Such parts are used for concept modeling to determine if the product design meets the customer's expectations. and Manufacturing Innovations ROCK HILL, S.C. -- 3D Systems Corporation (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on : TDSC TDSC Thai Development Support Committee TDSC Time Domain Signal Coding TDSC Test Driver System - Charlie TDSC Time-Domain Spreading Code ), a leading provider of 3-D Modeling, Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing solutions, announced today that representatives from Bell Helicopter, Burton Snowboards and Honda Japan are among the industry leaders slated to present at the 3D Systems World Conference from September 24-27, 2007, in Rock Hill, S.C. The conference agenda, posted at www.3dworldconference.com, is packed with exciting classes, extensive hands-on training sessions, dynamic presenters, comprehensive exhibits and plenty of valuable networking opportunities. With presentations by such global leaders as Bell Helicopter, Burton Snowboards and Honda Japan, the comprehensive agenda covers every major global industry segment - aerospace, architecture, automotive, consumer goods consumer goods Any tangible commodity purchased by households to satisfy their wants and needs. Consumer goods may be durable or nondurable. Durable goods (e.g., autos, furniture, and appliances) have a significant life span, often defined as three years or more, and and medical applications. Chris Gravelle and Matt Cordner of Bell Helicopter will give a keynote presentation titled "Sintering sintering, process of forming objects from a metal powder by heating the powder at a temperature below its melting point. In the production of small metal objects it is often not practical to cast them. Technology Reaches the Cockpit" that will explore how that company uses 3D Systems' technology to expand its use of Rapid Prototyping parts in aircraft. This innovative, global company designs, builds and supports proven and reliable aircraft throughout the world. "This presentation will address the process of prototyping, qualifying and designing around the capabilities of sintered sin·ter n. 1.

A mass formed by sintering. v. sin·tered, sin·ter·ing, sin·ters v. parts in an aerospace environment as well as the challenges encountered along the way," said Cordner, executive director of Bell Helicopter's XworX organization, which is responsible for product research and prototyping. Burton Snowboard's Ryan Larson will talk about his company's quick turnaround time (1) In batch processing, the time it takes to receive finished reports after submission of documents or files for processing. In an online environment, turnaround time is the same as response time. for prototypes and on-snow functional testing (testing) functional testing - (Or "black-box testing", "closed-box testing") The application of test data derived from the specified functional requirements without regard to the final program structure. thanks to 3D Systems' laser sintering Building prototypes and finished parts in a machine from powdered thermoplastics and metals that are cured by heat from a laser. From CAD drawings that have been cross sectioned into thousands of layers, the machine builds up the part by curing one layer at a time. technology during a presentation titled "Advancing Past the Bunny Slope." Rapid Manufacturing will be the focus of a keynote presentation by Mr. Tanaka of Honda Japan that will showcase how Honda has applied 3D Systems' technologies in the fast-paced, innovative and revolutionary automotive world. Mr. Tanaka's presentation, titled "Digital Product Development Moves Into the Driver's Seat," is expected to be a visually and lively demonstration of how Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing has shortened Honda's product development cycle and helped the company become one of the most successful car manufacturers in the world. Presenters and attendees at the 3D Systems World Conference will share a common vision and passion to transform the way products are designed, developed and manufactured. It is the only conference in the industry to include numerous technology platforms, true hands-on training in state-of-the-art labs and a network of global users so everyone from product designers and engineers to seasoned 3D Systems' machine users will leave the conference more knowledgeable, better equipped and more inspired to innovate. For qualified attendees, there is no conference or registration fee, and 3D Systems will pay for food, in-town transportation and entertainment.
