Huge Companies Adopting 3-D Printing

Staples (NASDAQ: SPLS), General Electric (NYSE: GE), and Daimler are all getting into the 3-D printing game, which are some big names to be entering the industry. This may suggest that the 3-D printing revolution, which many thought would come eventually but maybe further down the road, is closer than we think. In this video, Motley Fool industrials analyst Blake Bos talks us through what aspects of the 3-D printing business these companies are getting into, and what it means for the current giants of 3-D printing, 3D Systems (NYSE: DDD) and Stratasys (NASDAQ: SSYS).

3D Systems is at the leading edge of a disruptive technological revolution, with the broadest portfolio of 3-D printers in the industry. However, despite years of earnings growth, 3D Systems' share price has risen even faster, and today the company sports a dizzying valuation. To help investors decide whether the future of additive manufacturing is bright enough to justify the lofty price tag on the company's shares, The Motley Fool has compiled a premium research report on whether 3D Systems is a buy right now. In our report, we take a close look at 3D Systems' opportunities, risks, and critical factors for growth.
