Dear Fellow Stockholder:

We are pleased to invite you to 3D Systems Corporation’s 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

At 3D Systems, we are driven by relentless curiosity and our legacy as the pioneers of 3D printing, delivering the highest value application-driven solutions to empower our customers to innovate without limitations - Transforming Manufacturing for a Better Future.

Over the last few quarters, macro-economic and geopolitical uncertainty has presented an unfavorable climate for capital expenditure investments by our customers. This has largely driven a decline in our hardware systems revenues, but it has also demonstrated resilient usage of our solutions and consumables across our installed base, which is the largest in the industry. Importantly, while new printer sales have been sluggish, the demand and interest from customers for new additive applications continues to be incredibly robust, which we believe bodes well for future demand. Over the course of the last 12 months, we have focused on driving innovation, performance, and reliability through consistent investment in our core technologies, bringing to market a record number of new printers, materials, and software enhancements. In order to maintain the health of our business and deliver value to our shareholders, restructuring our company to define a path to profitability remains an on-going focus. We have taken a variety of steps in support of this, including insourcing manufacturing, reducing our facilities footprint, and right sizing our operating structure, predominantly across G&A functions. These actions enable us to remove unnecessary costs from the business while continuing to heavily invest in R&D to support future growth. Additionally, we’ve organized our company into two distinct business units: Healthcare and Industrial. This structure allows us to develop targeted strategies for our core end markets including dental, medical devices, personalized health services, aerospace & defense, transportation & motorsports, and AI infrastructure. While the last year has been painful, by having a strong balance sheet, focusing on cost efficiencies while maintaining critical investments in long-term organic growth, we will emerge from this period even stronger and better positioned for meaningful value creation in the future.

We encourage you to participate in the Annual Meeting to be held on May 16, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. We look forward to reviewing the past year with you, listening to your suggestions, and answering any questions that you may have. This meeting will be held virtually to accommodate our stockholders around the world who will be able to listen, vote and submit questions from their homes or any remote location with internet connectivity. Whether or not you plan to participate in the Annual Meeting, we encourage you to vote your shares as soon as possible to ensure that your vote will be counted.

Thank you for your continued support of 3D Systems.

Sincerely,

Dr. Jeffrey A. Graves

President and Chief Executive Officer
