About one and half months I bought a 3d printer called Zprinter model 150 for a small business we have here and I liked its potential so much I sought out the company who was behind it thinking they have a good product to sell with high demand in the current bad economic climate. So I invested in the company around first week of January (even though I do not have any US stocks at the moment and this is my only one for a long time) at around $ 12.30 and today the stock is at $ 19.89. Looks like its time for me to get out while the going is good...

ROCK HILL, S.C., Jan. 24, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 3D Systems Corporation (NYSE:DDD) announced today that A. O. Smith Corporation (NYSE:AOS), a leading global manufacturer of water heating equipment, is creating more attractive and energy-efficient water heaters through its advanced new product development process, which integrates 3D printing solutions from the company's full-color professional 3D printers.

Using a ZPrinter® to create prototypes in-house, A. O. Smith is shaving weeks off product development, saving substantial cost as well as time. This enables them to iterate more productively and thoroughly refine designs, according to the R&D team.

"Instead of commissioning aluminum molds or sending out to busy contractors for plastic models, we can produce our own high-resolution color prototypes for a fraction of the cost," said A. O. Smith CAD Supervisor, Steve Wood, from the company's Johnson City, TN, manufacturing facility. "When a trial design isn't perfect, we quickly revise it and print another 3D model, or we create several different prototypes at the same time. Our ZPrinter gives us the flexibility to make real-time changes and react quickly to our customers' demands." Read More

Not really Kenny. The only reason I bought the stock is I bought a 3D printer made by them which is truly amazing and I was convinced 100% that they would find many buyers for this printer. My assumption was just proven right in this case. You can take a look at how their printer works on youtube , just search "Z corp 3D printer".

3D Systems Reports Fourth Quarter Results

Highest Quarterly and Annual Revenue and Printer Units Ever

Initiates Revenue and Earnings Guidance for 2012

ROCK HILL, S.C., Feb. 23, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --3D Systems Corporation (NYSE:DDD) announced today non-GAAP adjusted earnings of 27 cents per share for the fourth quarter of 2011 and GAAP earnings of 16 cents per share.

Revenue increased 35% to $69.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2011 and 44% to $230.4 million for the full year. Printer units grew 190% for the quarter and 242% for the year resulting in record printer revenue and units shipped.

To facilitate a better understanding of the impact that several significant strategic acquisitions had on its financial results, with today's earnings release the company began to report non-GAAP measures which adjust net income and earnings per share by excluding the impact of stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, non-cash interest expense, non-recurring acquisition expenses and the release of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is provided in the accompanying tables.

For the full year 2011 the company reported non-GAAP adjusted net income of $41.0 million resulting in $0.81 per share, up 69% compared to full year 2010, and GAAP net income of $35.4 million, or $0.70 per share.

Another friend has start mentioning 3D printers (to me, that is a sign of the trend that is developing).

Seems like Ali has caught the trend early and is riding the wave.

Thank you Iam802,

Like I said before I have the printer here in a small business and I can tell you frankly this makes money. So the way I see it we are now looking at one of their more proffessional models which I assume would happen with other users too because there is on the ground demand for the 3D printer service. And there are only 2 companies listed in the market (forgot the name of the other one, please google) but frankly speaking this company has cheaper models which are more affordable to a lot more small service providers like me. Most of our customers require us to make scale models of buildings. I think the demand would be even more higher even in a negative economy.

Now the stock I think is stabiling around the US$ 27 mark and getting the momentum to go higher. I am assuming this based on the significant volume increase for the last 4 weeks.

Take care all

Ali
