• Primary focus on leveraging breakthroughs in AI to improve part quality, speed the design process for additive manufacturing, optimize manufacturing workflows and enhance ease-of-use in factory operating environments.
  
   
• Company to expand capabilities of 3D Sprint® for polymer production systems by leveraging AI and machine learning models, informed by data from industry's largest installed base of production printers.
  
   
• Hubb Global Holdings to assume leadership for industrywide, printer-agnostic software platforms through acquisition of Oqton® Manufacturing Operating System (MOS) and 3DXpert® software platforms. Objective is to accelerate adoption of production-scale 3D metal printing by providing faster design-to-manufacturing through automation and streamlined workflows as well as to efficiently operate mixed fleets of metal printers as needed for globally distributed manufacturing operations.
  
   
• Companies to establish a strategic relationship to support continued growth of 3D Systems' metal printing solutions incorporating 3DXpert® software.
   

ROCK HILL, S.C., Sept. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Following a comprehensive strategic review of its major software platforms, 3D Systems (NYSE: DDD) today announced its decision to focus development efforts on its proprietary polymer solution, 3D Sprint®, in response to the transformative potential of artificial intelligence in additive manufacturing. As part of this strategic focus, the company intends to divest its software platforms designed for broad industry adoption across all OEM printer manufacturers, which includes its Oqton® Manufacturing Operating System (MOS) and 3DXpert® metal printing platforms.
