HP enters 3D printing market to postpone

On the 25th, Hewlett-Packard CEO Meg Whitman said at the company's annual meeting last week that the company will eventually enter the 3D printing market in June this year. This news has caused 3D printing stocks to suffer hit. However, what happened later proves that this timetable is still "somewhat abnormal," and that HP may enter the 3D printing market later than Whitman said.

Martin Fink, HP’s chief technology officer and laboratory director, recently stated in the company’s blog post that HP’s plan to launch a 3D printing product is “at the end of the current financial year,” which is October this year. Investors believe that it is too late for HP to enter the 3D printing market, but Whitman told shareholders at the annual meeting that there are still many problems in 3D printing, including slow printing speed and print quality problems. Fink also mentioned Whitman's problems with 3D printing in his post. Fink said: "Ordinary consumers will pay for the price of 3D printing, but they will be disappointed with the print results obtained, because the quality of 3D printing is not worth such a price, and even if it is a simple part of the printing, it will take a few Hours." Some people expect that HP will release relevant news for entering the 3D printing market in June of this year, and the news that HP enters this kind of new field probably needs to wait until this autumn.
