3D Systems Achieves Full-Scope EU MDR Certification, Accelerating European Launch of NextDent® Jetted Denture Solution Targeted for Summer 2026

3D Systems (NYSE: DDD) today announced it has received full-scope certification under the European Union Medical Device Regulation (EU MDR) 2017/745. The certification was attained on Monday, March 16, 2026.

This milestone confirms that the Company’s quality system, technical documentation, and clinical evidence meet the most rigorous regulatory requirements in the medical device sector. With the MDR certificate in hand, 3D Systems will now introduce MDR-compliant product versions through a carefully coordinated, phased rollout across its dental product families and European markets. This approach ensures a smooth transition while maintaining uninterrupted product availability for customers and healthcare providers.

The EU MDR certification immediately enables the introduction of innovative new materials and is a pivotal step for one of 3D Systems’ largest potential new product launches: the NextDent® Jetted Denture Solution. This solution forms the cornerstone of the Company’s ‘replacement’ offering within its comprehensive digital dentistry strategy, which spans applications for straightening, protection, repair, and full replacement of teeth.

Building on the successful U.S. commercial launch in 2025, this European rollout positions 3D Systems to capture additional share in a substantial global opportunity. According to the Company’s internal estimates, applications for the ‘replacement’ pillar of its dental strategy represent an addressable market of approximately $600 million in the United States alone by 2029, with the U.S. comprising roughly one-third of the total global market. The market in the EU is estimated to be comparable, or even slightly larger in scale than that of the U.S., based on Company analysis and demographic trends. As highlighted by President and CEO, Dr. Jeffrey Graves, during the Company’s Q4 2025 earnings call on March 9, 2026, approximately 32 million people in the United States wear dentures, roughly 10% of the population, and globally more than 180 million people wear dentures, driving annual production of approximately 13.7 million denture sets. Management further noted that 3D Systems’ materials alone represent a potential annual recurring revenue opportunity of more than $400 million globally over time, as digital manufacturing adoption accelerates.

The European launch of NextDent Jetted Dentures remains firmly on track for summer 2026.

3D Systems has long held a leadership position in digital dentistry, particularly in orthodontic aligner production.

Through its longstanding partnership with major industry players and the deployment of application specific high-volume manufacturing stereolithography (SLA) technology, the Company’s solutions enable the manufacture of approximately one million patient-specific clear aligners daily worldwide, establishing it as a key enabler in the straightening segment of the market.

This leadership builds on the 2017 acquisition of Vertex Global Holding B.V., which brought together Vertex Dental’s decades-long legacy in high-quality prosthetic dental materials (dating back to its founding in 1939) with NextDent’s pioneering biocompatible 3D printing resins. NextDent, originally launched in 2012 to advance materials for emerging 3D printing innovations in dentistry, has since developed one of the industry’s broadest portfolios of clinically validated, regulatory-approved materials, addressing applications from models and surgical guides to splints, crowns, bridges, and dentures. The integration of these advanced Vertex and NextDent materials with 3D Systems’ printing platforms has driven transformative efficiency, precision, and cost reductions across dental workflows.

“Receiving full-scope EU MDR certification validates our commitment to the highest standards of quality and patient safety while unlocking significant new growth opportunities across the European dental market,” said Jeffrey Graves, President and Chief Executive Officer of 3D Systems. “Building on our established dominance in high-volume aligner production and the industry-leading NextDent materials portfolio from our Vertex acquisition, the NextDent Jetted Denture Solution represents a transformative advancement in delivering monolithic, multi-material prosthetics with superior aesthetics, durability, and production efficiency using our MultiJet Printing technology. With strong early traction in the U.S. and the substantial addressable market we outlined in our recent earnings call, this launch accelerates momentum in our dental business, one of our most significant growth initiatives, and reinforces its role as a key driver of long-term shareholder value. We are excited about these accomplishments and the substantial business opportunities they generate.”

Powered by the NextDent 300 MultiJet 3D printer and specialized NextDent Jet Base and Teeth materials, the solution enables dental labs to produce durable, aesthetically superior, one-piece dentures far faster and more cost-effectively than traditional analog methods. This delivers both outstanding patient outcomes and strong return on investment for labs and clinicians.

This regulatory achievement further solidifies 3D Systems’ leadership position in digital dentistry and supports the Company’s broader strategic initiatives to expand in high-value healthcare applications.

HGS Brings Certainty to AI‑Led Transformation With Intelligent Experience

HGS (listed on BSE & NSE), a global provider of technology, AI, and business services, today unveiled its Intelligent Experience positioning, marking a bold step forward in how enterprises approach AI‑driven transformation. Backed by a 90-day ROIX (Return on Intelligent Experiences) commitment, HGS is putting a guarantee behind outcomes, shifting the conversation from aspiration to certainty. The refreshed brand identity reflects this evolution, reinforcing HGS’s focus on users, disciplined execution, and results enterprises can confidently stand behind.

Industry research shows 95% of generative AI projects fail to deliver ROI. Majority AI projects stall in the pilot phase. HGS seeks to solve exactly this problem.

The new positioning anchors HGS around Intelligent Experience – designing smarter ways of working by embedding intelligence directly into the workflows that matter most. Clients are increasingly looking to HGS to not only operate more efficiently, but to rethink how work gets done, by simplifying complexity, improving workflows, and delivering outcomes at scale. HGS’s mission reflects this shift, bringing together applied AI, data, automation, and human judgment to deliver results that are practical, measurable, and repeatable.

“What sets companies apart today is AI execution. Our move toward Intelligent Experience is about turning intent into performance. We’re focused on helping clients move beyond pilots and experiments to outcomes that hold up in the real world, with speed, discipline, and confidence,” said Venkatesh Korla, Global CEO of HGS. “This is not a reset for HGS, but a step ahead. We’re building on the legacy created over five decades, while sharpening how we deliver value in a world where certainty matters more than ever.”

While investment in AI continues to grow, many initiatives stall at the pilot stage or fail to deliver sustained value. HGS’s approach called Realized AI is a methodology that treats intelligence as an operational capability, not a theoretical exercise. Every engagement is anchored by a 90-day proof-of-value commitment: shared accountability, defined metrics, and demonstrated ROI before the relationship scales. This means no pilots without a plan… No transformation without a guarantee.

Tori Faulkenberry, SVP at Astound Broadband, said, “HGS isn’t selling AI potential, they listened to our needs and showed us results. That’s what changed how we think about this partnership.”

HGS has also introduced a refreshed brand identity that is modern, confident, and human at its core. The new logo features a fingerprint motif, symbolizing individuality, trust, and the personal connections HGS builds every day with clients, customers, and employees. The fingerprint isn’t just a logo, it reflects a core philosophy that intelligence is profoundly human by design… A brand evolution rooted in HGS’s operational DNA.

“Everyone in the AI, technology services and BPO markets is promising transformation, almost no one is guaranteeing it today. This rebrand exists to end that ambiguity for HGS. Intelligent Experience is a deliberate stake in the ground. We are not here to be everything to everyone, we’re here for organizations that are done being impressed by demos and ready to be measured by outcomes,” said Andrew Kokes, Chief Marketing Officer, HGS.

New Rithum Report Finds 58% of Shoppers Lose Trust in the Brand When LLMs Provide Wrong Information

Rithum today released a new research report, The New Discovery Engine, based on a consumer survey examining how shoppers are using LLMs and how AI search is influencing their behavior. The survey of 1,046 online shoppers across the U.S. and U.K. finds that while AI is becoming a common tool for product discovery, errors in AI-generated recommendations can directly impact brand trust. Nearly six in ten shoppers (58%) say they blame the retailer or brand when an AI recommendation contains incorrect product information, and 16% say they would avoid purchasing the product entirely after a bad recommendation.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260325528564/en/

Using AI for shopping is already widespread. According to the report, 70% of respondents have used an AI tool for shopping-related activities in the past three months, and 36% say they regularly use AI to discover new brands or products, with 43% comparing more options as a direct result of using AI. However, the technology is still primarily used during the research stage rather than the transaction itself, with fewer than 15% of shoppers reporting they have completed a purchase directly through an AI tool.

“AI is making consumer trust a product data problem. As agentic commerce becomes the baseline for how shoppers research and evaluate products, brands need to think more strategically about how their product information appears across their entire commerce ecosystem,” said Sam Griffin, VP, Strategy and Engagement at Rithum. “Accurate, consistent product data will play a major role in how brands are discovered by AI and trusted by consumers in agentic shopping experiences.”

Other key findings from the report include:

AI is helping small brands beat out household names

• 1 in 5 shoppers have purchased from a brand they’d never previously heard of, because AI recommended it.
• Over 90% of AI-active shoppers use the tools to research products or compare options.
• 64% of 18 – 27 year olds buy based on an AI recommendation without verifying it anywhere else.
• 13% say they’re more likely to switch retailers or products based on AI suggestions.

Price accuracy matters most in AI recommendations

• 67% of shoppers say price is the most important factor AI must get right when recommending products, while product reviews (35%) and availability (34%) rank behind price in importance.
• 44% say AI tools most need to improve accuracy for product details like price and availability.

Shoppers still verify AI recommendations elsewhere

• The verification window is nearly nonexistent as only 5% go directly to retailer or brand websites to verify product information — showing that by the time a shopper reaches an owned channel, they’re already forming decisions.
• 28% of shoppers turn to search engines first to verify AI recommendations.
• Friends and family (17%) and prior experience with a product (17%) also are common verification sources.

As AI tools become a more prominent part of the shopping journey, Rithum’s research highlights the growing importance of accurate, consistent product data across the commerce ecosystem. Brands that reliably maintain pricing, availability, and product details across channels will be better positioned to build trust and remain competitive as AI-driven discovery continues to evolve.

Check out Rithum’s report, The New Discovery Engine, here: http://www.rithum.com//resources/agentic-commerce-report

Methodology

The findings are based on a survey of 1,046 online shoppers in the U.S. and U.K. conducted by Rithum and Studio’s Retail Dive. Respondents were evenly distributed across age groups, including 18–27 (25%), 28–43 (26%), 44–59 (25%), and 60 or older (24%).

GasEntec Welcomes Manoj Narender Madnani as President

GasEntec, the global modular LNG technology and infrastructure platform, today announced the appointment of Manoj Narender Madnani as President.

Madnani will oversee global strategy, sovereign partnerships, and capital formation as GasEntec expands its technology-led LNG platform across high-growth markets in the Gulf, India, Southeast Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas.

GasEntec delivers modular LNG regasification and floating terminal solutions designed to accelerate deployment timelines and support energy security in markets requiring reliable, flexible baseload capacity. As digital infrastructure expands, industrial demand rises, and electrification accelerates, power systems globally are experiencing increasing structural pressure.

“Manoj brings deep experience across cross-border energy infrastructure, capital markets, and sovereign engagement,” said Chong-ho Kwak, Executive Chairman of GasEntec. “His leadership strengthens our ability to scale responsibly and positions GasEntec for long-term growth.”

Madnani has more than three decades of experience across the global energy value chain. Most recently, he served as Managing Director, International at MARA, where he supported energy and digital infrastructure initiatives across the Global South. He previously spent nearly a decade with Kulczyk Investments, leading cross-border energy and infrastructure transactions across Europe, Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East.

“Power availability is often described as the global constraint, but the deeper challenge is infrastructure,” said Madnani. “As digital infrastructure expands from data centres to hyperscale compute alongside industrial growth and rising living standards, demand for reliable energy is increasing everywhere. Around the globe nations are investing heavily in energy security while working to ensure energy poverty does not persist. Yet the real bottleneck increasingly lies in LNG infrastructure: regasification capacity, storage, shipping access, and diversified supply routes. When disruptions occur, that is when exposure becomes visible. GasEntec’s role is to deploy resilient infrastructure ahead of those moments.”

Founded in South Korea, GasEntec has delivered LNG infrastructure projects across Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas, serving sovereign, utility, and industrial clients.

About GasEntec

GasEntec is an energy technology platform delivering fast, modular LNG infrastructure essential to meet accelerating global demand for digital infrastructure, AI expansion, flexible baseload fuels, and sovereign energy security.

Its dual-engine model combines a technology business built on credentialed modular LNG intellectual property with a scalable asset platform that sells, leases, or charters integrated LNG solutions.

GasEntec’s modular floating and onshore LNG systems enable rapid, scalable deployment of downstream LNG infrastructure, providing clients with integrated solutions to distribute LNG to and within critical markets.

Founded in 2006 in South Korea, GasEntec has become a key provider of modular LNG infrastructure and equipment supporting global LNG logistics and regasification.

payabl. Launches Tap to Pay, Helping More Merchants Accept Payments on the Move

Leading European financial technology provider payabl. has launched Tap to pay, allowing businesses to accept contactless card payments directly from their smartphones without the need for dedicated card terminal hardware.

The SoftPOS solution enables payabl. merchants to turn their NFC-enabled Android devices into fully secure payment terminals. Designed with micro and SME businesses in mind, merchants can immediately start using their existing mobile device to accept payments anywhere and anytime – whether that is at events, temporary retail locations or on the move, including delivery services and drivers.

Commenting on the launch, payabl. Group CEO, Ugne Buraciene, said: “Payments should adapt to the way merchants operate, not the other way around. Tap to pay gives businesses a simple way to accept in-person payments using the devices they already rely on every day, whether that’s in-store or out on the move. Combined with payabl.one, merchants can see and manage both online and in-store transactions in one place, giving them clearer visibility and control over their money flow.”

After downloading the Tap to pay app and activating it, businesses can begin accepting in-person payments immediately, removing the need to purchase or wait for the delivery of traditional payment hardware.

The solution also supports PIN entry and e-receipts for customers, and covers all transaction types, including sales, refunds, reversals and tips.

Through integration with payabl.one, merchants can manage all online and in-person payments from a single platform, with one view of transactions, payouts, and settlement status, making reconciliation and performance tracking easier.

Early adopters are already seeing impact. Nafais, a retail fragrance store, went live with Tap to pay in just a few days ahead of launch, avoiding disruption to opening and ensuring it could accept card payments from day one.

“The Tap to pay solution was set up within just a couple of days. The process was simple and smooth. Now we can focus more on helping customers rather than worrying about payments,” said Nikos Panagiotou, Director at Nafais.

Since going live, 65% of Nafais’ transactions are processed digitally, supporting faster checkout and a smoother in-store experience.

Contactless payments continue to accelerate

The launch comes as contactless payments continue to dominate transactions across the UK and Europe. This month, the current £100 contactless spending cap was scrapped, allowing individual banks and card providers to set their own limits – a move expected to further increase the use of contactless payments.

UK consumer behaviour is already shifting rapidly toward contactless methods. Data shows that 94.6% of all in-store card payments under £100 were made using contactless technology.

The trend is also apparent across Europe. payabl.’s State of the European Checkout report found that 41% of European consumers prefer paying in person by contactless debit or credit card, while 21% favour mobile wallets such as Apple Pay or Google Pay, highlighting the growing demand for fast and flexible payment options.

Breno Oliveira, Chief Product Officer at payabl., said: “Micro and small businesses need the flexibility to accept payments wherever their customers are, whether that’s markets, pop-up events, or on the move, especially for delivery services and drivers.

Tap to pay by payabl. removes the need for additional hardware and turns the mobile phones merchants already carry into secure payment terminals. For businesses that operate beyond a fixed location, it means faster setup and fewer operational barriers.”

Tap to pay by payabl. is available now on Android devices, with iOS support expected later this year.

About payabl.

payabl. is a financial technology provider offering payments and business accounts for businesses of all sizes, enabling companies to accept online and in-person payments, manage multi-currency business accounts, issue virtual and physical cards, and access over 300 local and alternative payment methods.

Data Accessibility Failures Leave Equipment Idle 50% of the Time, New Teletrac Navman Report Finds

New research from Teletrac Navman, a leading connected mobility platform and a Vontier company, found that 74% of operators cite data accessibility as the largest barrier to improving equipment utilisation, resulting in assets frequently being unused 50% of the time.

The ‘Mobilizing the Future of Fleets: 2026 Equipment Utilisation Edition’ has uncovered a striking gap between digital adoption and digital maturity; 87% of fleets have invested in digital technology to monitor utilisation but are not leveraging it, with 75% still relying on manual logs either as a primary tracking method or alongside digital systems, despite a recognised risk of inaccuracy and poor data quality when compared to real-time data.

The research also uncovered that less than a third (28%) have a fully implemented digital tracking system, which suggests that while businesses recognise the strategic value of digital utilisation technology, many have yet to realise its full operational potential.

Alain Samaha, Chief Executive Officer, Teletrac Navman said: “The role of telematics is rapidly evolving across our industry. Digital technology adoption across equipment fleets is widespread, but adoption alone is no longer the end goal – it’s integration. The challenge has evolved from simply collecting data to embedding it into everyday operations in a coordinated and efficient way.”

A significant number of surveyed fleet operators (87%) believe that improved location intelligence would enhance their equipment utilisation, confirming real-time visibility and integrated data across systems are crucial to achieving a more proactive and efficient equipment fleet operation. Accurate, real-time performance monitoring plays a critical role in identifying inefficient usage patterns, reinforcing the importance of data-driven operations and enabling more proactive asset management and scheduling decisions.

Teletrac Navman’s research identified equipment maintenance as a key operational challenge, with almost a third of respondents (32%) citing maintenance requirements as frequent disruptors to project timelines. In order to minimize impact on productivity, 27% of organisations report that they frequently rent or purchase additional equipment to compensate for unavailable assets, highlighting the extent to which maintenance-related downtime can drive reactive capacity decisions.

Further to this, the report uncovered that equipment hoarding is widespread across fleet operations, with two thirds (67%) of organisations reporting that assets are sometimes held onsite but unused – behaviour driven primarily by maintenance and scheduling uncertainty.

“Reactive maintenance drives up operating costs,” continued Samaha. “Equipment hoarding may ease short-term operational concerns, but it increases idle capital, reduces asset availability and often results in unnecessary rental or procurement activity.”

“This report demonstrates the need for an integrated utilisation monitoring system, a single pane of glass that enables managers to make data-driven decisions, optimise operations and increase profitability.”

Capitolis Named to Fortune’s America’s Most Innovative Companies 2026 List

Capitolis, the financial technology company, has been named among Fortune’s America’s Most Innovative Companies in 2026. This prestigious award is presented by Fortune and Statista Inc., the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider.

The America’s Most Innovative Companies 2026 ranking is based on three core pillars: product innovation, process innovation, and innovation culture. To assess innovation culture and internal perspectives on process innovation, Statista conducted online surveys allowing employees to evaluate their own organizations. External perspectives on process innovation and product innovation were gathered through surveys of industry experts, including recruiters, management consultants, and patent attorneys. To evaluate intellectual property portfolios, Statista partnered with LexisNexis^® Intellectual Property Solutions, using its platform to analyze both the quantity and value of company patents. The 300 U.S. companies with the highest overall scores were included in the final ranking.

“We are honored to be recognized by Fortune as one of America’s Most Innovative Companies,” said Gil Mandelzis, CEO & Founder of Capitolis. “This award reflects the strength of our team and our commitment to partner closely with the industry to deliver innovative technology solutions that promote the safety and vitality of the financial markets.”

This recognition comes amid continued momentum for Capitolis, fueled by sustained platform growth, expanded product offerings, deeper client engagement, and the addition of several senior industry leaders to its management team.
