All categories rebounded nicely from 2009. The company continued to expand its services division with last week’s acquisition of Quickparts.

For the fourth quarter of 2010, ending December 31, 2010, revenue was $51.6 million, up 42% from a year earlier. Net income was $9.4 million, up 165% from 4Q09.

Full year results

3D Systems pulled out data from one market segment, health care, for special attention. Revenue from health care (across all categories) was $21.6 million in 2010, up 38% from $15.7 million in 2009.

Highlighting the importance of previous 3D Systems acquisitions in the services area, $10.3 million of 2010 services revenue came from businesses acquired in 2010. 3D Systems expects the Quickparts acquisition will immediately contribute to net income in 2011.
