I was never fan of 3D Systems corporate style of marketing, but they DOMINATED the CES 2014 with technology! They presented many new products and technologies and started to remove barriers between high end and prosumer 3d printing machines with CubeJet sub 5000$ jet 3d printer.
Kudos to you 3D Systems! and please PLEASE drop this crazy proprietary cartridges scheme. Let user have some freedom. I think most users hate that.
They seem light years ahead of Stratasys-MakerBot team who showed only different sized Replicators.
Here is long detailed video presentation on most of their new products guided by 3D Systems CEO Avi Reichental.
