Rank: 5, Profit growth: 112%

3D Systems has made Fortune Magazine’s 2013 list of the world's fastest-growing companies - ranking number 2 in tech and number 5 overall out of 100 global companies listed - for the second year in a row. As Fortune pointed out, even in stagnant or difficult economic times certain companies thrive, and its annual list of high achievers shines the spotlight on the most vibrant parts of our global economy.

Fortune highlighted the fact that additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, is being increasingly used to create cost-effective models and real parts for machines and end-use products. 3D Systems continuously invest in these technologies, processes and materials for both commercial and home use. With the addition of metal 3D printers and the ProJet® family of MultiJet and ColorJet 3D printers, 3D Systems now offers extended and advanced design, manufacturing and production capabilities, alongside the award-winning, professional-grade CubeX™ 3D printers at affordable consumer prices.

3D Systems were honoured to have made this prestigious list for the second year in a row, moving up in the rankings from 12th to 5th place alongside some of the largest and most celebrated companies in the world.
