3D Systems Corporation (DDD) Strengthens Growth Outlook With Expanded Production Capabilities

3D Systems Corp (NYSE:DDD) is one of the best NYSE penny stocks to buy now. On January 5, 3D Systems Corp (NYSE:DDD) reiterated its aerospace and defense business is poised to become the largest industrial segment in 2026. It expects the business to grow by over 20% in 2026, building on a 15% growth in 2025.

The robust growth will come on the heels of facility expansion and favorable regulatory changes. 3D Systems has already begun expanding its Littleton, Colorado, facility by up to 80,000 square feet to enhance its Aerospace and Defense Application Center of Excellence. The expansion drive is expected to increase capacity for application development and production-scale manufacturing.

Consequently, revenue from production printing systems and custom metal parts is expected to exceed $35 million in 2026. The revenue growth would also come on the National Defense Authorization Act, restricting the use of foreign-sourced 3D printing systems in Department of Defense programs, expected to trigger demand for domestic providers.

3D Systems has already inked a multi-phase, $18.5 million US Air Force-sponsored program to develop next-generation laser powder bed fusion technologies.

3D Systems Corporation (NYSE:DDD) provides comprehensive additive manufacturing solutions, including 3D printers, printing materials, and software. The company serves industries such as healthcare, aerospace, and defense with technologies including SLA, SLS, and metal printing to produce functional parts and prototypes.
