3D Systems Announces European Operations Team.

VALENCIA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 18, 1999--

3D Systems Corp. (Nasdaq:TDSC) today announced its newly formed European operations team headed by Grant Flaharty, vice president and general manager of 3D Systems Europe.

As part of the company's reorganization, it was previously announced that the European operation would become a single business entity, with corporate and branch offices in various countries. To this effect, the European operations will now have headquarters in the United Kingdom, with individual subsidiaries in Germany, France and Italy. Spain will become a representative office of the United Kingdom.

"These changes to the corporate structure will ensure a unified approach to this exciting and rapidly growing segment of the business," stated Flaharty.

"We have also made changes to our sales organization to recognize two distinct focuses -- the more mature markets in Germany, the U.K. and Italy; and secondly, the emerging markets," he continued. Oliver Edelmann, director of Sales, and Robert Baumgartner, vice president of Emerging Markets, will assume leadership over these respective critical markets.

Customer service needs in the various regions throughout Europe, the Middle East, India, Africa and South America will be addressed by Harald Kessler, in the newly created position of director of European Field Services and Central Operations. Peter Samra, formerly the operations director for the Northern Region, will assume a new role as the director of European Operations.

In addition, Michael Cohen will assume the newly created position of director of European Commerce and Finance. This organization will include Europe's sales order administration, imports, customs and daily operations.

Human resource activities, which had previously been operating on a country-by-country basis, will now be handled by Sabine Griesheimer, European Human Resources manager.

"The new infrastructure takes into consideration the growth within the European region over the past two years, and the anticipated growth in the year 2000 and beyond," said Flaharty. "The formation of this team will allow us to focus our resources across the European markets and organizations, along with supporting our customers and employees."

Under Flaharty's direction, the marketing team intends to enhance business development through integrated business solutions and enhancing customer relationships.
