Vision
3D Systems' core corporate communication champions the possibilities enabled by 3D printing technology. The company supports and cheerleads the notion that 3D printing will revolutionize the way the world thinks and creates, and self-identifies as a leading innovator in a "disruptive" technology. The company believes 3D printing will positively impact global sustainability initiatives by reducing the carbon footprint of modern manufacturing's extensive need for shipping and inventory. 3D Systems projects a decentralized and re-localized future market in which private individuals or companies will be able to download digital designs for in-home or cloud printing.
3D Systems' CEO Abe Reichental predicts a future where "kids from 8 to 80" can design and print their ideas at home or locally. The company seeks to overcome design barriers of complex CAD software via 3D customization apps for mobile devices and the gamification of the design process to offer more intuitive software. The company claims it wants to bring "coloring book simplicity" to 3D printing.

Famous quotes containing the word vision:
“I have always fought for ideas—until I learned that it isn’t ideas but grief, struggle, and flashes of vision which enlighten.”
—Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)
““The god has not yet answered to our pity
For the black vision and tangle in her brains,
Nor is there knowing soever in the city
Of the red histories that throbbed in her blue veins.””
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“I’ve been cursed for delving into the mysteries of life. Perhaps death is sacred, and I’ve profaned it. Oh, what a wonderful vision it was. I dreamed of being the first to give to the world the secret that God is so jealous of, the formula for life. Think of the power, to create a man. And I did, I did it, I created a man. And who knows, in time I could have trained him to do my will. I could have bred a race, I might even have found the secret of eternal life.”
—William Hurlbut (1883–?)
