3D Systems Launches Accura 55 Plastic
 ROCK
HILL,
South Carolina, July 3, 2007 - 3D Systems Corporation (NASDAQ: TDSC), a leading
provider of 3-D Modeling, Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing solutions
announced today the immediate availability of Accura 55 Plastic, a tough and
versatile new stereolithography material that simulates the look and feel of
molded ABS.
Accura 55 Plastic has been praised by advanced users for its unique
performance attributes, which include increased productivity as a result of
its ultra low viscosity that deliver better uptime, increased capacity
utilization and substantially reduced post-processing and finishing labor.
This material also provides engineers and designers with strong, functional
models featuring fine detail and smooth surface finish.
Accura 55 Plastic is 3D Systems’ latest addition to its comprehensive
family of versatile and dependable Accura materials. Parts produced on Viper
Pro SLA systems from Accura 55 Plastic exhibit the desired accuracy for the
most demanding functional prototypes and master patterns, well within
tolerance and completely faithful to the CAD data from which they are made,
and have the durability required for functional assembly tests.
Accura 55 Plastic produces white ABS-like parts without molding or
machining and is ideal for Rapid Prototyping and Rapid Manufacturing of
automotive interior components, short-run production parts, electronic
components, functional testing, concept and marketing models, and master
patterns for urethane casting.
“We are very pleased to announce another significant material launch
consistent with our commitment to lead through technology and expand the
utility of our solutions through highly functional materials,” said Abe
Reichental, 3D Systems’ president and chief executive officer. “Accura 55
Plastic is a high-performance material designed to improve our customers’
bottom line by increasing productivity and reducing costs. Engineers and
designers who are constantly looking for engineered plastics’-like
performance from their models and functional prototypes will be impressed by
the quality and toughness of this revolutionary material.
“In fact, we are deeply gratified that some of our advanced users such as
Harvest Technology are already benefiting from the successful development of
this industry-changing material.”
Harvest Technologies uses Accura 55 Plastic for its customers who need
fast Rapid Prototyping solutions.
“Based on the strong growth in our business, we will be adding a Viper
Pro SLA System to our fleet this month,” said Jason Morgan, Harvest’s
stereolithography production manager. “Demand for rigid and durable models
built with Accura 55 Plastic has led us to select this material as the
primary one for use with this new system. These models are used by our
customers for a variety of applications to simulate end-use,
injection-molded ABS parts. This addition will enable us to build even
larger Accura 55 prototypes to meet our growing customer demand.”
Accura 55 Plastic is already available through a number of service
providers, including Harvest Technologies and Tangible Express in the United
States and Ogle Models and Prototypes in the United Kingdom.
