VALENCIA, Calif., Jul. 20, 2004 -
3D Systems Corporation (Nasdaq: TDSC) announced today that it commenced shipment of the InVision™ HR 3-D printer on June 25, 2004.
The InVision HR 3-D printer debuted at the JCK (Jewelers Circular Keystone) show in Las Vegas, Nevada in June. “The response we received was overwhelming,” said Mervyn Rudgley, Senior Marketing Director for the InVision product line for 3D Systems. “The InVision HR 3-D printer enables jewelry manufacturers to print fine-feature, highly detailed parts in a day, reliably and at an affordable price. Companies that were planning to adopt 3-dimensional CAD (Computer Aided Design) software long-term are accelerating their strategy to move to digital design and manufacturing in a matter of months as a result of the business advantages of the InVision HR 3-D printer.”
Priced at $59,900 US, The InVision HR 3-D printer produces high-resolution parts used for jewelry design validation, communication, aesthetics and as direct patterns for flask casting.
Expanding the established InVision 3-D printer technology, 3D Systems developed a higher-resolution, simple, fast, reliable and economical solid imaging solution to address specific customer segment needs. The high-resolution capability enables jewelry, dental, medical implants and precision alloy 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 at the affordable price of $39,900 US.
