ExOne’s management aims to boost the percentage of its revenues from non-machine sales from 56 percent in the last 12 months to 60 percent in the current year. “As ExOne sells more printers, we believe, service contracts, replacement parts and consumables are likely to help generate additional ongoing revenue,” Khan added.

The company is taking various steps, including increasing production service centers, material development initiatives, deployment of an ERP system, reducing debt and deploying working capital to improve its operations.

Khan believes that ExOne’s focus on getting purchase orders by building a “customer-centric mindset’ could enable the company to increase the adoption of its technology.
