Acu-Cast Buys 3D Systems Viper Pro SLA
 ROCK
HILL,
SC, May 19, 2008 - 3D Systems Corporation (NASDAQ: TDSC), a of 3D Modeling,
Rapid Prototyping and Direct Manufacturing solutions, announced today
that Acu-Cast Technologies, LLC, a leading Preferred Parts Service
Provider (PSP), has purchased its third and fourth Viper Pro SLA Systems
from 3D Systems, doubling its Pro Parts manufacturing capabilities for
its customers for the second time in five months.
 Acu-Cast
installed its first Viper Pro SLA System in October 2007 and experienced an
immediate and significant growth in its business and positive marketplace
response from its first Pro Parts capable system. Bolstered by its early
success, in December 2007, Acu-Cast purchased a second system. With faster
speed and higher definition, the Viper Pro SLA System manufactures parts
with exceptional feature details, accuracy, surface finish and large part
size that are ordinarily associated with CNC machining.
Responding to increased demand for Pro Parts, Acu-Cast Technologies
decided to double its Pro Parts manufacturing capacity for the second time
this year with the purchase of two more 3D Systems’ Viper Pro SLA Systems.
"Responding to the significant demand for Pro Parts, we felt the need for
additional capacity to our rapidly growing Stereolithography department,"
said Gary D. Mitchell, owner of Acu-Cast Technologies. "We are in business
to give our customers what they ask for, and since we installed our first
Viper Pro System we just couldn't keep up with demand for larger parts with
good detail, quickly. With four Viper Pro SLA Systems in-house, we are
positioning ourselves as a leading Pro Parts provider in North America with
state-of-the-art capacity to meet and exceed our customers’ needs. We use
the latest 3D Systems’ 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."
"It's a real privilege to work with successful entrepreneurial partners
like Gary Mitchell, who recognizes the clear advantages of our latest
technology and does not hesitate to continuously invest in it to the benefit
of his growing customer base," said Abe Reichental, 3D Systems’ president
and chief executive officer. "Once again, as a premium provider, Gary has
demonstrated the value of our authorized channel to bring the latest most
advanced precision parts and pattern-manufacturing capabilities to the
marketplace. As more and more end-users recognize the virtues of our Pro
Parts and ask for them by name, the commitment of authorized parts’
manufacturing channel partners like Acu-Cast to supply this growing demand
is critical to our success in serving the expanding parts and pattern
marketplace."
