SensAble Selects 3D Systems ProJet DP 3D Printer
 ROCK
HILL, SC, May 22, 2008 - 3D Systems Corporation (NASDAQ: TDSC), a
leading provider of 3D Modeling, Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing
solutions, has announced that SensAble Technologies has chosen its
ProJet DP (Dental Professional) 3000 Production System to be a part of
its integrated SensAble Dental Lab System, which scans, designs and
fabricates frameworks and substructures for dental restorations.
The SensAble Dental Lab System is the first integrated digital solution
to support the production process for partial frameworks as well as crown
and bridge substructures. This solution uniquely incorporates "3D virtual
touch" technology so that lab technicians can "feel" the on-screen image –
and work as naturally and directly with a computer-based system as they do
when using traditional hand-waxing techniques.
Once the digital wax-up is complete, the SensAble Dental Lab System
automatically sends the digital data to the 3D Systems’ ProJet DP Production
System. The ProJet printer uses an additive process to build up thin layers,
creating an accurate resin pattern. The same 3D printer creates the resin
patterns for both partials and crown and bridge. The easy-to-use system can
manufacture more than 100 units per build cycle, depending upon restoration
type. The patterns have a smooth surface finish and can be cast in metal
using traditional methods and materials.
"We are excited to team up with 3D Systems and integrate the ProJet DP
3000 into our digital dental solution," said Bob Steingart, SensAble’s
president and general manager of the company’s dental division. "The ProJet
DP 3000 System consistently produces accurate patterns that our customers
can feel confident in casting, knowing that their dentists will get dental
restorations with a great fit."
"We are pleased that our ProJet DP System has been chosen to play a
significant part in this comprehensive, integrated dental solution from
SensAble Technologies," said Abe Reichental, 3D Systems’ president and chief
executive officer. "With the combination of our and SensAble’s technologies,
we are delivering a valuable digital solution to dental labs looking for a
competitive advantage."
