Read MoreHide Full Article
It has been about a month since the last earnings report for 3D Systems (DDD - Free Report) . Shares have lost about 5.1% in that time frame, underperforming the S&P 500.
But investors have to be wondering, will the recent negative trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is 3D Systems due for a breakout? Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at the most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important drivers.
3D Systems Q1 Earnings Beat Estimates, Revenues Increase Y/Y
3D Systems posted a first-quarter 2026 non-GAAP loss of 1 cent per share, narrower than the reported loss of 21 cents per share in the year-ago quarter. The figure beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 88.89%.
Revenues were $95.5 million, up 1% year over year or 11% excluding the impact of divestitures, and surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3.65%. Strength in Healthcare demand stood out, supported by double-digit growth across Dental, Med Tech and Aerospace and Defense.
Product revenues increased 5.5% year over year to $57.8 million in the first quarter, contributing 60.5% to total revenues. Services revenues, which accounted for 39.5% of total revenues, decreased 5.1% year over year to $37.8 million.
DDD’s Q1 Segmental Details
The company operates through two key segments — Healthcare Solutions and Industrial Solutions — tailored to the diverse industries it serves. Healthcare Solutions focuses on dental, medical devices, personalized health services, and regenerative medicine, whereas Industrial Solutions caters to aerospace, defense, transportation, and general manufacturing.
Healthcare Solutions remained the clear driver of the quarter. Segment revenue increased about 21% year over year to $50.1 million, reflecting broad-based momentum across key medical and dental applications. Dental and MedTech increased approximately 20% year over year.
Industrial Solutions, however, continued to face pressure. Segment revenue decreased roughly 15% year over year to $45.4 million, though the company noted that adjusting for 2025 divestitures, Industrial Solutions revenue increased 2% from the prior-year period.

In the first quarter of 2026, DDD’s non-GAAP gross profit increased 3.9% year over year to $34.4 million. The non-GAAP gross profit margin expanded 100 basis points to 36%, aided by higher volumes and a more favorable revenue mix.
