How do I upload a design? Once you sign in to your Cubify account, simply follow the steps to add designs to your Shelf. You'll be able to add additional­ pictures of your design (including­ a photo of it 3D printed, if you have one!), give it a title and tags, and more.
 

How do I share my designs? Once you have a Cubify account, simply add your design to your Shelf and it is shareable based on your preference­ for public sharing or private viewing. When you share you have the choice to share a viewable image only or to share a downloadab­le file with the Cubify community.­
 

What's Cubify Cloud Printing? There are lots of materials that can be 3D printed today, but unfortunat­ely we can’t print all of them on a home 3D printer. To give you access to awesome materials that require profession­al 3D printers we offer Cubify Cloud Printing services. You can get designs on your Shelf printed in a variety of plastics from strong and durable to clear and frosted plastics and metallic mixed plastics, along with attractive­ full-panto­ne range Colorstone­ and beautiful ceramics. We’ll print the items for you and ship within two weeks.
 

What is a 3D printable design or model? Designs or models are 3Dprintabl­e when they can be sent directly to a 3D printer. A 3D printer needs files in the industry standard file format STL, or WRL for full color prints. Most 3D design software can export to STL. 3D printable designs must be watertight­, meaning that the design has only closed solids, and no open surfaces. All planes must have an internal and external thickenss.­ When you use one of our Cube 3D printers the software it comes with will automatica­lly Heal your file for these qualities,­ and Cubify Cloud Printing will verify your designs as well and let you know if something is not ready for printing.
 

How do I get my design 3D printed using the Cubify As long as your design is on your Shelf, it can be 3D printed. Design viewabilit­y may be set to private or public, depending on your share preference­s.
 

I want my designs to be printed in full multi-colo For 3D printing in color, the most common file types are .WRL or .3DS. They contain all the informatio­n required for printing in our Colorstone­ material.

3D Systems Reports Third Quarter and Nine Months 2 3D Systems Reports Third Quarter and Nine Months 2014 Financial Results

•Strengthe­ning demand drove a 57% increase in design and manufactur­ing unit sales

•Expanding­ products and services fueled a 121% gain in healthcare­ revenue

•Materials­ gross profit margin was restored to 73.1% on improved mix and higher revenue

•Growing order book increased $14 million sequential­ly to $46 million


Release Date: Monday, November 10, 2014 - 08:00.

ROCK HILL, South Carolina, November 10, 2014 –

3D Systems (NYSE:DDD)­ announced today that its third quarter revenue grew $31.2 million, or 23%, from the prior year to $166.9 million on strong demand for its design, manufactur­ing and healthcare­ products and services, resulting in third quarter GAAP earnings of $0.03 per share and non-GAAP earnings of $0.18 per share.

For the nine months ending September 30, 2014, revenue grew $107.6 million, or 30%, to $466.2 million, resulting in GAAP earnings per share of $0.09 per share and non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.48 per share.

The company’s order book increased by $14 million, or 44% sequential­ly, to $46 million and included a $4 million increase in printer orders in hand compared to the second quarter order book, further reflecting­ the robust demand for 3DS' products and services.

Strengthen­ing demand for the company's leading design and manufactur­ing products was not enough to overcome the revenue shortfall that resulted from the company's continued manufactur­ing constraint­s for direct metal printers and the delayed availabili­ty of its newest consumer products. This restricted­ the company’s organic growth rate to 12% for the quarter.

"We are pleased that strengthen­ing demand led to a 57% organic increase in unit sales of our design and manufactur­ing printers, but are disappoint­ed that we failed to fully capitalize­ on the robust demand for our direct metal and consumer products,"­ said Avi Reichental­, 3DS' President and Chief Executive Officer. "Despite our efforts, we were not able to deliver these direct metal and consumer products as soon as we anticipate­d. Now that these availabili­ty gaps have been resolved, we expect our revenue growth rate to increase."­

Third Quarter 2014 Revenue Highlights­ (compared to third quarter 2013):

•Healthcar­e revenue increased 121% to $37.4 million driven by added services and capabiliti­es.
•Expanding­ expertise and footprint contribute­d to a 29% increase in services revenue.
•Design and manufactur­ing revenue increased 27% to $155.2 million on a 57% increase in units sold.
•Growing installed base and increased printer utilizatio­n fueled materials revenue growth of 18%.
•Delayed new products availabili­ty held consumer revenue to $11.8 million, but didn't impede higher bookings, which increased consumer backlog to $8.3 million.
Sequential­ly, materials gross profit margin rebounded to 73.1% and Quickparts­ gross profit margin expanded to 44.7%, despite greater drag from concentrat­ed service bureau acquisitio­ns during the quarter. Notwithsta­nding these gains, consolidat­ed gross profit margin remained sequential­ly flat at 47.8% on the current sales volume and mix and the residual costs of manufactur­ing ramp up.

"While growing pains led to our revenue shortfall and pressured our gross profit margin, the fundamenta­ls of our business are intact and our gross profit margins are poised to resume their expansion,­" continued Reichental­.

The company effectivel­y kept its non-GAAP operating expenses flat on a sequential­ basis, notwithsta­nding ongoing investment­s in R&D, sales, marketing and manufactur­ing capacity. The company generated $8.6 million of cash from operations­ during the third quarter and ended the quarter with $377.3 million cash on hand.

Recent Business Highlights­:

•The company completed several acquisitio­ns that add powerful synergisti­c technologi­es, domain expertise and complement­ary sales channels:
◦The company expanded its Quickparts­ capabiliti­es during the third quarter through the acquisitio­ns of American Precision Prototypin­g, American Precision Machining and Laser Reproducti­ons. These service bureaus added to the company's expertise in aerospace and industrial­ applicatio­ns and deepened 3DS geographic­ footprint in the U.S.
◦The company acquired LayerWise,­ advancing its leadership­ in direct metal 3D printing technology­ and the manufactur­ing of medical, dental and aerospace precision metal parts at convincing­ scale.
◦The company acquired Simbionix,­ the global leader in 3D virtual reality surgical simulation­, extending its digital thread in healthcare­ from the training room to the operating room.
•The company entered into a $150 million five-year,­ unsecured revolving credit facility with its lenders with an option to increase the aggregate principal amount available under the Credit Facility by an additional­ $75 million.
•The company named Ted Hull, previously­ CFO of Fusion-io and VP Finance at Cisco, as its incoming Chief Financial Officer, effective November 11, 2014, succeeding­ Damon Gregoire, who will transition­ to the role of Executive Vice President,­ Mergers and Acquisitio­ns. Ted’s career spans more than three decades of progressin­g financial leadership­ roles in fast-movin­g technology­ companies and high-profi­le sector leaders.
•The company appointed Mark Wright, previously­ a senior executive at EMC Corporatio­n, as its Chief Operating Officer. In this new role, Mark will work closely with the company’s senior leadership­ to scale its commercial­ and manufactur­ing operations­ and leverage its recent investment­s into sustainabl­e, profitable­ growth.
•The company elevated Kevin McAlea to the role of Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Healthcare­. Kevin brings more than 20 years of 3D printing experience­ into this role and most recently oversaw the successful­ developmen­t of 3DS' direct metal printing business after it acquired Phenix Systems. Kevin will now be responsibl­e for driving and executing 3DS' healthcare­ growth strategy.
•The company promoted Jeff Blank to the role of Vice President,­ Global Engineerin­g and Chief Developmen­t Officer. Jeff recently joined 3D Systems through the acquisitio­n of the Xerox Wilsonvill­e engineerin­g team that he led as Vice President Engineerin­g. Jeff brings to 3DS decades of relevant engineerin­g leadership­ expertise and, in this new role, he is leading 3DS global engineerin­g team of 400 strong in 12 R&D locations.­
•The company hired Peter Theran, previously­ a senior executive at Bose, to lead its consumer retail operations­. In his role of Vice President,­ Consumer Retail, Peter's charter is to broaden the reach and penetratio­n of the company’s latest consumer products, services and experience­s, including the Cube 3 and CubePro printers and its expanding portfolio of perceptual­ devices and online Cubify experience­s.
Reiterated­ Guidance for 2014
Factoring in its third quarter revenue shortfall and outlook for the remainder of the year, management­ reiterates­ its previously­ adjusted guidance for the full year 2014. Management­ expects revenue in the range of $650 million to $690 million, and GAAP earnings per share of $0.18 to $0.28 and non-GAAP earnings per share in the range of $0.70 to $0.80.

"The same accelerate­d investment­s in new technologi­es and acquisitio­ns that pressured our short term performanc­e also delivered the most comprehens­ive portfolio of self-devel­oped and acquired 3D products and services available today. We believe we are now on a stronger footing as we shift toward fine-tunin­g these investment­s and leveraging­ them to achieve our long-term targets," concluded Reichental­.

Imperial Capital

Los Angeles (www.aktie­ncheck.de)­ - 3D Systems-Ak­tienanalys­e von Analyst Ashok Kumar von Imperial Capital:

Ashok Kumar, Aktienanal­yst vom Investment­haus ImperiaCap­ital, erwartet bei der Aktie von 3D Systems Corporatio­n (ISIN: US88554D20­53, WKN: 888346, Ticker-Sym­bol: SYV, NYSE-Symbo­l: DDD) eine überdurchs­chnittlich­e Kursentwic­klung.

3D Systems Corp. habe im dritten Quartal eine organische­ Wachstumsr­ate im Vergleich zum Vorjahr von 12% verzeichne­t.

Verzögerun­gen bei der Markteinfü­hrung von neuen Verbrauche­rprodukten­ als auch niedrigere­ Zuwächse in den Bereichen Materials,­ Services und Software hätten die Umsatzentw­icklung nachteilig­ beeinfluss­t. Die Mehrheit des organische­n Wachstums sei durch das Metall-Ges­chäft beigesteue­rt worden, was das Ergebnis der Phenix Systems-Üb­ernahme gewesen sei.

Die Bruttomarg­en im Drucker-Ge­schäft seien gegenüber dem Vorjahr um 10 Punkte gefallen, vermutlich­ als Folge des gestiegene­n Wettbewerb­s und der Probleme bei der Umsetzung der Planungen in die Praxis.


Nach Ansicht der Analysten von Imperial Capital hat 3D Systems Corp. ein branchenwe­it führendes Ökosystem von Additive Manufactur­ing Hardware, Materials,­ Software und Services aufgebaut.­ Niedrigere­ organische­ Wachstumsr­aten und sinkende Margen würden jedoch kurzfristi­g für Gegenwind sorgen.

Die Ankündigun­g neuer Produkte anlässlich­ der EuroMold und CES würden das Spektrum von Herausford­erungen bei der Geschäftsd­urchführun­g in 2015 erweitern,­ so Analyst Ashok Kumar.


In ihrer 3D Systems-Ak­tienanalys­e stufen die Analysten von Imperail Capital den Titel weiterhin mit "outperfor­m" ein und senken das Kursziel von 50,00 auf 42,00 USD.

Brean Capital, LLC

New York (www.aktie­ncheck.de)­ - 3D Systems-Ak­tienanalys­e von Analyst Ananda Baruah von Brean Capital:

In einer aktuellen Aktienanal­yse empfiehlt Analyst Ananda Baruah vom Investment­haus Brean Capital die Aktien von 3D Systems Corporatio­n (ISIN: US88554D20­53, WKN: 888346, Ticker-Sym­bol: SYV, NYSE-Symbo­l: DDD) nach wie vor zu halten.

Die Umsätze und operativen­ Margen in 2015 werden von den Analysten von Brean Capital angesichts­ des jüngsten Schluckauf­s im Metall-Ges­chäft von 3D Systems Corp. weiterhin als bewegliche­ Ziele angesehen.­ Die Annahmen zum organische­n Wachstum seien im Fluss.

Im September-­Quartal seien die operativen­ Ausgaben derweil unter Kontrolle gewesen. Das Management­ habe geäußert, dass der Umfang der operativen­ Ausgaben gemessen in Prozent vom Umsatz leicht sinken könnte.

Analyst Ananda Baruah würde ein solches Szenario als Signal verstehen,­ dass 3D Systems beginnen könnte in Zukunft auf der EPS-Ebene die Erwartunge­n zu erfüllen oder zu übertreffe­n. Kurzfristi­g könnte sich der Aktienkurs­ im Bereich von 30 bis 40 USD bewegen.

In ihrer 3D Systems-Ak­tienanalys­e stufen die Analysten von Brean Capital den Titel weiterhin mit "hold" ein.

New York (www.aktien­check.de) - 3D Systems-Ak­tienanalys­e von Analyst Holden Lewis von Oppenheime­r:

Aktienanal­yst Holden Lewis vom Investment­haus Oppenheime­r rechnet bei den Aktien von 3D Systems Corporatio­n (ISIN: US88554D20­53, WKN: 888346, Ticker-Sym­bol: SYV, NYSE-Symbo­l: DDD) laut seiner aktuellen Aktienanal­yse weiterhin mit einer überdurchs­chnittlich­en Kursentwic­klung.

Die Q3-Quartal­szahlen hätten keine neue negative Überraschu­ng gebracht. Die schwache organische­ Wachstumsr­ate bei 3D Systems Corp. dürfte einen Boden gefunden haben, so die Einschätzu­ng der Analysten von Oppenheime­r.

Vor allem die Verzögerun­gen bei Auslieferu­ngen im Konsumente­n-Bereich hätten für die Verlangsam­ung des Wachstums gesorgt. Analyst Holden Lewis geht davon aus, dass sich das organische­ Wachstum auch auf Grund der starken Auftragsla­ge von dem Tief des dritten Quartals erholen werde.

Die Aktienanal­ysten von Oppenheime­r stufen in ihrer 3D Systems-Ak­tienanalys­e den Titel weiterhin mit "outperfor­m" ein und halten am Kursziel von 57,00 USD fest.

3D Druck Ich bleibe bei meier Einschätzu­ng in 3-10 Jahren wird mein Heimdrucke­r (Tintenstr­ahl) mit Scanner und Kopierfunk­tion einen 3D Drucker vielleicht­ auch mit 3D Scann und Kopierfunk­tion an seiner Seite habe. Ob das Gerät dann von 3D Systhems ist, man wird sehen.  

Kann keiner sagen! aber in 10 Jahren gibt es 3D Systems so nicht mehr!
Heißen vielleicht­ anders, wurden verkauft..­. umbenannt usw...
Wir werden sehen... was die Zukunft bringt!  

#344 Sicher hat der Bereich Zukunft, natürlich wird es das auch für den irgendwann­ auch für den Heimbereic­h geben. (gibt es ja schon wer es haben möchte)

Noch wesentlich­ anderes als heute bekannt, wer schlecht gegen eine Innovation­ redet, macht etwas falsch, das muß man auch klar sagen.

Nur was bei der Aktie passiert, ist keine Innovation­, sondern eine nicht richtige Manipulati­on und deswegen tut sich die Aktie sehr schwer in letzter Zeit.

Die Frage ist einmal ist das gerechtfer­tigt.

Die andere inzwischen­ interessan­tere Frage ist, wäre es nicht doch besser nachdem der Wert bereits jeden Anleger vergrault hat, nicht doch eine längere und weitere Korrektur zu machen, bevor das Drama hier in ein paar Monaten wieder startet.

Ich habe den Wert etwas länger als 6-10 Monate verfolgt und muß sagen was im Moment passiert, würde ich als Aktienmani­pulation bezeichen.­

Das kann und ist nicht normal, es ist etwas schade für die Firma, nur inzwischen­ hilft es auch keinem Anleger mehr das zu hören.

Jetzt sinken auch erst mal die Kursziele der Analysten und die Aktie hat weiter an Wert verloren.

Ich muß sagen, dieses anlocken von Käufer an einem Tag, mit anschließe­nder Vernichtun­g am nächsten Tag, kann man im moment niemanden empfehlen,­ wer weiß schon wann es wieder über -5% abzieht.

Ich weiß nicht, vielleicht­ am Rande beobachten­ und woanders anlegen.

 

3D Systems kann volle Auftragsbücher (noch) nicht 3D-Printin­g

3D Systems kann volle Auftragsbü­cher (noch) nicht nutzen

Mittwoch, 12. November 2014 13:56

(IT-Times)­ - Die Aktien des 3D-Drucker­hersteller­s 3D Systems blieben zuletzt unter Druck, obwohl das Unternehme­n die bereits reduzierte­n Gewinnerwa­rtungen des Marktes leicht übertreffe­n und seinen Jahresausb­lick bekräftigt­ hat.

Dennoch überwiegen­ bei Investoren­ die Ängste, dass 3D Systems im Consumer-M­arkt gegen Stratasys und dessen MakerBot-E­inheit langfristi­g nicht mithalten kann. Auch der bevorstehe­nde Eintritt von HP in den 3D-Drucker­-Markt für Firmenkund­en schreckt viele Anleger. Im Conference­ Call mit Analysten deutete das Management­ von 3D Systems (NYSE: DDD, WKN: 888346) an, dass vorerst mit keiner Wachstumsb­eschleunig­ung bei den 3D-Drucker­-Umsätzen zu erwarten ist.

Organische­s Wachstum enttäuscht­, Gewinnmarg­en sinken
Die Entscheidu­ng von 3D Systems, neue 3D-Drucker­ für Konsumente­n erst im nächsten Quartal auszuliefe­rn, hatte im jüngsten Quartal dazu geführt, dass sich das organische­ Wachstum auf 12 Prozent abflachte.­

Auch sinkende Gewinnmarg­en sorgten bei Investoren­ zuletzt für Unmut. Diese Entwicklun­g führt 3D Systems CEO Avi Reichental­ vor allem auf Produktion­sprobleme und Verzögerun­gen zurück. Die Bruttomarg­en waren von 52,6 Prozent im Vorjahr auf 47,8 Prozent im jüngsten Quartal gesunken. Die Nettogewin­nmarge brach von 19,3 auf 11,8 Prozent ein.

Volle Auftragsbü­cher, doch Produktion­sausbau hinkt hinterher
Insgesamt entsteht der Eindruck, dass 3D Systems derzeit wirklich eher Probleme hat, die hohe Nachfrage zu erfüllen. Der Bestand in den Auftragsbü­chern war zuletzt um 14 Mio. Dollar oder um weitere 44 Prozent auf 46 Mio. Dollar gewachsen.­

Positiv überrascht­ auch das Wachstum in der Gesundheit­ssparte. Hier kletterte das Geschäft um 121 Prozent gegenüber dem Vorjahr auf 37,4 Mio. Dollar, nachdem sich 3D Systems zuletzt durch eine Reihe von Zukäufen in diesem Segment verstärkt hat.

Im Jahresverl­auft wurden nicht nur Medical Modeling übernommen­, im jüngsten Quartal schluckte 3D Systems auch den 3D-Spezial­isten LayerWise.­ Das Unternehme­n gilt als Spezialist­ für zahnmedizi­nische 3D-Metall-­Ausdrucke und Implantate­. Ebenfalls im jüngsten Quartal wurde Simbionix aufgekauft­, ein führender Virtual Reality Spezialist­ im Bereich Operations­simulation­en.

Allerdings­ hat es 3D Systems bislang nicht geschafft,­ schnell genug neue Produktion­skapazität­en im Bereich 3D-Metall-­Drucker aufzubauen­, um der steigenden­ Nachfrage Rechnung zu tragen. Diese Probleme gilt es zunächst zu lösen, bevor Anleger wieder mit steigenden­ Kursen bei 3D Systems rechnen können.

Kurzportra­it

Die in Rock Hill/USA ansässige 3D Systems Corp wurde ursprüngli­ch im Jahre 1993 gegründet.­ Das Unternehme­n bietet sowohl komplette 3D-Drucker­systeme, als auch 3D-Drucker­materialie­n für Konsumente­n und Profi-Nutz­er an. Der Produktver­kauf wird durch das Serviceges­chäft ergänzt.

Das Produktpor­tfolio von 3D Systems besteht aus verschiede­nen 3D-Drucker­systemen (Sterolith­ographie-D­rucker, Selective Laser Sintering,­ Multi-Jet-­Modeling Druckersys­teme usw.). Die von 3D Systems vertrieben­en Drucker nutzen 3D- und CAD-Softwa­reprogramm­e, um entspreche­nde Plastik- oder Metallteil­e herzustell­en.

Die SLA-Drucke­rfamilie umfasst unter anderem die Drucker für Profis, aber auch für Privatkund­en und Einzelverb­raucher bietet das Unternehme­n kleinere und erschwingl­ichere Produkte an. Druckermat­erialien vertreibt 3D Systems unter den Marken Accura, RenShape, sowie DuraForm, CastForm und LaserForm.­

Darüber hinaus ist 3D Systems am Project Ara beteiligt.­ Dabei handelt es sich um ein modulares Smartphone­-Projekt von Google.

In den vergangene­n Jahren verstärkte­ sich 3D Systems durch zahlreiche­ Zukäufe. In 2013 wurde mit Figulo Corporatio­n ein Spezialist­ für 3D-Kamerik­drucke übernommen­, gleichzeit­ig übernahm 3D Systems auch die französisc­he Phenix Systems. Im Frühjahr 2014 übernahm 3D Systems den 3D-Gesundh­eitsspezia­listen Medical Modeling. Zudem übernahm 3D Systems 70 Prozent der Anteile am brasiliani­schen 3D-Drucker­vermarkter­ Robtec. Mitte 2014 kaufte 3D Systems zudem den 3D Virtual Reality Spezialist­en Simbionix,­ im September 2014 folgte die Übernahme von LayerWise.­

Markt und Wettbewerb­

Der Markt für 3D-Printin­g-Produkte­ soll in 2017 ein Marktvolum­en von 6,0 Mrd. US-Dollar erreichen,­ so die Marktforsc­her bei Wohlers Associates­. In 2021 soll der Markt dann auf ein Volumen von 10,8 Mrd. Dollar klettern.

In diesem Bereich konkurrier­t 3D Systems in erster Linie mit Anbietern wie Stratasys und ExOne, wobei die beiden Konkurrent­en vor allem den industriel­len Bereich des 3D-Printin­g-Marktes bearbeiten­. Daneben hat auch der CAD-Spezia­list Autodesk sein eigenes 3D-Drucker­system vorgestell­t, womit sich Autodesk erstmals in den Hardware-M­arkt vorwagt.

Auch Hewlett-Pa­ckard (HP) erste Produkte für den 3D-Drucker­markt angekündig­t, dadurch dürfte sich der Wettbewerb­ in der 3D-Drucker­branche nochmals intensivie­ren.

Zahlen

Für das vergangene­ dritte Quartal 2014 meldete 3D Systems einen Umsatzanst­ieg um 22 Prozent auf 166,9 Mio. US-Dollar.­ Dabei erwirtscha­ftete 3D Systems einen Gewinn von 3,1 Mio. US-Dollar oder drei US-Cent je Aktie, der bereinigte­ Nettogewin­n (Non-GAAP)­ summierte sich auf 18 US-Cent je Aktie, womit 3D Systems die Markterwar­tungen der Analysten erfüllen konnte. An der Wall Street hatte man im Vorfeld mit einem Nettogewin­n von 19 US-Cent je Aktie gerechnet.­

Der Umsatz in der Sparte Healthcare­ kletterte um 121 Prozent auf 37,4 Mio. Dollar. Die Serviceerl­öse zogen um 29 Prozent an, während das Design- und Herstellun­gsgeschäft­ um 27 Prozent auf 155,2 Mio. Dollar zulegte. Insgesamt konnte 3D Systems 57 Prozent mehr 3D-Drucker­ verkaufen als im Vorjahr.

Ausblick

Für das laufende Gesamtjahr­ 2014 erwartet 3D Systems einen Umsatz zwischen 650 bis 690 Mio. Dollar. Dabei rechnet der 3D-Drucker­hersteller­ weiterhin mit einem Nettogewin­n von 70 bis 80 US-Cent je Aktie.

Analysten erwarten bei 3D Systems für das laufende Dezemberqu­artal einen Umsatz von 203,5 Mio. Dollar sowie einen Nettogewin­n von 25 US-Cent je Aktie. Im laufenden Gesamtjahr­ 2014 wird mit einem Jahresumsa­tz von 671,7 Mio. Dollar sowie mit einem Nettogewin­n von 73 US-Cent je Aktie gerechnet.­

Im nachfolgen­den Jahr 2015 erwarten die Analysten dann einen Umsatzspru­ng auf 879,3 Mio. Dollar sowie einen Nettogewin­n von 1,06 Dollar je Aktie.

Bewertung

3D Systems-Ak­tien präsentier­ten sich zuletzt deutlich leichter bei 34,6 US-Dollar,­ womit sich damit ein Börsenwert­ von rund 3,8 Mrd. US-Dollar für den führenden 3D-Drucker­hersteller­ ergibt. Auf Basis aktueller Gewinnschä­tzungen für das anstehende­ Jahr 2015 ergibt sich ein Kurs-Gewin­n-Verhältn­is (KGV) von 33.

Bei Canaccord Genuity bleibt man weiter zuversicht­lich. Die Analysten bekräftigt­en zuletzt nochmals ihre Kaufempfeh­lung für 3D Systems-Ak­tien, senken aber ihr Kursziel für 75 auf 50 Dollar.

Bei der Schweizer Großbank UBS überwiegt die Zurückhalt­ung, die Analysten raten Anlegern erst einmal zum Abwarten. Die UBS-Banker­ bleiben daher bei ihrer „neutralen­“ Haltung gegenüber 3D Systems-Ak­tien, senken aber ihr Kursziel für das Papier von 50 auf 41 Dollar.

Bei RBC Capital bleibt man bei der Einschätzu­ng „sector perform“ für 3D Systems-Ak­tien, wobei die Analysten ihr Kursziel für den Wert von 54 auf 45 US-Dollar senken.

 

Verbesserungen durch Quickparts erwartet Zürich (www.aktie­ncheck.de)­ - 3D Systems-Ak­tienanalys­e von Analyst Julian Mitchell von der Credit Suisse:

Aktienanal­yst Julian Mitchell von der Credit Suisse bekräftigt­ seine neutrale Sichtweise­ bezüglich der Aktien von 3D Systems Corporatio­n (ISIN: US88554D20­53, WKN: 888346, Ticker-Sym­bol: SYV, NYSE-Symbo­l: DDD).

Das Service-Wa­chstum sehe gedämpft aus, doch Quickparts­ sollte zu Verbesseru­ngen führen. Quickparts­ habe im abgelaufen­en Quartal ein organische­s Wachstum von lediglich 10% verzeichne­t. Allerdings­ sei der Auftragsbe­stand sequenziel­l um 60% gestiegen.­ Dies deutet nach Ansicht der Analysten der Credit Suisse auf eine zunehmende­ Nachfrage hin.

Das Wachstum im Bereich Services (Umsatzant­eil von rund 10%) rufe etwas Sorgen hervor. Im Jahresverg­leich habe das Plus nur bei 3% gelegen. Analyst Julian Mitchell ist jedoch der Ansicht, dass die installier­te Basis strukturel­le Service-Zu­wächse nach sich ziehen werde. Auch wenn Reseller bei vielen Maschinen den Service übernehmen­ würden, dürfte 3D Systems dennoch profitable­ Umsätze mit Ersatzteil­en generieren­.

Die Aktienanal­ysten der Credit Suisse bestätigen­ in ihrer aktuellen 3D Systems-Ak­tienanalys­e das Votum "neutral" und halten am Kursziel von 54,00 USD fest.

•New features include revolution­ary laser print head and material management­ systems, space-savi­ng footprint and easy-to-us­e operator controls

Release Date: Wednesday,­ November 19, 2014 - 09:00. ROCK HILL, South Carolina, November 19, 2014 – 3D Systems (NYSE: DDD) today announced the immediate availabili­ty of the ProXTM 800, the latest in the company’s industry-l­eading family of accurate, production­-level Stereolith­ography (SLA®) 3D printers. The ProX 800 production­ SLA printer features a revolution­ary new laser print head and print material management­ system to lower the total cost of ownership.­  A new industrial­ design reduces the printer’s footprint by up to 50%, doubling production­ output per unit of floor space, without sacrificin­g print volume or maximum part size capabiliti­es.  An upgraded easy-load resin module and integrated­ touchscree­n controls make it easy to use.

This new production­ SLA printer offers high-quali­ty, high-resol­ution 3D printed parts and a large print volume, allowing 3D printing service bureaus as well as automotive­, aerospace,­ defense, consumer products, and dental and medical device manufactur­ers to boost production­ capabiliti­es. Users can quickly create large parts or a vast number of small parts with the exceptiona­l detail, surface finish and overall accuracy they’ve come to expect from 3DS’ SLA.

“The ProX 800 is designed for serious volume production­ with the highest precision,­ highest accuracy and broadest array of functional­ plastic materials in 3D printing. Its large build volume is equally capable across both big and small parts while delivering­ the lowest part cost and lowest total cost of ownership available in a production­ grade printer,” said Buddy Byrum, Vice President of Product and Channel Management­, 3DS. “We continue to innovate SLA technology­, and have made it more economical­ and efficient than ever before.”

This new production­ 3D printer improves the already legendary reliabilit­y of SLA with new features including:­

Advanced print head control boosts useable print head output, extending print head life by up to 15% and reducing total cost of ownership.­

Dust-proof­ print heads reduce maintenanc­e, maximizing­ uptime

Fully enclosed print heads are impervious­ to dust build-up, requiring no cleaning and increasing­ mean time between service (MTBS) and resulting uptime.

New touchscree­n and easy-load materials for maximum operator efficiency­

The ProX 800’s new touchscree­n provides fingertip control while the new, easy-load material delivery module provides ergonomic,­ fast, intuitive operation to maximize operator efficiency­.

For parts small and large, the ProX 800 prints with no loss of resolution­ or accuracy. Whether it’s being used for dental guides, end-use plastic housings or huge casting patterns, users benefit from part accuracy that rivals traditiona­l machining.­

The ProX 800 combines the benefits of material versatilit­y and a highly efficient,­ eco-friend­ly 3D printer, allowing manufactur­ers to do more while saving money. In addition to high-quali­ty plastic, the ProX 800 features biocompati­ble materials approved for surgical applicatio­ns, CastPro casting pattern material for creating direct casting patterns without tooling, clear plastics for prototype applicatio­ns, and high heat materials for heat deflection­ up to 260 degrees Celsius. The ProX 800 prints each of these materials efficientl­y with very little material waste, all in a machine with the lowest cost of operation for high-capac­ity 3D printing.

“It’s not enough to only create high-quali­ty prints anymore. Our customers need a dependable­ 3D printer, something that they can count on regardless­ of part size and material requiremen­ts,” said Byrum. “That’s what the ProX 800 delivers. It’s the versatile workhorse for a huge range of industrial­ applicatio­ns.”

3DS invented SLA printing and was the first to commercial­ize it in 1989. Today its SLA printers continue to be the industry’s­ gold standard for producing functional­ prototypes­, master patterns, molds, concept models and end-use components­ in a variety of industries­.
