Results and growth drivers

  • Net loss against prior-year gain: Net loss attributable to 3D Systems was $(12.9) million, against net income of $104.4 million a year earlier. Diluted loss per share was $(0.09). The prior year included the Geomagic sale gain and a debt extinguishment gain. Source
  • Adjusted EBITDA near break-even: Adjusted EBITDA was $(0.8) million, up $4.6 million year over year and up $3.9 million excluding divestitures. For the first half, Adjusted EBITDA was $1.3 million. Source

Segments and regions

  • Healthcare grew, Industrial declined: Healthcare Solutions revenue rose about 6.8% to $48.1 million. Industrial Solutions revenue fell about 6.7% to $46.5 million, or 3.7% excluding divestitures. Source
  • Industrial rose sequentially, A&D grew: Industrial revenue increased 2.4% sequentially on higher product sales. Aerospace & Defense, the largest Industrial market, and Data Center Infrastructure each grew over 20%. Source
  • Med Tech and Dental drove Healthcare: Healthcare growth came mainly from higher sales of new printer systems in Med Tech and continued growth in Personalized Healthcare Services. Med Tech grew over 20% and Dental 3%. Source
  • Divestitures shape year-over-year comparisons: Geomagic, 3DXpert and Oqton were divested in 2025, so growth rates are also shown excluding them. Six-month Healthcare revenue was $98.2 million, against $86.3 million. Source

“As the additive manufacturing industry continues to emerge from a multi-year downturn, our sustained investments in research and development are now enabling us to introduce a broad portfolio of new products that are gaining increasing customer traction.”

Products and customers

  • New printer sales accelerated: Management said new printer sales accelerated, with double-digit growth in both metal and polymer hardware printer systems. Source
  • Portfolio breadth cited by management: Management cited the portfolio, which spans direct metal printing and all five major polymer technologies, combined with expertise in advanced applications. Source
  • Metal printing impact growing: Management noted the growing impact of metal 3D printing, where design flexibility and cost-effective production enable higher-performance components and systems. Source

Costs, margins and pricing

  • Gross margin fell on mix: Gross profit margin was 36.4% against 38.1% a year earlier. Non-GAAP margin excluding divestitures fell 150 basis points. Management attributed this to product mix and select pricing. Source
  • Tariff refunds partly offset margin: Approximately $2.6 million of tariff refunds were recovered in the quarter and partly offset the effects of product mix and pricing on gross profit. Source
  • Operating expense fell year over year: Total operating expense was $45.1 million against $51.5 million. Research and development was $10.0 million against $17.4 million, and SG&A was $35.1 million against $34.1 million. Source

“Adjusting for divestitures completed in 2025, total revenue increased 1.4% year over year and 6% for the first half of 2026, demonstrating continued core revenue growth in the year”
