David Reis, chief executive officer of Stratasys, said, "Growth in our core business reflects the increasing demand for additive manufacturing, and our leadership within the marketplace. During the fourth quarter, MakerBot was affected by challenges associated with the introduction and scaling of its new product platform and its rapidly evolving distribution model. As market adoption continues to evolve and to the extent MakerBot continues to establish and expand sales channels, the Company expects MakerBot growth rates to ramp up to, or exceed, overall Company averages by 2016."
