Investors are down on 3D printer stocks now amid slowing sales and overhyped expectations. But consumers are still interested in home 3D printers and more companies might enter the market. Today, 3D printers are mainly used by businesses for making fast prototypes, models and one-of-a-kind parts. But many tech companies see opportunities to sell low-cost 3D printers to home hobbyists and students. A recent survey by RBC Capital Markets found a nascent consumer market “with growth expected to accelerate significantly near term.” The most familiar consumer 3D printer brands are MakerBot, a unit of Stratasys (SSYS), and Cube, a product of 3D Systems (DDD), the survey showed. Printers from those companies are the favorites to be purchased by likely buyers, RBC said. Formlabs was the third most popular brand among likely buyers. Scalper1 News
