"Our strategy puts the customer at the center of everything we do," said Vyomesh Joshi, president and chief executive officer, 3D Systems. "Each customer has a specific need - perhaps something that they want to do for mass customization, or they have a complex part that they want to build. Whatever the circumstance, we need to start with the customer and their specific use case. That's the power of really understanding the customer, and knowing what needs to be accomplished."
