Production revenue exceeded expectations in the first quarter, with significant customer engagement in expanded production capabilities.

Negative

First quarter revenue was down slightly versus the prior year due to macroeconomic headwinds and manufacturing contraction.

3D printing revenue was down 6% year over year as order trends lagged expectations.
Non-gap operating expenses increased by $3.6 million sequentially, driven by higher incentive compensation and additional investments in demand generation.
