3D Systems Corporation announced today its financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016. For the second quarter of 2016, the company reported revenue of $158.1 million and a GAAP loss of $0.04 per share and non-GAAP earnings of $0.12 per share. Quarterly revenue benefited from continued strong demand for the company’s healthcare solutions and software as well as higher materials orders from healthcare and industrial customers.
