In the following video, Jason Moser of Motley Fool One and David Meier of Motley Fool Million Dollar Portfolio sit down to discuss 3D Systems (DDD +1.42%) now that the company has released earnings. While it did miss analysts' lofty growth expectations, which caused a sell-off after earnings were released, the company still delivered a powerhouse quarter, growing its top line by 45%, and nearly doubling printer sales. Our analysts discuss what the major drivers are for this growth, how long it can be expected to continue, and whether this dip in the stock's price represents a buying opportunity.
