STOXX launched a Global 3D Printing Tradable Index in April. The index was launched with 10 holdings, and will totally represent 30 companies that generate revenues directly from the 3D printing sector. The new Stoxx Global 3D Printing Pure Play Index will have also 30 constituents but it is designed for bigger companies - so only nine company is qualitied for included in the new index.

- Companies must have a minimum three-month average daily trading volume (ADTV) of 25,000 Euro
- A minimum free-float market capitalization of 10 million Euro
Companies are then ranked by revenues derived from the 3D printing sector and the top 30 companies are selected for inclusion in the index.
The STOXX Global 3D Printing Pure Play Index is weighted by free-float market capitalization and component weighting is capped at 20 percent.
For comparison, here are a set of screens companies must pass for being included in the STOXX Global 3D Printing Tradable Index:
- More than one percent of their revenues must be generated from the 3D printing sector
- Companies must have a minimum three-month average daily trading volume (ADTV) of 250,000 Euro
- A minimum free-float market capitalization of 80 million Euro
Furthermore, they must be listed in a country that is classified as a developed market according to STOXX's country classification model. Currently, the index includes 10 companies that passed all screens, and five of them are disclosed, they are:
1. Dassault Systems - France
2. 3D Systems - US
3. Stratasys - US
4. Proto Labs - US
5. Greatbatch Inc. - US
