([R]) and 3-D Modeling Products 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 Building a part one layer at a time using a method of additive fabrication such as 3D printing. Such parts are used for concept modeling to determine if the product design meets the customer's expectations. and Manufacturing solutions, announced today the availability of its 3DPro([TM]) Software Suite, which includes 3DView([TM]), 3DManage([TM]) and 3DPrint([TM]). This new, state-of-the-art suite of software interface and productivity tools is available for use on 3D Systems' Viper([TM]) Pro SLA (1) (StereoLithography Apparatus) See 3D printing. (2) (Service Level Agreement) A contract between the provider and the user that specifies the level of service expected during its term. ([R]) Systems. The intuitive 3DPro([TM]) Software Suite has an easy-to-use 3-D print user interface much like common 2-D print user interfaces and provides numerous productivity and cost-saving benefits. Viper([TM]) Pro SLA([R]) Systems are the first systems to feature this new software package. 3D Systems plans to make 3DView([TM]), 3DManage([TM]) and 3DPrint([TM]) its new industry standard tool, with future releases available for its other products, including legacy SLA([R]) Systems, Sinterstation([R]) Pro SLS([R]) Systems and InVision([R]) 3-D Modelers. The company believes that the creation of a new industry standard software interface will make it easier to manage and operate service bureaus, manufacturing centers, print centers and offices that use multiple products and systems. Key features of the new software are: * Integrated job submission, tracking and reporting * Integrated CAD viewing and verification * Integrated .stl file manipulation tools * "Drag and drop A graphical user interface (GUI) capability that lets you perform operations by moving the icon of an object with the mouse into another window or onto another icon. For example, files can be copied or moved by dragging them from one folder to another. " part placement and build preparation * Configurable automated file processing These features significantly simplify the build set-up process, reduce build set-up time, reduce labor hours and increase total system throughput and system utilization. The new software also features a synchronized syn·chro·nize v. syn·chro·nized, syn·chro·niz·ing, syn·chro·niz·es v.intr. 1. To occur at the same time; be simultaneous. 2.
