SLM Solutions
Im hoping some of you are watching SLM Solutions and care to weigh in on it. What do you make of the collapse of SLM Solutions stock price?
I bought into the stock at around 29EUR after the deal with GE was dropped. Today its trading at below 7EUR... Im still holding, and I consider adding now to lower my average price, but I have no clue whats going on. I see that sales and revenue is disappointing and below expectations, but does this mean that they have no future, or simply that they are going through a rough time?
Is it a matter of making bad moves e.g. focusing on speed, build size, surface finish, range of materials, etc. - and getting outmaneuvered by competitors who make better moves?
Or is it a matter of betting on a doomed technology?
It seems that SLM solutions are betting on print speed, working on a new printer with 12 lasers. Is that the right direction for them, given their customers?
Example: I guess print speed is unimportant for e.g. dental, while its likely absolutely critical to e.g. automotive due to component size and quantity?
It also seems that they are betting hard on the asian market - is that wise?
Let me know what you think.

3D Printing Stocks Get Lift From GE Acquisitions
By Paul Ausick September 6, 2016 7:45 am EDT
General Electric Co. (NYSE: GE) announced Tuesday morning that it plans to acquire two European 3D printing companies for a total price of $1.4 billion. Both companies will be put under the umbrella of GE’s aviation division.
Sweden-based Arcam serves customers in both the aerospace and health care industries with its metal-based additive manufacturing (the technical name for some 3D printing applications) products. Germany-based SLM Solutions supplies laser machines for metal-based additive manufacturing in the aerospace sector.
Shares of 3D Systems Corp. (NYSE: DDD) traded up about 5% in Tuesday’s premarket, as did shares of Stratasys Ltd. (NASDAQ: SSYS). At Friday’s closing prices, both traded down about 80% from their peak share prices of December 2013. Also as of Friday, 3D Systems’s market cap was $1.67 billion and Stratasys’s was $1.15 billion.
Shareholders in both companies must be hoping for a dose of acquisition fever now that GE has pulled the trigger on an acquisition in the 3D printing space. While the size of the deal is relatively modest, it validates the application of 3D printing technology in one of the largest industrial sectors of the market. Another major player in 3D printing is HP Inc. (NYSE: HPQ). Both 3D Systems and Stratasys offer printing services that includes metals as well as polymers and some ceramics; HP’s 3D printing capabilities remain polymer-based.
From an investor’s point of view, GE’s acquisition also signals that 3D printing, at least for giant industrial firms, may best be incorporated by owning the technology rather than buying the equipment and services. That’s better news for 3D Systems and Stratasys than it is for HP.
GE talked up its introduction of additive manufacturing in the announcement:
In July, GE Aviation introduced into airline service its first additive jet engine component – complex fuel nozzle interiors – with the LEAP jet engine. The LEAP engine is the new, best-selling engine from CFM International, a 50/50 joint company of GE and Safran Aircraft Engines of France. More than 11,000 LEAP engines are on order with up to 20 fuel nozzles in every engine, thus setting the stage for sustainably high and long-term additive production at GE Aviation’s Auburn, Alabama, manufacturing plant. Production will ramp up to more than 40,000 fuel nozzles using additive by 2020.
The CFM LEAP engine is available in three variations, one for Boeing Co.’s (NYSE: BA) 737 MAX, another for the Airbus A320neo family and a third for Chinese aircraft maker Comac’s C919.
GE’s share price was up about 0.3% in Tuesday’s premarket, at $31.37 in a 52-week range of $24.26 to $33.00. The consensus 12-month price target is $33.71.

http://3dprintingindustry.com/news/groupe-gorge-announce-51-increase-3d-printing-sales-90118/
Groupe Gorgé announce 51% increase in 3D printing sales
Groupe Gorgé today published financial results for the second quarter of 2016. The stock market viewed the news in a positive light and the announcement drove the companies share price higher with an increase of almost 5%. The unaudited financial statements show that 3D printing revenue is the fastest growing division at the company.
Shaping Up to be Global Competitor
The French company was founded in 1990 and now employs over 1,600 people in operations that span more than 10 countries. Groupe Gorgé derives the majority of revenue from automated smart safety systems and the provision of robotics for use in hazardous environments. They also perform industrial maintenance and install systems for use in nuclear safety, mainly to protect those working with nuclear materials.
Groupe Gorgé’s 3D printing division is focused on, “Enabling major industry players to find new routes to successful innovation and production processes by providing systems, 3D printers and new premium material.” Groupe Gorgé entered the 3D printing market in 2013 with the acquisition of Prodways.
Prodways make 3D printers using their MOVINGlight technology; this uses a mobile Digital Light Projector (DLP) that projects the image and cures as the head moves. This means the printer can create detailed parts at much larger build volumes. The technology is used on their Promaker L Series of industrial 3D printers, while the V Series 3D printers print in ceramics and metals.
When Prodways first demonstrated their printers at Euromold back in 2013, 3DPI suggested the company were one, “to keep an eye on”. The Prodways’ Entrepreneurs program was launched in June 2014 to develop the market and in the same year the company released 9 different printers and 14 materials at Euromold.
3D Printing Revenue Fastest Growing
Today’s announcement illustrates that their 3D printing strategy is paying off. Groupe Gorgé’s revenue from 3D printing was €12.1m ($13.3m) for the 6 months ending 30 June, 2016. The company booked 3D printing related sales driving a 51.3% increase in the period. 3D printing revenue currently contributes less than 10% to the total €141.7m ($155.6m) reported total. However, of the 4 revenue streams growth in the 3D printing category has outpaced other divisions. The Protection in Nuclear Environments division reported the second highest percentage growth rate as 26%, almost half that of 3D printing.
Groupe Gorgé have reported sustained growth over the past 13 quarters and say the revenue from 3D printing is “satisfactory”. According to the company, they anticipate further growth in this area during the second half of the year. 2016 is a, “major phase in the development” of this line of business and work is in progress to consolidate the acquisitions made in 2015 and to build upon partnerships with industry. These partnerships include a deal with the 3rd largest manufacturer of selective laser sintering 3D printers, Farsoon.

Strategic Acquisitions
One of the acquisitions referenced is the purchase of a dental laboratory in France. Initial customers for Prodways were in the dental industry and further vertical integration into supply chain here will allow Groupe Gorgé to capture additional value. This is a strategy seen at other 3D printer manufacturers such as Arcam who own a medical implant contract manufacturer. In Arcam’s case the approach has been successful and allowed customers to dip their feet in the water by testing the viability and economic impact of sourcing 3D printed components before taking the plunge with an investment in a 3D printer of their own. Prodways also acquired a Norge, a startup involved in SLS for plastic powder. Again, this is a common strategy to deepen the value chain and was evident in Arcam’s acquisition of AP&C, a manufacturer of specialist metal powders.
Prodways recently announced their first sales in the important 3D printing market of Korea. The company sold a ProMaker L7000 and a ProMaker L5000, “to one of the most trusted public research and R&D institutes in Korea”. The company has also signed a partnership agreement with Japanese company Altech Co who specialize in the import and sale of machines. Hidehiko Suyama, Managing Director of Altech, said, “This market has experienced massive growth in just a few years, and the product range has expanded through this growth. We are convinced that Prodways has all the necessary resources to meet the professional and industrial demand via products and a sales strategy in perfect keeping with our current equipment offer. We believe in our partnership with Prodways in the long term.”
Expanding International Markets
The Japanese market for industrial grade 3D printers is set to heat up with local company Ricoh announcing a possible addition to their existing line of 3D printers during the Tokyo Big Site last month. Ricoh showcased a, “prototype and not ready for launching in the market” at the show but as of yet, “commercialization and its timing are to be determined” according to Yukari Ezoe at the company. By revenue Ricoh is a much larger company than Group Gorgé, the most recent full year financial results reported $909m compared to $290m for the French company. Ricoh entered the 3D printing market in 2014 with technology developed in association with Aspect Inc. However, 3D printing sales at Ricoh have been sluggish, whereas Groupe Gorgé’s acquisition of Prodways in 2013 gave the French company a head start of one year and access to a range of 3D printers already under development.
With revenue spread across 4 divisions the company has not seen the dip in share price experienced by 3D printing companies with a singular focus. Anticipation is for the 3D printing business to continue to grow and when the company publish their next full year financial report they are confident that, “The annual revenue target will likely be exceeded,” according to today’s release.

"On May 10, FDA issued the long-awaited draft guidance, “Technical Considerations for Additive Manufactured Devices.” In October 2014, FDA held a public workshop on AM devices, “Additive Manufacturing of Medical Devices: An Interactive Discussion on the Technical Considerations of 3D Printing.” Since then, this draft guidance topic appeared on FDA’s priority guidance list in 2015, but was removed without explanation in 2016, leaving some to wonder about its status. The draft guidance states that it intends to “outline considerations associated with [additive manufacturing (AM)] processes” and provide “recommendations for testing and characterization for devices that include at least one AM fabrication step.” AM is “a process that builds an object by iteratively building 2-dimensional (2D) layers and joining each to the layer below, allowing device manufacturers to rapidly alter designs without the need for retooling and to create complex devices built as a single piece.” AM is a category of manufacturing which encompasses “3D printing.”"[much more]
yes, it will be an exciting IPO!

Glad to hear that!
Wasn't sure anyone gave a darn anymore, lol.
But despite the very weak results from public leaders DDD and SSYS...mostly due to overpaying for non-organic growth... it seems practically everything I read and hear regarding the industry's growth is very positive. Anyone who has seen the results in the past few quarters from Arcam knows that the growth is definitely there in aerospace, health care/surgical and auto markets.
And incidentally, I'm not doing any pr/IR work for any 3D printing related companies now...so hopefully people will see me as being less biased.
Although anyone who is long or short a stock is biased at the outset when you think about it.
