3D Systems to Introduce New Multi-Jet Modeling Printer at SIGGRAPH.


Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

SIGGRAPH (Special Interest Group on Computer Graphics, www.siggraph.org) The arm of the ACM that specializes in computer graphics and interactive techniques. Providing publications, workshops and conferences, it has served technicians and researchers as well as the artist and business community  2002

3D Systems Corp. (Nasdaq:TDSC TDSC Thai Development Support Committee
TDSC Time Domain Signal Coding
TDSC Test Driver System - Charlie
TDSC Time-Domain Spreading Code
) today announced that it will introduce the InVision(TM) si2(TM) 3-D printer at SIGGRAPH 2002. SIGGRAPH is an annual international conference and exhibition for the computer graphics community, where the "digital future is defined and revealed." On display will be a range of 3D Systems' products -- including the new InVision si2 3-D printer, a multi-jet modeling system which combines photocurable hot melt material with the ease of ink-jet printing.

"The InVision 3-D printer is intended to enable designers, engineers and other 3-D data users to quickly, easily and conveniently produce cost-effective, high-quality durable models and prototypes," said Mervyn Rudgley, Senior Director of Product Management. "There are more than one million mechanical CAD seats today and the market is growing 15% a year. This new solid imaging tool will enable designers to concentrate on the creative process while producing models in house."

About 3D Systems

Founded in 1986, 3D Systems, the solid imaging company(SM), provides solid imaging products and solutions that reduce the time and cost of designing products and facilitate direct and indirect manufacturing. Its systems utilize patented technologies to create physical objects from digital input that can be used in design communication, prototyping, and as functional end-use parts.

3D Systems currently offers the ThermoJet(R) solid object printer, InVision(TM) si2(TM) 3-D printer, 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) (stereolithography The first 3D printing technology, which was pioneered by Chuck Hull of 3D Systems. See 3D printing. ) systems, SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) See laser sintering and 3D printing. (R) (selective laser sintering See laser sintering and 3D printer. ) systems, and Accura(TM) materials (including photopolymers, metals, nylons, engineering plastics, and thermoplastics).

3D Systems is the originator of the ADM See add/drop multiplexer.
