ROCK HILL, South Carolina, July 30, 2007 - 3D Systems Corporation (NASDAQ: TDSC), a leading provider of Rapid 3-D Modeling, Prototyping and Manufacturing solutions, announced today the availability of InVision 3-D Modeling courses at 3D Systems University.

Students will learn the fundamentals of transforming object designs into three-dimensional concept models using InVision 3-D Modelers during these two- and three-day courses offered by York Technical College at the newly constructed 3D Systems University in Waterford Business Park in Rock Hill. 3D Systems University is the premier training resource for skill development in 3-D Modeling, Rapid Prototyping and Rapid Manufacturing.

The hands-on classes have been designed to give students a working understanding of how to operate computer-aided design software, install materials and produce models with InVision 3-D Modelers. These systems take digital input from data and create a solid part through an additive, layer-by-layer process. Easy to use and compact for the office and classroom, 3-D Modeling is used extensively by designers during concept development and early product design to accelerate the design process and improve the quality of the final product.

“We are extremely pleased to collaborate with a top-notch educational institution like York Technical College to offer courses in our cutting-edge technology to the public,” said Abe Reichental, 3D Systems’ president and chief executive officer. “We are grateful to York Technical College for opening this state-of-the-art training center so the public as well as our future and existing customers, resellers, partners and employees can learn about the benefits of these Rapid Manufacturing solutions.”

During 3D Systems’ relocation announcement in November 2005, York Technical College announced it would open a training center next to 3D Systems’ global headquarters in Rock Hill. Now open, the training center serves as a showcase for digital manufacturing technologies and as a place to demonstrate how 3D Systems’ innovative products, services and technologies are changing the world of manufacturing in almost every industry, from health care to aerospace. The global attendees of 3D Systems World Conference, Sept. 24-27, 2007, will experience 3D Systems University in hands-on training courses.

York Technical College plans to add coursework addressing Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing to its two-year associate degree program in Mechanical Engineering Technology. Graduates of the program will be in high demand across the country and around the world.

“The InVision 3-D Modeling courses at 3D Systems University represent a great opportunity for the public to get hands-on experience with some truly innovative technology,” said Dr. Greg Rutherford, president of York Technical College. “The combination of world-class training and world-class technologies is a powerful one, and it’s precisely what 3D Systems University is all about.”
