APP Selects 3D Systems Accura
 ROCK
HILL,
SC, Feb 11, 2008 - 3D Systems Corporation (NASDAQ: TDSC), a leading provider of
3-D Modeling, Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing solutions, announced
today that American Precision Prototyping (APP) of Tulsa, Oklahoma, has
selected the 3D Systems’ Accura family of materials exclusively for its
entire SLA Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing operations to deliver
proven, dependable Pro Parts.
APP is an authorized 3D Systems Preferred Service Provider that
operates multiple 3D Systems’ Stereolithography (SLA) and Selective
Laser Sintering (SLS) Systems. APP provides fast, high-quality rapid
prototypes and end-use parts, instant online quotes and other innovative
manufacturing solutions. Capitalizing on the growing demand for
precision, high–performance, quality parts, this industry-leading
service bureau moved all of its production to 3D Systems’ Accura line of
SLA Materials as well as to DuraForm Materials for its SLS operations.
The patented Accura portfolio of engineered materials is used to
build highly accurate, ready-to-use, smooth parts of various sizes and
geometries in hours. These materials, in combination with 3D Systems’
equipment, create small and large Pro Parts with beautiful surfaces,
fine features and crisp edges, delivering the quality and feel of
injection-molded polypropylene, ABS and polycarbonate, without molding,
tooling, dies or traditional machining.
As a sole Accura Pro Parts provider, APP offers a comprehensive
selection of Accura Materials, including the new, tough, gray-molded,
ABS-like Accura Xtreme Plastic; the rigid engineered nanocomposite,
Accura Bluestone Material, designed for motor sport and aerospace
applications; and the popular, clear Accura 60 Plastic that has the
properties and appearance of polycarbonate.
"I am pleased to be offering the full line of Accura Materials to APP
customers," said Jason Dickman, APP’s president. "Accura Materials are
the broadest range of materials available and meet the demands of
virtually any application. I have been in the RP industry for many years
and have witnessed first-hand the evolution of Stereolithography
materials from the early acrylate materials that yielded inaccurate,
brittle parts to those today that are closer to production-grade
materials than ever before. The Accura Materials line really exemplifies
the commitment of 3D Systems to the development of cutting-edge SL
materials that push the envelope of traditional prototyping materials
and bring customers closer to production parts."
"It is a testament to the breadth, differentiation and functionality
of our SLA Materials’ portfolio that a leading service bureau has chosen
to go 100% Accura for its Stereolithography Materials," said Abe
Reichental, 3D Systems’ president and chief executive officer. "Accura
Materials are fast becoming an industry-leading brand, further enhancing
our Pro Part solutions. The word is getting out that our expertly
engineered materials bring a whole new dimension to part design and
fabrication, delivering a new level of accuracy, speed, flexibility,
cost-effectiveness and superior quality."
