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
