HP's Meg Whitman Says 3D Printers on the Way From Hewlett Package
We all remember Hewlett Packard's domination in the 2d printing market in the early 2000's. Well it appears that HP is planning on jumping into the 3D print market sooner rather then later. Today during HP's earnings call for the third quarter, Whitman stated the following:
“What we are focusing on is what is value proposition by market segment,” Whitman said. “We have some very interesting things coming. Stay tuned” for something in 2014.

Perhaps an all in one? 2D Printer / 2D Scanner / 3D Printer / 3D Scanner / Fax Machine / Scan to Upload / Print from USB (file) ?

Not surprising at all. I expect all along that they would remain targeting business users. That's where all the money is for a big corporation like HP

Interesting little bit of news here. Looks like HP is trying to hired based around glass 3D printing onto already made objects. Any guesses what this could be?

The time is here, after many many months of waiting for the stated plans of HP to split into two. HP is now HP Inc. and Hewlett Packard Enterprise, or HPE. As two separate, non-competing entities, the companies each have a new lease on life in the world of high-tech and corporate challenges. As HP Inc. focuses on their PC and printer business, as well as entering the world of 3D printing with a splash, the other new entity known as HPE will focus on workplace infrastructures, working to help today’s businesses compete, upping their game as they learn to navigate new business infrastructure for success.

Hmm, well still no actual physical evidence of a hewlett packard printer.
they had a bunch of colourful prints at the tct show - but no indication of how they'd been produced.
Glass printing - could be interesting.

They've been excellent at producing hot air, though, as might be expected considering the political ambitions of their CEO Meg Whitman (who ran unsuccesfully for governor of California) and ex-CEO Carly Fiorina (currently running for president of the USA). "Stay tuned for something in 2014" - or is that 2016?

Personally I have always felt that innovation and competitiveness comes from smaller companies trying to edge in on a market. Whenever a large established company ventures into 3D printing the result is often poor. Think 3D Systems Cube, Makerbot 5th Gen, etc. Large companies also tend to make everything proprietry, again at the expense of the consumer. Not holding my breath with HPs offering...
