Our Company
We are a leading provider of additive manufacturing software and of sophisticated 3D printing services. Our customers are active in a wide variety of industries, including healthcare, automotive, aerospace, art and design and consumer products. Since our founding in 1990 by our Chief Executive Officer, Wilfried Vancraen, we have consistently focused on developing innovative applications of additive manufacturing technologies. We believe our proprietary software platforms, which enable and enhance the functionality of 3D printers and of 3D printing operations, have become a market standard for professional 3D printing, with a current installed base of more than 8,000 licenses. We believe that our commitment to enabling 3D printing technologies has significantly supported and accelerated the acceptance and proliferation of additive manufacturing and will continue to play an instrumental role as the industry evolves. In the healthcare sector, our technology was directly responsible for the design and manufacture of over 146,000 customized, patient-specific medical devices during 2013. In our 3D printing service centers, including what we believe to be the world’s largest single-site additive manufacturing service center in Leuven, Belgium, we printed more than 500,000 medical devices, prototypes, production parts, and consumer products during 2013. As of December 31, 2013, our team consisted of 958 full time equivalent employees, or FTEs, and fully dedicated consultants, holding 410 masters degrees, of whom 48 had PhDs. Our portfolio of intellectual property features 64 patents and 95 pending patent applications as of December 31, 2013. For the year ended December 31, 2013, we generated €68.7 million of revenue, representing 16.3% growth over the prior year, EBITDA of €7.6 million and net profit of €3.4 million.
