ROCK HILL, SC, Oct 20, 2008 - 3D Systems Corporation (NASDAQ: TDSC), a leading provider of 3D Printing, Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing solutions, announced today that it plans to resume its managed phased rollout of its V-Flash FTI 230 Desktop Modeler following its World Conference this week. The company previously halted shipments of this modeler earlier this year pending resolution of several technical difficulties that affected the modeler's performance. The company plans to continue with its carefully managed phased rollout plans through the first quarter of 2009 and, pending the successful outcome of this phase, commence full commercial activities for the V-Flash FTI 230 Desktop Modeler.

The company also plans to unveil during its World Conference its plans to commercialize a high-definition V-Flash HD 230 Desktop 3D Printer that will use the company's patented Film Transfer Imaging (FTI) technology. 3D Systems expects to introduce this compact, office-friendly, high-definition 3D Printer in 2009.

The V-Flash HD 230 Desktop Modeler is being designed to enable the quick, accurate build of models from 3D CAD in any office environment. Intended for producing extremely detailed parts at low-cost, this easy-to-use 3D Printer should be ideal for design, engineering and medical applications requiring accuracy, smooth surface finish, and form and fit capability. The V-Flash HD 230 Desktop Modeler is expected to be mid-range in price, with the capability of building exceptionally thin walls.

"We are pleased to be able to resume the phased rollout of our V-Flash FTI 230 Desktop Modeler as well as to share our plans to expand the range of our FTI technology and announce the development of our new, high-definition V-Flash HD 230 Desktop Modeler," said Brian Fraser, Vice-President and General Manager of 3D Systems' 3D Printing products.
