3D Systems to Unveil Polypropylene Material at Japan Expo
 ROCK
HILL, SC, June 19, 2008 - 3D Systems Corporation (NASDAQ: TDSC), a
leading provider of 3-D Printing, Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing
solutions, has announced that it will run a newly developed
polypropylene-based material on its Sinterstation Pro SLS System at the
Design Engineering &
Manufacturing Solutions Expo (DMS) from June 25-27, 2008, in Tokyo,
Japan.
3D Systems is developing this new Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)
Plastic, DuraForm XR300, jointly with TRIAL Corporation of Kanagawa, Japan.
This revolutionary material is translucent, white in color, flexible, and
has good chemical resistance and elevated impact strength. It is designed
for a wide-range of applications, such as automotive interiors, requiring
parts that are soft and flexible, yet durable. While not yet commercially
available, DMS attendees will have the first opportunity to preview DuraForm
XR300 Material.
"3D Systems is pleased to unveil to the Japanese marketplace a newly
developed polypropylene-based material designed exclusively for our advanced
selective laser sintering rapid manufacturing systems," said Abe Reichental,
3D Systems’ president and chief executive officer. "After more than a decade
of laser sintering technology dominated by polyamide based materials, we are
very pleased to be the ones making a significant technology announcement
regarding a truly breakthrough material for rapid manufacturing
applications. Japan continues to be an important leading-edge marketplace
for 3D Systems, and it is appropriate that this advancement was made
possible through collaboration with a Japanese research company. We are
pleased therefore to have the opportunity to share our next generation
systems and materials with our Japanese customers and advanced users at the
DMS Expo."
3D Systems will exhibit its new, high-definition ProJet HD 3000 3-D
Production System using Multi-Jet Modeling (MJM) technology and its
direct-metal producing Sinterstation Pro DM250 SLM System. It will also
exhibit its large-frame Pro systems, the Viper Pro SLA and Sinterstation Pro
SLS Systems. All of these systems use CAD data to build three-dimensional
parts in hours using advanced Additive Manufacturing technology.
