Stratasys, Ltd. (SSYS): ExOne Co (XONE)’s Big News Pulls 3D Systems Corporation (DDD) Shares Higher — but Why?

It will definitely be interesting to watch ExOne Co (NASDAQ:XONE)’s progress throughout the year, but I’d caution against reading its success as proof positive that the entire industry will thrive. Despite its long history as a technology, 3-D printing is still in its early stages, and there are bound to be a number of developments between here and maturity that could upend the best-intentioned projections of 3-D printing, both as a tool and as an investment.
