    3D printer makers Stratasys (SSYS +4.4%) and 3D Systems (DDD +4.2%) are closing the week with solid gains, even though JPMorgan launched coverage on Stratasys with a Neutral and $86.50 PT. Nokia's 3D printing announcement could be stoking investor enthusiasm ... or we might just be seeing some end-of-the-week short-covering. 42.1% of 3D's float, and 9.1% of Stratasys' float, was shorted as of Dec. 31.

    I am an 60% income oriented investor, 40% value trader. I founded and grew my own electronic distribution company. Now retired.
    Can you explain to me why DDD has a 42% float short and SSYS only 9%?

    It could be that (DDD) is targeting the consumer market. (SSYS) has the manufacturing, which fluctuates less.

    What is the chance that DDD & SSYS will become as one??

    Is it possible that DDD is just a nice bubble? What kind of home 3D printing are we talking about? Will there be a trend to print again things - even in 3D formats? At least with SSYS we may understand their industrial business. Here's possible one reason for the short floats difference.
