TKSTF - 3 Canadian 3D Printing Stocks
When thinking about 3D printing companies, big-name players such as 3D Systems (NYSE: DDD ), Proto Labs (NYSE: PRLB ) and Stratasys (NASDAQ: SSYS ) are often the first that come to mind.
The American 3D printing market is advanced, and those three companies are major players, with a combined market cap of US$7.7 billion.
But 3D printing isn’t only happening in the US — the global 3D printing sector is projected to reach US$62.79 billion by 2028, a states a report by Grand View Research . In Canada, a handful of smaller 3D printing companies making a name for themselves in the country’s emerging 3D printing industry.
