According to the report, Stratasys shipped 34% of all RP units worldwide in 2005 and 46% of all RP units shipped by US manufacturers in 2005.
The report also states that as of the end of 2005, Stratasys has the highest global installed base of RP systems.
The report indicates that revenue generated from the sale of 3D printers grew by 35% to $100 million in 2005, versus $74 million in 2004.
The report estimated that 15,000 3D printers could be sold annually by the year 2010, compared with 2528 3D printers sold in 2005.
"We are pleased that our company maintained its leadership position within the RP industry during 2005", said Scott Crump, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Stratasys.
