"In connection with our ongoing review of our business and industry, we believe that the most meaningful opportunities today are in professional and industrial settings, from the product design shop to the operating room to the factory floor," said Andy Johnson, Interim-Chief Executive Officer & Chief Legal Officer, 3D Systems. The 'Design Feed', 'My Shelf', and retail marketplace will be discontinued as of January 31, 2016 “What does this mean for you? Just a few changes on where to shop!” “We’re excited to announce that we will be focusing on serving our customers in the education and engineer’s desktop markets in the New Year,” wrote the company in the original email. Customer support and 3D printing material sales will continue through a new e-commerce platform at, however sales of all retail 3D printed products are apparently being nixed permanently. In addition to discontinuing its consumer 3D printer, the platform, which sells Cube 3D printers, 3D printing supplies, as well as a wide range of 3D printed consumer objects, including home décor, fashion, and toys, will close as of January 31, 2016.
The remaining inventory of Cube printers will continue to be sold until exhausted, and sales of the $2,799 CubePro 3D printer-the company’s larger, higher-end model designed for desktop engineering, educational, and professional applications-will continue for the foreseeable future. In a decisive move away from “consumer products” and towards the seemingly more profitable professional and industrial 3D printing markets, 3D Systems is discontinuing production of its low-cost $999 Cube desktop 3D printer. Today, the news has been officially confirmed and clarified by the company itself. The email left many wondering just what this sudden exit from the retail consumer marketplace could mean for the 3D printing giant as it enters 2016. Last week, 3D Systems sent an email out to registered customers of, its consumer 3D printing marketplace, announcing that the closing of and the discontinuation of retail 3D printed products, such as jewelry and phone cases.
