A decade ago, 3D printing seemed like the future of design and manufacturing. With relatively common software, anyone could build a 3D printed model, opening up seemingly endless applications for everyone from hobbyists and educators to high-end manufacturers.
But the 3D printing market didn't turn out to be very lucrative for 3D printing companies themselves. Losses have mounted and stocks have been crushed, including that of 3D Systems (NYSE: DDD), which is one of the industry leaders. So is now the time to scoop up the stock, or has this contender fallen short?
