The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to interim reports. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (“Form 10-K”).  In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of adjustments of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30 , 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions.  Certain prior period amounts presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.  All amounts presented in the accompanying footnotes are presented in thousands, except for per share information.  Recent Accounting Pronouncements  No new accounting pronouncements, issued or effective during the second quarter of 2016, have had or are expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Hedging Activities And Financial Instruments [Abstract]
Hedging Activities And Financial Instruments	(6) Hedging Activities and Financial Instruments  The Company conducts business in various countries using both the functional currencies of those countries and other currencies to effect cross border transactions. As a result, the Company is subject to the risk that fluctuations in foreign exchange rates between the dates that those transactions are entered into and their respective settlement dates will result in a foreign exchange gain or loss. When practicable, the Company endeavors to match assets and liabilities in the same currency on its balance sheet and those of its subsidiaries in order to reduce these risks. When appropriate, the Company enters into foreign currency contracts to hedge exposures arising from those transactions. The Company has elected not to prepare and maintain the documentation to qualify for hedge accounting treatment under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815, “ Derivatives and Hedging ,” and therefore, all gains and losses (realized or unrealized) are recognized in “Interest and other expense, net” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Depending on their fair value at the end of the reporting period, derivatives are recorded either in prepaid expenses and other current assets or in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.  There were no foreign currency contracts outstanding as of June 30, 2016 or December 31, 2015.  For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016, the condensed consolidated statements of operations includes a foreign currency transaction loss of $55 and a gain of $ 1,463 , respectively, compared to a gain of $428 and a loss of $1,767 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.  For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016, the total impact of foreign currency translation on accumulated other comprehensive loss reflects a loss of $6,611 and a gain of $ 1,239 , respectively, compared to a gain of $14,592 and a loss of $6,240 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.

Borrowings [Abstract]
Borrowings	(7) Borrowings  Credit Facility  On October 10, 2014 , the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a $150,000 five -year revolving, unsecured credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) with PNC Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, PNC Capital Markets LLC, as Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Bookrunner, HSBC Bank USA, N.A., as Syndication Agent, and the other lenders party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”). The Credit Agreement comprises a revolving loan facility that provides for advances in the initial aggregate principal amount of up to $150,000 (the “Credit Facility”). Subject to certain terms and conditions contained in the Credit Agreement, the Company may, at its option, request an increase in the aggregate principal amount available under the Credit Facility by an additional $75,000 . The Credit Agreement includes provisions for the issuance of letters of credit and swingline loans.  The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by certain of the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”). From time to time, the Company may be required to cause additional material domestic subsidiaries to become Guarantors under the Credit Agreement.  Generally, amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either the Base Rate or the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”), in each case, plus an applicable margin. Base Rate advances bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the highest of (A) the Administrative Agent’s prime rate, (B) the Federal Funds Open Rate plus 0.5% or (C) the Daily LIBOR Rate for a one month interest period plus 1% , and (ii) an applicable margin that ranges from 0.25% to 0.50% based upon the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio. LIBOR Rate advances bear interest at a rate based upon the LIBOR Rate for the applicable interest period, plus an applicable margin that ranges from 1.25% to 1.50% based upon the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, (i) accrued interest on each loan bearing interest at the Base Rate is payable quarterly in arrears and (ii) accrued interest on each loan bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate is payable in arrears on the earlier of (A) quarterly and (B) the last day of each applicable interest payment date for each loan. The Credit Facility is scheduled to mature on October 10, 2019 , at which time all amounts outstanding thereunder will be due and payable. The Company is required to pay certain fees in connection with the Credit Facility, including a quarterly commitment fee equal to the product of the amount of the average daily available revolving commitments under the Credit Agreement multiplied by a percentage that ranges from 0.20% to 0.25% depending upon the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio, as well as customary administrative fees.  The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and default provisions for a Credit Facility of this type, including, but not limited to, financial covenants, limitations on liens and the incurrence of debt, covenants to preserve corporate existence and comply with laws and covenants regarding the use of proceeds of the Credit Facility. The financial covenants include a maximum consolidated total leverage ratio, which is the ratio of consolidated total funded indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense), as defined in the Credit Agreement, of 3.00 to 1.00, and a minimum interest coverage ratio, which is the ratio of consolidated EBITDA to cash interest expense, of 3.50 to 1.00. The Company is only required to be in compliance with the financial covenants as of the end of any fiscal quarter in which there are any loans outstanding at any time during such fiscal quarter. Based on the Company’s current results of operations and financial covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement, availability at June 30, 2016 would be approximately $150,000 . Future results may impact availability.  The payment of dividends on the Company’s common stock is restricted under provisions of the Credit Facility, which limits the amount of cash dividends that the Company may pay in any one fiscal year to $30,000 . The Company currently does not pay, and has not paid, any dividends on its common stock, and currently intends to retain any future earnings for use in its business.  There was no outstanding balance on the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2016 or December 31, 2015.  Capitalized Lease Obligations  The Company’s capitalized lease obligations primarily include a lease agreement that was entered into during 2006 with respect to the Company’s corporate headquarters located in Rock Hill, SC. Capitalized lease obligations decreased to $8,481 at June 30, 2016 from $8,716 at December 31, 2015, due to the normal scheduled timing of payments.

The 2004 Stock Plan also designates measures that may be used for performance awards.  The Director Plan authorizes shares of restricted stock for non-employee directors of the Company.  The 2015 Plan authorizes shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, cash incentive awards and the grant of options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The 2015 Plan also designates measures that may be used for performance awards.  Generally, awards granted prior to November 13, 2015 become fully-vested on the three -year anniversary of the grant date and awards granted after November 13, 2015 will vest one third each year over three years.  The Company records stock-based compensation expense in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Stock-based compensation expense fo r the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was as follows:       Quarter Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,  (in thousands) 2016 2015 2016 2015  Stock-based compensation expense $ 7,226 $ 9,721 $ 18,893 $ 20,050  Restricted Stock  The number of shares and units of restricted common stock awarded and the weighted average fair value per share and unit for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:     Quarter Ended June 30,  2016 2015  (in thousands, except per share amounts) Number of Shares/Units Weighted Average Fair Value Number of Shares/Units Weighted Average Fair Value  Restricted stock awards granted under the:  Incentive Plans — non-executive employees, service condition 85 $ 12.33 226 $ 22.68  Incentive Plans — non-executive employees, market and service condition 46 12.33 — —  Incentive Plans — executive officers, service condition 150 15.12 25 22.61  Incentive Plans — executive officers, market and service condition 75 15.12 — —  Incentive Plans — non-employee directors 39 12.78 — —  Director Plan — non-employee directors 24 12.78 24 22.61  Total restricted stock awards 419 $ 13.90 275 $ 22.67   Six Months Ended June 30,  2016 2015  (in thousands, except per share amounts) Number of Shares/Units Weighted Average Fair Value Number of Shares/Units Weighted Average Fair Value  Restricted stock awards granted under the:  Incentive Plans — non-executive employees, service condition 85 $ 12.33 439 $ 25.86  Incentive Plans — non-executive employees, market and service condition 46 12.33 — —  Incentive Plans — executive officers, service condition 150 15.12 85 27.50  Incentive Plans — executive officers, market and service condition 75 15.12 — —  Incentive Plans — non-employee directors 64 10.79 — —  Director Plan — non-employee directors 24 12.78 24 22.61  Total restricted stock awards 444 $ 13.55 548 $ 26.00 Stock Options  The Company estimates the fair value of stock options and restricted stock awards with market conditions using a binomial lattice Monte Carlo simulation model.

Loss Per Share [Abstract]
Loss Per Share	(9) Loss Per Share  The Company presents basic and dilu ted loss per share amounts. Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to 3D Systems Corporation by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during th e applicable period. Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the applicable period.  The following table reconciles basic weighted average outstanding shares to diluted weighted average outstanding for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015:    Quarter Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,  (in thousands, except per share amounts) 2016 2015 2016 2015  Numerator for basic and diluted net loss per share:  Net loss attributable to 3D Systems Corporation $ (4,648) $ (13,696) $ (22,436) $ (26,877)   Denominator for basic and diluted net loss per share:  Weighted average shares 111,166 112,017 111,288 111,875   Net loss per share, basic and diluted $ (0.04) $ (0.12) $ (0.20) $ (0.24)   Weighted average stock options excluded from diluted loss per share calculation (a) 8 — 4 —  (a) The calculation for weighted average outstanding diluted loss per share excludes stock options with an exercise price that exceeds the average market price of shares during the period. Additionally, the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.  In addition to unexercised stock options, there was an immaterial number of additional shares issuable upon the vesting of restricted stock units that were excluded from the diluted share calculations because they were anti-dilutive.

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	(10) Fair Value Measurements  ASC 820, “ Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ,” defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs that may be used to measure fair value:    · Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;     · Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; or     · Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.  For the Company, the above standard applies to cash equivalents and earnout consideration. The Company utilizes the market approach to measure fair value for its financial assets and liabilities. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.  Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:     Fair Value Measurements as of June 30, 2016  (in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total  Description  Cash equivalents (a) $ 33,502 $ — $ — $ 33,502  Earnout consideration (b) $ — $ — $ 9,302 $ 9,302   Fair Value Measurements as of December 31, 2015  (in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total  Description  Cash equivalents (a) $ 26,648 $ — $ — $ 26,648  Earnout consideration (b) $ — $ — $ 9,673 $ 9,673  (a) Cash equivalents include funds held in money market instruments and are reported at their current carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments and are included in cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheet.  (b) The fair value of the earnout consideration, which is based on the present value of the expected future payments to be made to the sellers of the acquired businesses, was derived by analyzing the future performance of the acquired businesses using the earnout formula and performance targets specified in each purchase agreement and adjusting those amounts to reflect the ability of the acquired entities to achieve the stated targets. Given the significance of the unobservable inputs, the valuations are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The change in earnout consideration reflects a $917 adjustment to the expected payment , partially offset by $546 of accretion.  The Company did not have any transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 , Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016. In addition to the assets and liabilities included in the above table, certain of our assets and liabilities are to be initially measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. This includes goodwill and other intangible assets measured at fair value for impairment assessment, in addition to redeemable noncontrolling interests.

Income Taxes [Abstract]
Income Taxes	(11) Income Taxes  For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded a provision of $1,700 and $2,879 , respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 48.4% and 14.3% of expense, respectively, compared to tax rates of 42.2% and 38.7% of b enefit for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. The difference in the effective tax rates is primarily attributable to valuation allowances that were recorded in the fourth quarter of 2015 in the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions.  The Company has not provided for any taxes on the unremitted earnings of its foreign subsidiaries, as the Company intends to permanently reinvest all such earnings outside of the U.S. We believe a calculation of the deferred tax liability associated with these undistributed earnings is impracticable.  Tax years 1997 through 2015 remain subject to examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, with most of the years open to examination due to the generation and utilization of net operating losses. The Company files income tax returns (which are open to examination beginning in the year shown in parentheses) in Australia ( 2011 ), Belgium ( 2013 ), Brazil ( 2011 ), China ( 2012 ), France ( 2013 ), Germany ( 2011 ), India ( 2012 ), Israel ( 2013 ), Italy ( 2012 ), Japan ( 2011 ), Korea ( 2011 ), Mexico ( 2011 ), Netherlands ( 2011 ), Switzerland ( 2011 ), the United Kingdom ( 2014 ) and Uruguay ( 2010 ).

Commitments And Contingencies [Abstract]
Commitments And Contingencies	(13) Commitments and Contingencies  The Company leases office space and certain furniture and fixtures under various non-cancelable operating leases. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016, rent expense under operating leases was $2,919 and $ 6,175 , respectively, compared to $3,408 and $6,612 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.  As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had supply commitments on printer assemblies that totaled $ 40,634 and $50,663 , respectively.  Certain of the Company’s acquisitions contain earnout and deferred payment provisions under which the sellers of the acquired businesses can earn additional amounts. The total liability recorded for these earnouts and deferred payments at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $9,468 and $9,832 , respectively.  Put Options  The minority interest shareholders of a certain subsidiary have the right in certain circumstances to require the Company to acquire either a portion of or all of the remaining ownership interests held by them. The owners’ ability to exercise any such “put option” right is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including conditions requiring notice in advance of exercise. In addition, these rights cannot be exercised prior to a specified exercise date. The exercise of these rights at their earliest contractual date would result in obligations of the Company to fund the related amounts in 2019.  Management estimates, assuming that the subsidiary owned by the Company at June 30, 2016, performs over the relevant future periods at its forecasted earnings levels, that these rights, if exercised, could require the Company, in future periods, to pay approximately $8,872 to the owners of such put rights that require the Company to acquire such ownership interests in the relevant subsidiary. This amount has been recorded as redeemable noncontrolling i nterests on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The ultimate amount payable relating to this transaction will vary because it is dependent on the future results of operations of the subject business.  Litigation  Securities and Derivative Litigation  The Company and certain of its former executive officers have been named as defendants in a consolidated putative stockholder class action lawsuit pending in the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina. The consolidated action is styled KBC Asset Management NV v. 3D Systems Corporation, et al. , Case No. 0:15-cv-02393-MGL. The Amended Consolidated Complaint (the “Complaint”), which was filed on December 9, 2015, alleges that defendants violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by making false and misleading statements and omissions and that the former officers are control persons under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The Complaint was filed on behalf of stockholders who purchased shares of the Company’s common stock between October 29, 2013, and May 5, 2015 and seeks monetary damages on behalf of the purported class. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Complaint in its ent irety on January 14, 2016, which was denied by Memorandum Opinio n and Order dated July 25, 2016.  Six related derivative complaints have been filed by purported Company stockholders against certain of the Company’s former executive officers and members of its Board of Directors. The Company is named as a nominal defendant in all six actions. The derivatives complaints are styled as follows: (1) Steyn v. Reichental, et al. , Case No. 2015-CP-46-2225, filed on July 27, 2015 in the Court of Common Pleas for the 16th Judicial Circuit, County of York, South Carolina; (2) Piguing v. Reichental, et al. , Case No. 2015-CP-46-2396, filed on August 7, 2015 in the Court of Common Pleas for the 16th Judicial Circuit, County of York, South Carolina; (3) Booth v. Reichental, et al. , Case No. 15-692-RGA, filed on August 6, 2015 in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (“Booth”); (4) Nally v. Reichental, et al. , Case No. 15-cv-03756-MGL, filed on September 18, 2015 in the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina; (5) Gee v. Hull, et al. , Case No. BC-610319, filed on February 17, 2016 in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Los Angeles; and (6) Foster v. Reichental, et al. , Case No. 0:16-cv-01016-MGL, filed on April 1, 2016 in the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina.  The derivative complaints allege claims for breach of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets and unjust enrichment and seek, among other things, monetary damages and certain corporate governance actions.  All of the derivative complaints have been stayed until the earlier of the close of discovery or the deadline for appealing a dismissal in the KBC Asset Management NV securities class action.  The Company believes the claims alleged in the putative securities class action and the derivative lawsuits are without merit and intends to defend the Company and its officers and directors vigorously.  Ronald Barranco and Print3D Corporation v. 3D Systems Corporation, et. al.  On August 23, 2013, Ronald Barranco, a former Company employee, filed two lawsuits against the Company and certain officers in the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii. The first lawsuit (“Barranco I”) is captioned Ronald Barranco and Print3D Corporation v. 3D Systems Corporation, 3D Systems, Inc., and Damon Gregoire , Case No. CV 13-411 LEK RLP, and alleges seven causes of action relating to the Company’s acquisition of Print3D Corporation (of which Mr. Barranco was a 50% shareholder) and the subsequent employment of Mr. Barranco by the Company. The second lawsuit (“Barranco II”) is captioned Ronald Barranco v. 3D Systems Corporation, 3D Systems, Inc., Abraham Reichental, and Damon Gregoire , Case No. CV 13-412 LEK RLP, and alleges the same seven causes of action relating to the Company’s acquisition of certain website domains from Mr. Barranco and the subsequent employment of Mr. Barranco by the Company. Both Barranco I and Barranco II allege the Company breached certain purchase agreements in order to avoid paying Mr. Barranco additional monies pursuant to royalty and earn out provisions in the agreements. The Company and its officers timely filed responsive pleadings on October 22, 2013 seeking, inter alia , to dismiss Barranco I due to a mandatory arbitration agreement and for lack of personal jurisdiction and to dismiss Barranco II for lack of personal jurisdiction.  With regard to Barranco I, the Hawaii district court, on February 28, 2014, denied the Company’s motion to dismiss and its motion to transfer venue to South Carolina for the convenience of the parties. However, the Hawaii court recognized that the plaintiff’s claims are all subject to mandatory and binding arbitration in Charlotte, North Carolina. Because the Hawaii court was without authority to compel arbitration outside of Hawaii, the court ordered that the case be transferred to the district court encompassing Charlotte (the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina) so that court could compel arbitration in Charlotte. On April 17, 2014, Barranco I was transferred in to the Western District of North Carolina. Plaintiff filed a demand for arbitration on October 29, 2014. On December 9, 2014, the Company filed its answer to plaintiff’s demand for arbitration. On February 2, 2015, plaintiff filed an amended demand that removed Mr. Gregoire as a defendant from the matter , and on February 4, 2015 the Company filed its amended answer. The parties selected an arbitrator and arbitration took place in June 2015 in Charlotte, North Carolina.  On September 28, 2015, the arbitrator issued a final award in favor of Mr. Barranco with respect to two alleged breaches of contract and implied covenants arising out of the contract. The arbitrator found that the Company did not commit fraud or make any negligent misrepresentations to Mr. Barranco. Pursuant to the award, the Company is to pay approximately $11,282 , which includes alleged actual damages of $7,254 , fees and expenses of $2,318 and prejudgment interest of $1,710 . The Company disagrees with the single arbitrator’s findings and conclusions and believes the arbitrator’s decision exceeds his authority and disregards the applicable law. As an initial response, the Company filed a motion for modification on September 30, 2015, based on mathematical errors in the computation of damages and fees. On October 16, 2015, the arbitrator issued an order denying the Company’s motion and sua sponte issuing a modified final award in favor of Mr. Barranco in the same above-referenced amounts, but making certain substantive changes to the award, which changes the Company believes were improper and outside the scope of his authority and the A merican A rbitration A ssociation rules. On November 20, 2015, the Company filed a motion to vacate the a rbitration a ward in the federal court in the Western District of North Car olina. Claimants also filed a motion to confirm the arbitration a w ard. A hearing was held on the m otions on June 29, 2016 in federal court in the Western D istrict of North Carolina. The c ourt requested supplemental briefing by the parties, which briefs wer e filed on July 11, 2016. Both m otions are not fully briefed and pending before the c ourt. Notwithstanding the Company’s right to appeal, given the arbitrator’s decision, the Company recorded an $11,282 expense provision for this matter in the quarter ended September 30, 2015. The provision is subject to adjustment based on the ultimate outcome of the Company’s appeal. If it is ultimately determined that money is owed following the full appellate process in federal court, the Company intends to fund any amounts to be paid from cash on hand. This amount has been classified as a long-term liability given the customary timeline of an appeals process. The Company will review this classification periodically.   With regard to Barranco II, the Hawaii district court, on March 17, 2014, denied the Company’s motion to dismiss and its motion to transfer venue to South Carolina. However, the Hawaii court dismissed Count II in plaintiff’s complaint alleging breach of the employment agreement. The Company filed an answer to the complaint in the Hawaii district court on March 31, 2014. On November 19, 2014, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment on all claims which was heard on January 20, 2015. On January 30, 2015, the court entered an order granting in part and d enying in Part the Company’s motion for summary judgment. The Order narrowed the plaintiff’s claim for breach of contract and dismissed the plaintiff’s claims for fraud and negligent misrepresentation. As a result, Messrs. Reichental and Gregoire were dismissed from the lawsuit. The case was tried to a jury in May 2016, and on May 27, 2016 the jury found that the Company was not liable for either breach of contract or breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. Additionally, the jury found in favor of the Company on its counterclaim against Mr. Barranco and determined that Mr. Barranco violated his non-competition covenant with the Company. The Court is expected to order an accounting with respect to the counterclaim.  The Company is involved in various other legal matters incidental to its business. Although the Company cannot predict the results of litigation with certainty, the Company believes that the disposition of these legal matters will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position.  Indemnification  In the normal course of business, the Company periodically enters into agreements to indemnify customers or suppliers against claims of intellectual property infringement made by third parties arising from the use of the Company’s products. Historically, costs related to these indemnification provisions have not been significant, and the Company is unable to estimate the maximum potential impact of these indemnification provisions on its future results of operations.  To the extent permitted under Delaware law, the Company indemnifies its directors and officers for certain events or occurrences while the director or officer is, or was, serving at the Company’s request in such capacity, subject to limited exceptions. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification obligations is unlimited; however, the Company has directors and officers insurance coverage that may enable the Company to recover future amounts paid, subject to a deductible and the policy limits. There is no assurance that the policy limits will be sufficient to cover all damages, if any.

(b) The fair value of the earnout consideration, which is based on the present value of the expected future payments to be made to the sellers of the acquired businesses, was derived by analyzing the future performance of the acquired businesses using the earnout formula and performance targets specified in each purchase agreement and adjusting those amounts to reflect the ability of the acquired entities to achieve the stated targets. Given the significance of the unobservable inputs, the valuations are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The change in earnout consideration reflects a $917 adjustment to the expected payment , partially offset by $546 of accretion.

Earnout consideration	[2]	$ 9,302	$ 9,673
[1]	Cash equivalents include funds held in money market instruments and are reported at their current carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments and are included in cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheet.
[2]	The fair value of the earnout consideration, which is based on the present value of the expected future payments to be made to the sellers of the acquired businesses, was derived by analyzing the future performance of the acquired businesses using the earnout formula and performance targets specified in each purchase agreement and adjusting those amounts to reflect the ability of the acquired entities to achieve the stated targets. Given the significance of the unobservable inputs, the valuations are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The change in earnout consideration reflects a $917 adjustment to the expected payment, partially offset by $546 of accretion.
