VALENCIA, Calif., Apr. 14, 2004 -
3D Systems Corporation (Nasdaq: TDSC) announced today that it will display finely-detailed, intricate parts produced on its new InVision™ HR (high-resolution) 3-D printer at Europe’s largest jewelry trade show BaselWorld 2004, April 15 through April 22, 2004.

Enhancing the InVision 3-D printer technology platform to address a specific customer segment need, 3D Systems has developed a high-resolution, simple, fast, reliable and economical solid imaging solution designed specifically for the jewelry industry. The high-resolution capability enables jewelry manufacturers to produce fine-feature, highly detailed parts in a day, reliably and at an affordable price. The InVision HR 3-D printer is the second 3-D printer solution to be introduced by 3D Systems within a few short months following the InVision 3-D printer, which was introduced in October 2003. The InVision HR 3-D printer is capable of significantly higher resolution than the standard InVision 3-D printer and will be priced at $59,900 US. High-resolution parts are used for jewelry design validation, communication, aesthetics and as direct patterns for flask casting.
3D Systems plans to commence shipments of its InVision HR 3-D printer as of July 1st 2004.

“The rapid development and quick introduction of our InVision HR 3-D printer is yet another example of the renewed focus and commitment 3D Systems has on improving our customers’ bottom-line,” said Abe Reichental, 3D Systems’ Chief Executive Officer.
“With the introduction of the Viper SLA® system in 2002 we gained a great deal of knowledge and experience about our specific jewelry customers’ needs. Armed with this valuable customer knowledge, we further developed and quickly introduced a specialized stereolithography material, Amethyst™ SL material. The combination of the Amethyst SL material, the Viper SLA system, application engineering and comprehensive suite of customer services delivers a high-end expert solution to the Jewelry industry. Now, in order to meet the needs of a broader customer base within the Jewelry industry, we plan to introduce the InVision HR 3-D printer along with proprietary VisiJet® jewelry materials.”
