Rock Hill, South Carolina, Aug. 22, 2007 -
3D Systems Corporation (NASDAQ: TDSC), a leading provider of 3-D Modeling, Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing solutions, announced today that representatives from Bell Helicoptor, 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 and medical applications.
Chris Gravelle and Matt Cordner of Bell Helicopter will give a keynote presentation titled “Sintering 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 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 for prototypes and on-snow functional testing thanks to 3D Systems’ laser sintering 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.
