Read MoreHide Full Article

Headquartered in Rock Hill, SC, 3D Systems Corp. (DDD - Free Report) is a leading provider of 3D content-to-print solutions including 3D printers, print materials, on-demand custom parts services and 3D authoring solutions for professionals and consumers, worldwide. The company also provides scanners for a variety of medical and mechanical X-Ray film digital archiving.

3D Systems has been making consistent efforts to strengthen its operational efficiency and expand its business via acquisitions. Surging popularity of 3D printing in almost every field, ranging from automotive and consumer products to defense and industrial/business machines, has provided the much-needed pick-up for the company after a prolonged gloomy period.

3D Systems has an extremely volatile earnings history, oscillating between incredible beats and abysmal misses. Over the trailing four quarters, the company has posted three huge beats and missed estimates drastically once. Last quarter, it had posted an incredible beat of 900%.

3D Systems Corporation Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
