Revenue Decline: 3D Systems reported Q3 revenue of $91.2 million, down 13.8% year-over-year and reflecting continued weakness in customer capital spending and macro uncertainty.
Cost Reduction Progress: The company continued to cut operating expenses, achieving a 24% YoY reduction (excluding divested Geomagic) and remains on track to deliver over $50 million in annualized savings by year-end.
Gross Margin Pressure: Gross margin dropped to 33% from 38% a year ago, mainly due to lower volumes, manufacturing variances, and the absence of a previous Regenerative Medicine milestone.
New Product Launches: 3D Systems launched new printer platforms, including the MJP 300W Plus for jewelry and the NextDent Jetted Denture Solution for dental labs, both receiving strong positive feedback.
Strategic Divestitures: The company completed the sale of its Oqton and 3DXpert software platforms, impacting Q4 revenue and margin by about $1.2 million and $1 million, respectively.
Healthcare Growth: MedTech and personalized health services showed solid growth, with MedTech up 8% YoY and expected to grow at double digits for the year.
Saudi Joint Venture Momentum: 3D Systems' joint venture in Saudi Arabia secured high-profile deals in energy and defense, including a $26 million framework agreement and a partnership with Lockheed Martin.
Guidance: Q4 guidance factors in the effects of software divestitures, and management expects operating expenses to continue declining through the first half of 2026.
