Could 3D Systems’ (DDD) Latest Wax Printer Reveal Its True Edge in Specialized Manufacturing?

Editor’s Note

This article highlights the launch of 3D Systems’ MJP 300W Plus, a specialized 3D wax printer aimed at boosting productivity in jewelry manufacturing. It underscores the industry’s growing demand for high-quality, flexible production solutions.

Introduction of the MJP 300W Plus

In late September 2025, 3D Systems introduced the MJP 300W Plus, its most advanced 3D wax printer designed to enhance productivity and efficiency for jewelry manufacturers through multiple optimized print modes and improved material usage.

This launch highlights 3D Systems’ focus on specialized industrial applications and reflects increasing demand for flexible, high-quality solutions within the jewelry manufacturing sector.

Investment Narrative and Strategic Focus

To be a shareholder in 3D Systems, you need to believe in the company’s ability to carve out specialized industrial niches, like jewelry manufacturing, within a competitive and uncertain 3D printing market. While the newly launched MJP 300W Plus brings advanced productivity and flexibility, it may not materially shift the biggest near-term catalyst, healthcare and dental recurring revenues, or allay the persistent risk of weak capital spending slowing broader industrial recovery.

Among recent announcements, the August launch of the NextDent Jetted Denture Solution stands out as most relevant. Like the MJP 300W Plus, it targets a specialty manufacturing workflow, illustrating 3D Systems’ bid to drive growth through vertical-specific hardware and consumable solutions that could help cushion the company from cyclical swings in industrial capex.

Financial Outlook and Market Sentiment

3D Systems’ outlook anticipates $359.5 million in revenue and $2.6 million in earnings by 2028. This reflects a 4.5% annual revenue decline and an earnings improvement of $147.4 million from current earnings of -$144.8 million.

“Many point to ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty and slower customer spending as a major factor shaping the company’s near-term potential, pointing to a wide array of opinions on where the stock could go next.”

Simply Wall St Community members priced 3D Systems between US$2.36 and US$3.25 across two fair value estimates.
