Stratasys Impresses But Revenue Growth Needs Improvement


For such a hot sector, the 3D printing leaders are showing surprisingly low organic growth. Leader 3D Systems (DDD) reported only 22.1% organic growth for the latest quarter while Stratasys Ltd (SSYS) only managed 18% after merging with Objet.
