Dear Fellow Stockholder:
We are pleased to invite you to 3D Systems Corporation’s 2026 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 year, macro-economic and geopolitical uncertainty has continued to create an unfavorable climate for capital expenditure investments by our customers. This drove a decline in our hardware systems revenues but also demonstrated more resilient usage of our solutions and consumables across our installed base, which is the largest in the industry. Importantly, while system sales were challenging throughout most of the year, the demand and interest from customers in new production-scale additive applications continued to be robust, which we believe bodes well for future demand. To meet this customer demand, over the course of the last 12 months, we have continued to focus 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 stockholders, in parallel with our new product initiatives, we executed significant restructuring activities to reduce operating costs and improve profitability and cash performance. These cost actions included reductions in our global facilities footprint, right sizing of our operating structure, and efficiency improvements in our G&A functions. These actions enabled us to realize substantial cost savings while continuing to heavily invest in R&D to support future growth. By organizing our company into two operating units, Healthcare and Industrial Solutions, we have developed targeted strategies for our core end markets, which include dental, medical devices, personalized health services, aerospace & defense, transportation & motorsports, and AI infrastructure. From a balance sheet standpoint, we were pleased to reduce our overall debt while repositioning remaining maturities to help us weather ongoing uncertainties in the geopolitical and macroeconomic landscape. We are proud of these accomplishments, and believe we are well positioned for the future with the broadest portfolio of polymer and metal additive technologies for customers in key markets around the world.
We encourage you to participate in the Annual Meeting to be held on May 14, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. (Eastern 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
