Constellation 3D and Plasmon Reach Agreement to Develop FMD Manufacturing Protocols; Accord To Develop Processes for Fluorescent Multilayer Disc Manufacturing.Business/Technology Editors NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 14, 2001 Constellation 3D, Inc. ("C3D A technology developed at the Turing Institute, Glasgow, Scotland for creating 3D models. Using two cameras to obtain stereo images, C3D turns subjects into 3D models in AutoCAD, 3D Studio and virtual reality formats for Internet use. " or "the Company") (Nasdaq/NMS: CDDD CDDD Customer Desired Due Date CDDD Construction and Demolition Diversion Deposit CDDD Component Detailed Design Document ) - developer of the next generation Fluorescent Multilayer Disc Fluorescent Multilayer Disc (FMD) was an optical disc format developed by Constellation 3D that uses fluorescent, rather than reflective materials to store data. Reflective disc formats (such as CD and DVD) have a practical limitation of about two layers, primarily due to (FMD FMD foot-and-mouth disease. ) technology which provides vast capacity increases in removable data storage - and Plasmon ("Plasmon") (London: PLM (Product Life cycle Management) A comprehensive information system that coordinates all aspects of a product from initial concept to its eventual retirement. Sometimes called the "digital backbone" of a product, it includes the requirements phase, analysis and design ]), a world leader in recordable optical disc technology, today announced the completion of a formal agreement to jointly develop manufacturing processes for mass production of FMD media. Under the agreement, Plasmon and C-3D commenced collaboration on 12th February 2001 to create an FMD media production process for adoption by the optical disc manufacturing industry. This partnership will ultimately result in the first FMD pilot production line, and further position C3D to meet its commercialization goals. "Plasmon is a world leader in the development of recordable optical disc technology," said Dr. Eugene Levich, Chairman and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of C3D. "The making of any optical disc involves input from a wide array of plastics suppliers, dye suppliers, assembly equipment, mastering equipment and quality control technologies. For mass FMD production to be a success, all of these vendors and technologies need to work in harmony." "C3D have demonstrated multilayer readout using their unique FMD technology at a level that is significantly greater than the 2 layers achievable with current reflective recording layers," said Nigel Street, CEO of Plasmon. "Our collaboration will focus on industrialization industrialization Process of converting to a socioeconomic order in which industry is dominant. The changes that took place in Britain during the Industrial Revolution of the late 18th and 19th century led the way for the early industrializing nations of western Europe and of the production processes, to provide future manufacturers of FMD discs with the efficient, low cost and durable mass production techniques." Constellation 3D, Inc. C3D develops advanced data storage products including the ultra high capacity Fluorescent Multilayer Disc and ClearCard. The Company has offices in New York and Massachusetts, and laboratories in California, Israel and Russia. Constellation 3D holds or has made applications for over 80 worldwide patents in the field of optical data storage. More information is available at www.c-3d.net.
