Tangible Express Purchases 10 3D Systems SLA, SLS Systems
 ROCK
HILL,
South Carolina, March 16, 2007 - 3D Systems Corporation (NASDAQ: TDSC), a
leading provider of Rapid 3-D Modeling, Prototyping and Manufacturing
solutions, announced today that it has received an order for ten systems
from Tangible Express of Springville, Utah.
Tangible Express, a pioneer in Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing
Fractional Ownership, is expanding its capacity with this large systems
order to support the recent launch of its Tangible Alliance Program (TAP).
This new and innovative hosted fractional ownership solution enables
customers to have access to the exact amount of Rapid Prototyping and Rapid
Manufacturing capacity they need without the associated operating, training,
maintenance, facilities and service costs. Tangible Express already owns and
operates a fleet of systems which includes several Viper Pro SLA and
Sinterstation HiQ HS SLS Systems.
The order of ten state-of-the-art systems includes six Viper Pro SLA
Systems, three Sinterstation HiQ HS SLS Systems and a Viper SLA System. This
purchase expands Tangible Express materials portfolio through additional
dedicated machines and materials combinations and enhances its ability to
deliver the most comprehensive 3D Systems supplied material selection for
parts in the industry.
“This order not only creates more available inventory, but it allows us
to offer our users a turnaround time unheard of in the industry,” said Alex
Linde, president and chief operating officer of Tangible Express, which
recently announced it was expanding its operations to a new facility to
provide enough room for the systems order.
“This order adds 16 manufacturing platforms of 3D Systems’ latest, most
productive and accurate systems for us to build owners’ orders on,” added
David McInnis, Tangible’s founder and chief executive officer. “We are
deliberately investing in this additional capacity now so that we could meet
demand and offer our fractional owners a significantly reduced lead-time.
Our goal is to set a new industry standard by producing owners’ builds
within hours instead of the current industry practice, which is days.”
As part of 3D Systems’ commitment to its customers’ success, the company
is providing dedicated on-site service to Tangible Express, maximizing
systems’ performance and up-time.
“We are delighted to support such an innovative company as Tangible
Express and are proud that they chose 3D Systems as the backbone of their
fractional ownership program,” said Abe Reichental, 3D Systems’ president
and chief executive officer. “By choosing to build their fractional
ownership business model based on our latest, high-quality and accurate
Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing Systems, Tangible Express can deliver to
its fractional owners cutting-edge technology at an affordable price as they
need it and when they need it. We believe that the combination of our latest
Systems and Materials along with Tangible Express’ innovative way of
delivering it to the marketplace as fractional ownership of both SLA and SLS
technologies will open new price-sensitive market segments not currently
addressed by our solutions.”
