百度跻身科技行业7大增长明星行列

3D系统

    3D打印技术可能给制造业带来一场革命。3D系统公司（3D Systems）的创始人查克•赫尔于1983年发明了全球第一台3D打印机。现在这项技术终于变得普及起来（而且变得非常热门）。只需把数据输入打印机，就可以通过材料的层层叠加（比如塑料或金属等）打印出任何东西，无论是枪械零件、人体器官，还是珠宝首饰都不在话下。

    这家公司的产品既包括家用型的Cube打印机【在史泰博（Staples）售价1300美元】，也包括工业级3D打印机，连通用汽车（General Motors）这种大公司都用后者来生产汽车零部件的原型产品。去年3D系统公司的营收入达到了3.78亿美元，而且它的年增率也高达119%。

    3D printing promises to transform manufacturing. Chuck Hull — who founded 3D Systems(DDD) — created the first 3D printer in 1983. Now the technology is finally becoming more wide spread (and hyped). Data can be inputted into printers that lay down thin layers of material, plastic or metal for instance, to create everything from gun parts to artificial limbs and jewelry.

    The company's products range from the Cube, a personal 3D printer sold at Staples for $1,300 to production printers used by the likes of General Motors to prototype new parts. The company brought in $378 million in revenue over the past year. Not surprisingly, its annual growth rate has been a scorching 119%.
