Why it matters

3D Systems is a leading provider of additive manufacturing solutions, and its quarterly results provide insights into the overall health of the 3D printing industry. The company's focus on priority markets like aerospace, defense, personalized healthcare, and dental suggests it is positioning itself for growth in key verticals.

In personalized health services, the segment delivered double-digit growth again in 2025 and became the company's largest healthcare segment. In dental, the company began U.S. shipments of the NextDent Jetted Denture Solution in the fourth quarter and described early market reception as strong.
