing company, 3D Systems has a large presence in the corporate world, but has shifted their focus to cater towards small business owners and hobbyists. In addition to 3D Systems’ professional and production grade 3D printers, they have developed a line of personal 3D printers for everyday users.
3D Systems manufactures six different technology types for their different 3D printers; each system varies in the materials it uses and its printing capabilities. 3D Systems’ printers offer the following 3D printing technologies: stereolithography (SLA), selective laser sintering (SLS), color-jet printing (CJP), fused deposition modeling (FDM), multi-jet printing (MJP) and direct metal sintering (DMS).
As a ‘closed-source’ company, 3D Systems relies strictly on in-house innovation for product development and improvement. With over 1,000 employees in 25 locations worldwide, 3D Systems also holds over 350 U.S. and foreign patents and has applied for even more to stay ahead of their competition.
Products, printers and services provided by 3D Systems have been seen in the following industries:
- Aerospace
- Architecture
- Automotive
- Defense
- Dentistry
- Education
- Entertainment
- Healthcare
- Manufacturing
- And more!
