EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends the Current Report on Form 8-K, dated December 4, 2023, that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 6, 2023 (the “Original Current Report”) by 3D Systems Corporation (the “Company”) concerning the Company’s decision to dismiss BDO USA, P.C. (“BDO”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm following the completion of the audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 by BDO and the issuance of BDO’s reports thereon (the “2023 Audit”).

As previously announced in the Original Current Report, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) of the Company, with the assistance of management, issued a Request for Proposal (“RFP”) regarding the Company’s engagement of an independent registered public accounting firm for the audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. Thereafter, the Audit Committee conducted a comprehensive, competitive RFP process. The Audit Committee invited several firms to participate in this RFP process.

(a) Previous Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On December 4, 2023, the Audit Committee dismissed BDO, its then-current independent registered public accounting firm, effective upon completion of the 2023 Audit. BDO completed the 2023 Audit on August 13, 2024 (the “Dismissal Date”), which thereby terminated BDO’s engagement as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

The audit reports of BDO on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for each of the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

Except as discussed below, during the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and during the subsequent interim period through the Dismissal Date, there were no disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions thereto) between the Company and BDO on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to BDO’s satisfaction, would have caused BDO to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for such fiscal years. During the subsequent interim period through the Dismissal Date, there was a disagreement between the Company and BDO with respect to the Company’s proposed accounting treatment concerning an adjustment to incremental non-reimbursed expenses incurred in connection with a revenue contract. The Audit Committee and BDO discussed the matter prior to the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The disagreement was resolved to the satisfaction of BDO.

During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and during the subsequent interim period through the Dismissal Date, there were no reportable events (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K), other than the two material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that were initially disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and an additional three material weaknesses that were disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. These material weaknesses involved a failure to design or maintain effective controls in response to the risks of material misstatement, including designing and maintaining formal accounting policies, procedures, and controls over significant accounts and disclosures to achieve complete, accurate and timely financial accounting, reporting and disclosures, with respect to: (1) the revenue process, including the review of contract terms input into the Company’s information systems that support the determination of revenue recognition, the accounting for, and the monitoring of the timing of revenue recognition; (2) the financial close, accounting, and reporting processes, as specifically related to management’s review of internally prepared reports and analyses utilized in these processes in reviewing certain financial statement disclosures; (3) the design and implementation of controls over the review of revenue pricing and the

implementation of a related accounting information system; (4) management’s review of the technical accounting treatment for certain technical matters related to certain transactions and financial statement accounts; and (5) the maintenance of an effective control environment; specifically, as it relates to: (a) senior management’s commitment to the control environment principles, and (b) maintaining sufficient qualified resources with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience, and training necessary to support accounting and financial reporting processes and controls. The Company is currently in the process of remediating the material weaknesses.

The Audit Committee discussed these matters with BDO, and the Company has authorized BDO to respond fully to any inquiries of the Company’s successor independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, with respect to these matters.

In accordance with Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, the Company provided BDO with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K/A and requested that BDO furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company herein and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of BDO’s letter, dated August 13, 2024, is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.
