Mais uma tareia nas 3D hoje.

Organovo -16,5%
TheExone - 8.9%
Stratasys -4%
3d Systems -7.9%

Ainda assim, todas acima de 100% de valorização em 2013, excepto a Stratasys (50%).
Tal como aconteceu na Tesla, também no 3D se está a voltar um pouco á realidade.

Uma particularidade destes 4 títulos, é que regra geral tinham melhor desempenho em dias que o Nasdaq ficava negativo.
Depois das quedas ainda mais acentuadas de ontem, que surgiram após súbidas estrondosas nos últimos meses, o sentimento que tinha em relação à Organovo estende-se ás outras 3.

Para mim, os preços terão de cair ainda mais para ponderar a recompra das posições alienadas (50% de cada).

Quando criei a minha "Carteira 3D" tinha expectativas de valorização bastante ambiciosas, para um prazo não inferior a 2 anos. A Organovo em apenas alguns meses excedeu essas expectativas.
Por esse motivo decidi alienar 50% da posição na Organovo.

Decidi colocar este post apenas porque tenho mostrado grande entusiasmo pela Organovo, e queria oficializar a minha passagem de entusiasmado para cauteloso

Está a descer 30% hoje!!!!
As outras de 3D também estão a descer bem, mas nada que chegue aos 2 digitos! Bela tareia

Além de armas isto provavelmente consegue produzir moedas que não passariam em circulação normal mas que, se calhar, são aceites em máquinas de venda, não ?

Há 30 anos as máquinas automáticas na Alemanha (cabinas telefónicas, máquinas de chocolates, máquinas de bilhetes para metro e comboio) funcionavam com marcos, acontece que as moedas de meio marco (cerca de 40 escudos) eram muito semelhantes às nossas de 2$50 que valiam cerca de 16 vezes menos. Já nessa altura havia muitos tugas que tinham conhecimento da situação e que, sempre que iam à Alemanha, tratavam de ir previamente ao banco cá em tugaland, para arranjar trocos

A partir de 1986 ou 1987, um número crescente de máquinas naquele país passou a não aceitar moedas de meio marco, porque seria?

Se fumasse era caso para considerar

Este especuladores pensam mesmo em tudo, ainda por cima sempre maligno. Já a tenta facturar com "gaps" do sistema sr. AutoMech?? Olha que uma impressora destas só custa 1000 e poucos euros...

A Sub-$1,000 3D Printer for Metal

[h_machado]

Dos 4 títulos de empresas com 100% Revenue de 3d Prining (Organovo, 3DSystems, Stratasys e TheExone), apesar de estarem todos com excelentes valorizações, a Organovo destaca-se.

Quando criei a minha "Carteira 3D" tinha expectativas de valorização bastante ambiciosas, para um prazo não inferior a 2 anos. A Organovo em apenas alguns meses excedeu essas expectativas.
Por esse motivo decidi alienar 50% da posição na Organovo.

É uma empresa com tremendo potencial, mas que ainda vai demorar uns bons tempos a capitalizar a sua tecnologia, por enquanto precisam é de mais $ para continuar a pesquisar.
Talvez tenha oportunidade de reforçar daqui a uns tempos por um valor inferior, talvez continue a subir a este ritmo alucinante e me arrependa da venda, mas pelo menos ficam as mais valias garantidas.

Microsoft releases First 3D Printing App '3D Builder' for Windows 8.1

Interessante noticia esta. Aproveita para salientar estes dois excertos.

The important difference is that it's much harder for the government to regulate guns you print at home. And it's actually legal for anyone to create a gun by themselves.
Also, since they're made of metal, they're more powerful, but they will set off a metal detector while a 3D-printed gun made of plastic likely won't.

MakerBot Academy aims to put 3D printer in every U.S. school

Nov.12, 2013

Brooklyn-based 3D-printer company Makerbot is leading a charge to crowd source 3D printers for every school in America.

This initiative - Makerbot Academy - is a unique partnership between MakerBot, DonorsChoose.org, America Makes, and Autodesk, and was a response to a call to action by the President of the United States.

"MakerBot Academy is a big thing. It is epic. There are around 100,000 schools in the USA and we want those students to be ready for the future," wrote Bre Pettis, CEO of MakerBot in a blog post.

Beginning November 12, 2013, anyone or any companies interested in this project can donate at the online charity site DonorsChoose.org, a crowd funding site just for teachers. You can pledge to financially support the program, choosing which schools you want to fund. One MakerBot Academy bundle costs around $2,350.

Pettis has personally pledged to put a MakerBot Replicator 2 Desktop 3D Printer in public high schools in MakerBot's hometown of Brooklyn, N.Y. In addition, Ralph Crump, original inventor of FDM 3D printing technology and founder of Stratasys, has pledged to match Pettis's donation.

Pettis encourages everyone to join MakerBot in this effort at an individual or corporate level to help move America's students to the forefront of technology and global competitiveness.

"We need to encourage our teachers and our youth to think differently about manufacturing and innovation." adds Pettis.

Each MakerBot Academy bundle contains a MakerBot Replicator 2 Desktop 3D Printer, three spools of MakerBot PLA Filament, and a full year of the MakerBot MakerCare Service and Protection Plan. MakerBot will also support the teachers with the development of ongoing 3D printing curriculum that teachers can participate in and utilize in the classroom. MakerBot will leverage Autodesk's software and educator curriculum as well. When making their request, teachers will need to explain what they want to do in their classroom with the device.

MakerBot is also launching a week-long MakerBot Thingiverse Math Manipulatives Challenge, from November 12 through 18, 2013, asking its members to quickly develop a variety of different math manipulative 3D designs that can then be available immediately to teachers that receive the MakerBot Academy3D printing package.

Apesar de já ter falado algumas vezes dela, tenho de mencionar mais uma vez:

Organovo (ONVO:xase

Foi hoje a divulgação de resultados, e só entre ontem e hoje já subiu cerca de 25%.
Desde o inicio do ano já vão 400%

Fica o boneco rudimentar, se alguem quiser colocar um melhorzinho tanto melhor.

Daqui a pouco está toda a gente a fazer arsenais em casa...

Essas impressoras de metal ainda devem ser muito caras.
A 3D Systems vende mas só por encomenda e o preço só é divulgado após explicarmos qual a finalidade da compra (apenas para empresas).

Mas sim, diria que é uma questão de tempo para as armas ficarem mais acessiveis

Tiny 3D-printed human liver can survive for up to 40 Days

Nov.9, 2013

San Diego medical research company Organovo announced it has created slices of functioning, long-lasting human liver which can survive for 40 days - using a 3D printer.

The 3D printer builds up 20 layers of hepatocytes cells, which carry out liver functions, and along with endothelial cells found in nature which form the liver's architectural support. It also adds cells from the lining of a blood vessel to allow the liver cells to receive nutrients and oxygen.

3D Systems Q3 revenue grows by 50% on higher printer sales

3D Systems Corp announced today that its third quarter revenue grew 50% from the prior year to $135.7 million.

Compared to 2012 quarter:

-- 3D printers and other products revenue increased 76% to $59.8 million.

-- Print materials revenue grew 30% to $33.2 million.

-- Services revenue rose 38% to $42.7 million.

-- Healthcare revenue grew 39% and contributed $16.9 million to total revenue.

-- Consumer solutions contributed $13.5 million to total revenue.

Net income attributable to the company rose to $17.7 million, or 17 cents per share, in the three months to Sept. 30, from $13.5 million, or 16 cents per share, a year earlier.

For the nine months 2013, revenue grew 42% to $358.6 million, on an 81% increase in printers and other products revenue and 27% organic growth, resulting in GAAP earnings of $0.34 per share and non-GAAP earnings of $0.66 per share. Gross profit increased 46% and gross profit margin expanded 120 basis points to 52.3%.

To accelerate its growth rate, the company decided to further increase its R&D, marketing and retail field operations spending in connection with specific, near-term, new product introductions and retail channel expansion. Significant marketplace interest in its recently acquired Phenix direct metals 3D printers also compelled the company to accelerate new products development and capacity investments. As a result, the company updated its annual guidance for the full year 2013, increasing its revenue guidance to be in the range of $500 million to $530 million and, consistent with the step up in discretionary spending, reducing its non-GAAP earnings per share guidance to be in the range of $0.93 to $1.03.

3D Systems also announced it is investing $10 million to expand its Rock Hill, SC, manufacturing operations generating 145 new jobs.

A HPQ chegou a comercializar uma impressora 3D quando era parceira da Stratasys. Quando se separaram (recentemente) deixaram de ter qualquer oferta 3D.
A Stratasys pode tornar-se a próxima HP, ou pode perder força caso o fim das patentes seja um factor relevante.
Stratasys já tinha em carteira há mais tempo, e ainda me faltavam 3 titulos para compor a carteira (agora faltam 2).

Analisando bem a coisa, a HPQ só se enquadraria nesta carteira se apostasse forte na comercialização 3D em 2014.
É especulativo demais, possivelmente se encontrar mais títulos que me agradem poderei retirar a HPQ.

HP to enter 3D printing market in mid-2014

HP is working on developing 3D printing technology, announced HP CEO Meg Whitman at the Canalys Channels Forum in Bangkok. HP plans to enter the 3D printer market in the middle of 2014, said Whitman.

"We are excited about 3D printing,"Whitman said, "We want to lead this business. HP Labs is looking at it."

It seems pretty nature for HP to enter the 3D printing market. HP first ventured into the 3D printing space through a early partnership with Stratasys, which was created in 2010 to produce HP-branded 3D printers. The partnership ended in 2012. but HP's R&D team continues to explore the many possibilities of 3D printing.

As part of its ongoing RAGNAROK (Research on Advancing Glass & Non-organic Applications to Recreate Objects & Kinetics) project in 2012, HP Labs is looking at glass as a potential candidate for use in 3D printing. HP's paper says, "glass is easy to recycle and environmentally friendly. Glass is inexpensive but looks precious; it's pleasant to the touch and is so familiar that customers won't be disappointed by its fragility." Print transparent glass is still the challenge for current 3D printers and HP has been exploring the use of glass and several possible ways of printing it.

Whitman said HP's main focus in its 3D printing research would be the time and cost required to print. "To print a bottle can take eight to ten hours. That's all very interesting, but it is like watching ice melt," she said, "[HP is asking:] 'How do we commercialise to print faster, at lower price points? to enable service providers?"

Whitman added that she does not expect 3D printing to become a big business very quickly. "3D printing is in its infancy.""These businesses go along, get a little traction, go along, get a little more traction, then hit the knee of the curve." Whitman expects 3D printing to reach its inflection point in three years.

No further details about what kind of 3D printing product HP is developing were revealed, but Whitman said it will be a "new technology". And this new technology will be shown off in mid-2014.
