Dear Fellow Stockholder:
We are pleased to invite you to 3D Systems Corporation’s 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
At 3D Systems, our corporate purpose is to deliver leading additive manufacturing solutions for Industrial and Healthcare applications. Over the course of the last four years, we executed an aggressive four-phase plan to reorganize, restructure, divest non-core assets, and invest organically and through acquisition for accelerated growth. This plan included reorganizing into two business units, Healthcare Solutions and Industrial Solutions, restructuring to gain efficiencies, anddivesting non-core assets and businesses focused outside additive manufacturing. Our two key verticals span a range of industries. Healthcare Solutions includes dental, medical devices, personalized health services, and regenerative medicine. Industrial Solutions includes aerospace, defense, transportation, and general manufacturing.
After completion of our initial transformation activities, we prioritized our focus on driving innovation, performance, and reliability and empowering our customers to create products and models never before possible. We provide full-service solutions, powered by the experience of our application engineers who collaborate with customers to transform how they deliver their products and services.
During 2023, we announced three phases of restructuring activities to rationalize our cost structure and to better position us for long-term profitable growth. Execution on these activities continues in 2024.
