Thanks for sharing! Lots of things happening in the 3D printing world. So many avenues.

Gotcha, thanks for the insight

[AHayesC]

A lot of haters and lovers for the stock. My thoughts are they simply are too early for industry adoption. The industry is still in its infancy and developing out, trying to do things themselves. Plus, there are so many variables that effect a build and how builds integrate with industry 4.0.

Fact is, DDD and others simply need quality assurance. Some I believe are trying to build it themselves. SGLB has a huge amount of Important patents, so will be hard. Plus, if third party assurance ensures there's no conflict of interest. Say, if a plane went down and if you are Boeing, do you want to validate your own parts. Quite risky.

[Windbag1014]

Inability to sell their product. Whether that is a matter of the industry or the product is not obvious. Last twelve month Revenue as of 6/30/19 was $285,000. That is down from $1,235,000 from 12/31/15. Constant over promise under deliver by management. The concept is a great one. Near errorless parts produced autonomously with 3d printed lighter, stronger design with reduced human intervention and labor costs would make the industry soar. Many in the industry have been given the product for testing but no one seems to have the desire to incorporate it into their products, so far at least. They have been in many studies including DARPA and America Makes but nothing there either, so far. All my opinion. Spend some time on their ihub board and you will get lots of opinions.

[Digmush]

Sigma looks like it's struggling on Nasdaq? Is there a specific reason this is happening? I have not researched the company, just thought maybe you would have some insight on this!

[AHayesC]

This is what I know.

Additive manufacturing will never grow into large scale industrial manufacturing without closed loop in process quality assurance. The post destructive processing alone doesn't make it viable. OEM's like DDD need to invest there or purchase the system upgrade from somebody else, and offer it. The only company in that game is Sigma Labs, with IPQA.

Others are trying to develop, but SGLB has a lead. The closest is maybe GE, who are more than 5 years behind. But they are doing it via accoustics. Just doesn't compare to what SGLB has.

Anyway, I digress. Customers are not rushing in and buying up like the hype suggestd because it's still not fast enough as an end-to-end setup.

[AHayesC]

Yeah, Protolabs was the only success. Sold out of that though back in 2018.

[Digmush]

Another day with good volume and slow and steady increase, gotta like that

[fung_derf]

Yes. But I thought you denounced me as a know nothing?

I suck at reading charts, trying to learn and get better at it. I've lost my a$$ in the past and trying to learn from my mistakes! Good to have you here!

[Digmush]

I found this so that I could share it. I work for a Technical college and I run a HPS, Human Patient Simulator. Another reason I felt 3D was a good choice. They are big in healthcare. I'm an EMT Instructor and an HPS operator. I use this equipment so feel pretty good about the product! My hubby is a technical engineer, so he works with CAD systems and they are doing more 3D stuff. The company he works for has a stratasys 3D printer. I chose 3D because of the SP without doing a lot of research. I have since been trying to do as much as I can, which is why I came here to see what others knew.

Press Release: 3D Systems Reports Third Quarter 2019 Financial Results
Dow Jones News4:01 PM Eastern Daylight Time Oct 30, 2019

3D Systems Reports Third Quarter 2019 Financial Results

ROCK HILL, S.C., Oct. 30, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 3D Systems Corporation (NYSE:DDD) announced today its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2019.

For the third quarter of 2019, the company reported GAAP revenue of $155.3 million, compared to $164.5 million in the third quarter of the previous year. The company reported a GAAP loss of $0.15 per share in the third quarter of 2019 compared to a GAAP loss of $0.10 per share in the third quarter of 2018, and non-GAAP loss of $0.04 per share in the third quarter of 2019 compared to non-GAAP earnings of $0.02 per share in the third quarter of 2018.

Printer revenue decreased 17.2 percent compared to the third quarter of the prior year, driven by timing of large enterprise customer orders and the softer macro industrial environment. Materials revenue increased 2.8 percent, healthcare solutions revenue increased 6.3 percent including a large enterprise customer and 15.0 percent excluding this same customer. On demand services decreased 12.0 percent and software increased 0.1 percent compared to the prior year.

"Despite continued headwinds in the industry, we achieved modest growth in Materials and Healthcare this quarter, driven by customer demand for our core and new product solutions," commented Vyomesh Joshi ("VJ"), president and chief executive officer, 3D Systems. "We remain focused on cost reductions, cash generation and profitability in the near-term and driving long-term growth with the opportunities we have in our product portfolio and target markets."

The company reported GAAP gross profit margin of 43.3 percent for the third quarter of 2019 compared to 47.3 percent in the third quarter of 2018. Non-GAAP gross profit margin was 44.4 percent in the third quarter of 2019 compared to 47.4 percent in the third quarter of the prior year.

For the third quarter of 2019, GAAP operating expenses decreased 10.8 percent to $79.2 million compared to $88.8 million in the prior year period. GAAP SG&A expenses decreased 11.2 percent to $58.3 million. GAAP R&D expenses decreased 9.7 percent from the third quarter of the prior year to $20.9 million. The company continues to execute its cost reduction plans, and as a result of these actions, non-GAAP operating expenses decreased 6.0 percent to $69.3 million compared to $73.7 million in the third quarter of 2018.

The company generated $6.5 million of cash from operations during the quarter and had $127.6 million of unrestricted cash on hand at September 30, 2019. Cash generation during the third quarter was driven by improvements in working capital, including planned reductions of inventory.

Q3 2019 Conference Call and Webcast

The company expects to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 30, 2019. 3D Systems plans to hold a conference call and simultaneous webcast to discuss these results today, Wednesday, October 30, 2019, which may be accessed as follows:

Date: Wednesday, October 30, 2019

Time: 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time

I swear to you, I know nothing other than my hubby telling me to find a 3D printing company and invest in it. That's exactly what I did. You can guarantee I will be doing more digging though. This is what is listed on my TD account this afternoon. Of course the SP is going to climb after this news. For how long is the question we'd all like to know!

*3D Systems shares are trading higher after the company reported better-than-expected Q3 EPS and sales results.

[fung_derf]

Can't recall, but it's pretty apparent they all tanked at the same time. Hope you're not here to run a pump and dump. You seem to know more than you profess.

[Digmush]

MTLS was another one I looked at but opted on 3D because it was at a low when I bought and figured it had room to grow!

[Digmush]

I used to have a position in SSYS.

[flick]

XONE ?

[fung_derf]

Okey dokey. I don't see this stock as a core holding or worthy of any long term hold. Take the profit you can get and find a nice dividend payer.
There used to be three different 3-D stock plays need to track down the others. Wait, SSYS was one of them. Can't recall the other.

[Digmush]

I watched this for quite a while and jumped in when it was below $7. It's done well for me so far, not saying it can't turn around, but my choice is to leave it sit till at least 2025 unless something huge goes wrong. I'm not a trader, not good enough at that stuff

[fung_derf]

and has broken through a short term resistance today. Finishing the week above $9.15 would be a strong start. Through $9.78 another strength, then above $12 a Christmas miracle!

[fung_derf]

It may, in fact, be a good investment for you, depending on your time frame.

[Digmush]

DDD having good volume today!

[AHayesC]

Couldn't have said it better.

I was looking forward to a fresh face looking at DDD and potentially getting a lens posted here that I was not across or came to on my own.

DDD has been a disappointing growth story to date.

[Digmush]

I too could have used this explanation to provide me some insight. I honestly don't know a ton about this company, but wanted to make an investment in a 3D company, so this is the one I read up on and from what I all read, they sounded the most promising to me for the SP it was at. That's all! I'm sorry for coming across as though I may have known more. I truly felt this was a good investment when I got in.

[fung_derf]

That would have been a much better first post to the board for you. Instead you posted...

Why isn't anyone on this board? I believe DDD is a very strong long hold.

So, when we asked you to explain why you believe this, your response was less than helpful. Great that you want to be a part of the board for discussions, but if you are, enter with plans to support your belief.
FWIW, I believe 3D looked to be of value back in 2011-14. However, it failed mightily for whatever reason.
Either way, this stock has definitely NOT been a good long term hold to date. You should accept what we are telling you as people who may have more experience with the company.

[Digmush]

If you think I'm a to da moon person, you are very much mistaken. I don't claim to know much other than I know 3D technology has been growing so much over the years and there is a lot they are still working on. I have a husband who deals with 3D printing and believes this technology is the future. Whether or not 3D Corp will be the right investment, I will find out like others. I am just trying to be a part of a board for discussions and get others thoughts. Like I said, I can certainly stay away, I'm trying to learn like the next! Good Lord, I didn't mean to start whatever it is I started.

[fung_derf]

He didn't ask what you believed, he asked for your research. You come on here and make a pretty strong statement, then don't offer any reason for your opinion.
Do you want to be taken seriously for your opinion or just be another of the thousands around here who just say "to da moon!"?

[Digmush]

I will believe what I believe, you believe what you believe. Easy as that! I can refrain from posting here.
