Acu-Cast Buys 3D Systems Viper Pro SLA System
 ROCK
HILL,
SC, Oct 10, 2007 - 3D Systems Corporation (NASDAQ: TDSC), a leading provider of
3-D Modeling, Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing solutions, announced today
that Acu-Cast Technologies, LLC, a leading one-stop shop specializing in
Rapid Prototyping and short-run manufacturing, has purchased a Viper Pro SLA
System from 3D Systems to expand its large-part manufacturing capabilities
for its customers.
With fast speed and excellent details, the Viper Pro SLA System creates
parts with the outstanding definition, accuracy, surface finish and maximum
part size that is ordinarily associated with CNC machining. This system
provides clean changeover of materials as well as remote operation and
monitoring.
Acu-Cast Technologies, LLC, a rapid manufacturer located in Lawrenceburg,
Tennessee, with a complete suite of in-house services including aluminum or
zinc metal castings, plastic urethane castings, SLA and SLS design models,
and high-speed CNC machining, has expanded its Rapid Prototyping and
Manufacturing business with the purchase of a 3D Systems’ Viper Pro SLA
System. Last year, it purchased two high-speed Sinterstation HiQ SLS Systems
to keep up with high customer demand for RP solutions.
“Building off the success we’ve experienced with the two SLS machines we
purchased from 3D Systems, we felt the need for additional capacity to our
existing Stereo lithography department,” said Gary D. Mitchell, owner of
Acu-Cast Technologies.
“We strive to give our customers what they ask for, and they wanted
larger parts with good detail, quickly. With the Viper Pro System, we are
adding capacity to our in-house prototyping solutions while answering our
customers’ needs. We use several 3D Systems’ resins, including the latest
Accura Materials, to give our customers fast, precision prototyping as part
of our mission to become an extension of our customers’ design, tool room
and manufacturing departments.”
“3D Systems works to bring the newest and best technology to part users
and to provide first-class service bureaus like Acu-Cast with the capacity
to succeed and improve their bottom line,” said Abe Reichental, 3D Systems’
president and chief executive officer. “Gary is a real visionary who built
his business on vertical integration, the latest technology, high quality
and personal interaction. With this investment, Acu-Cast Technologies
demonstrates yet again its commitment to bringing the latest technology to
its customers. It is an honor and a privilege to work with such a fine
partner. We look forward to continuing to build our relationship with this
innovative company.”
