HP to outline 3D-printing foray by October n4sa/arkiv/171308 SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Hewlett-Packard Co plans to outline its entry into the 3D-printing business by October, as the computing company seeks to extend its dominance of traditional printers into a fledgling but fast-growing market. Chief Executive Meg Whitman said last week HP would make an announcement in June, now that the company has solved a number of technical problems that have hindered broader adoption of the high-tech manufacturing process.But in a blogpost updated over the weekend, HP said she had inadvertently mis-spoken and that the company was planning instead on making its 3D-printing announcement by the end of the fiscal year, which ends in October.
