Stratasys, makers of the Dimension series and high-end FDM series of 3D printers, suffered an 18% drop in stock price after fourth-quarter 2008 earnings were announced. Earnings grew a measly 11%, down significantly from earlier quarters. However, we suspect this is simply due to a general slow-down in the US economy that is affecting many… Continue reading StrataSys Stock Falls

They had been marketing the European-based Arcam products, which apparently specialize in printing 3D metal objects. What does this mean?
