3D Systems Announces iPro 9000 XL SLA Center
 ROCK
HILL, SC, Oct 8, 2008 - 3D 3D Systems Corporation (NASDAQ: TDSC), a
leading provider of 3-D Printing, Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing
solutions, announced today the iPro 9000 XL SLA Center for the
production of extra-large, high-definition ‘Pro Parts’ for prototyping
and end-use. 3D Systems plans to present this new system during its
World Conference later this month and begin commercial shipments of this
system during the fourth quarter of this year.
 With
the ability to deliver parts up to 60-inches long, the iPro 9000 XL SLA
Precision Center is ideal for applications requiring large, single-piece
parts with all of the performance attributes and accuracy that users have
come to expect from 3D Systems’ high-definition Stereolithography process.
Its extra-large build platform (59 X 30 X 22 in. or 1500 X 750 X 550 mm.) is
the largest commercially available Stereolithography platform. The iPro 9000
XL delivers a complete part with no seams for aesthetic superiority, uni-part
durability, reduced labor and decreased cost.
The iPro 9000 XL SLA Center is the third model of the recently introduced
modular iPro 9000 SLA Centers, adding a third platform configuration
alternative to the current single and dual Resin Delivery Modules (RDM). The
iPro family of Precision Centers quickly and economically produces durable
plastic parts from 3D Systems’ family of integrated Accura Plastics with
unprecedented surface smoothness, feature resolution, edge definition and
tolerances that rival the accuracy of CNC-machined plastic parts. Based on
decades of 3D Systems’ patented SLA technology, these SLA Centers feature 3D
Systems’ new generation proprietary ProScan digital scanning system that is
equipped with a new state-of-the-art SteadyPower Imager for optimal
performance and repeatability.
"It is exciting to think about all of the industries that can benefit
from the extra-large, uni-part manufacturing capability of the new iPro 9000
XL SLA Center and all of the new applications that this new manufacturing
capability have made possible," said Lee Dockstader, vice president and
general manager of Stereolithography products at 3D Systems. "With this new
system, we can build an entire car bumper in one piece, specifically
addressing our loyal automotive customers’ desire to build bigger, better
and faster. Paired with our growing portfolio of Accura ‘Pro’ Plastics, the
iPro 9000 XL SLA Center is a versatile solution for a variety of automotive,
aerospace, construction and investment casting applications."
Discussion on the iPro 9000 XL at the 3D Systems World Conference
The 3D Systems World Conference will be held from October 20-23, 2008, in
Charlotte, N.C./Rock Hill, S.C. For more information, visit
