3D Systems Roars into 2026 with Record Q4 Earnings
The company has kicked off the new year on a high note, reporting a stronger finish to 2025 than expected. Despite global economic and geopolitical challenges that have put a damper on capital expenditure spending by customers, 3D Systems has managed to balance cost reduction with continuity in key research and development programs essential for long-term growth.
According to CEO Dr. Jeffrey Graves, the company's employees have been able to execute this delicate balance day-to-day over the last two years, and their hard work is now paying off. The results of these efforts are evident in the company's installed base of printers, which is the largest and most diverse in the world. This has enabled 3D Systems to refresh its printer lineup and launch exciting new products and applications that provide extraordinary value to customers.
The company's cost-saving initiatives have been crucial in navigating this challenging period. By reducing overall operating costs while selectively investing in industries where additive manufacturing is poised to reshape the market, 3D Systems has emerged stronger than ever. As Dr. Graves noted, "I'm extremely proud of our employees and their ability to execute this balance day-to-day over the last two years."
One key growth area for the company has been its industrial solutions business. Within this segment, 3D Systems saw sequential double-digit growth in several end markets, including automotive and jewelry manufacturing. This growth was driven by the impact of the company's newest SLA printing platform, specifically the dual laser SLA 750 launched just over a year ago.
This new printer has been a game-changer for the company, offering unparalleled precision and productivity on an industrial scale. As Dr. Graves highlighted, "The most precise and productive industrial-scale SLA printer in the market today" is not just a claim – it's a testament to 3D Systems' commitment to innovation.
On the financial front, 3D Systems reported revenue growth of 16% sequentially above its guidance of 8-10% growth. This strong performance reflects the strengthening of both printer and material sales driven by key new product launches over the last year in the industrial and healthcare businesses.
