The InVision 3-D printer from 3D Systems
|
VALENCIA, Calif., Nov. 13, 2003 -
3D Systems Corp. (Nasdaq: TDSC) announces an affordable way of “Jetting into
Physical Reality” with the InVision 3-D printer priced at $39,900 USD.
“More
than just another rapid prototyping system, the InVision 3-D printer provides
customers with a new way to take any virtual 3-D concept and turn it into
physical reality. It enables organizations to design new products ‘outside of
today’s RP box’. Our new solution enables customers to expedite product
development and reach the marketplace sooner, critical to new product success in
this fast paced world of shorter product life cycles,” said Abe Reichental, 3D
Systems president and CEO. “We focus on providing high-quality, ever more
affordable, value-added solutions to our customers, and we are proud to add the
InVision 3-D printer to our growing suite of innovative system solutions.”
The
InVision 3-D printer produces high-quality models at an affordable price,
without geometric limitations. This innovative new system offers easy finishing,
friendly multi-user network 3-D printing and is user maintenance free –- to
create a 3-D reality - just load and print.

“The InVision 3-D printer is incredible! It has given us the ability to build ‘perfect’ models that have the integrity and resolution that exceed the standards of our industry,” said Karl Meyer, president for Gentle Giant Studios. “With the in-house capability of a 3-dimensional printer we are able to produce models, prototypes, and end-use patterns within hours. In our industry, the Entertainment industry, the integrity and accuracy of the images we produce is essential. We use extremely highly detailed 3-D CAD data, and with the InVision 3-D printer we know we can print an exact 3-dimensional model, plus we can do all of this at the fast pace required. As an owner of both the
ThermoJet® 3-D printer and a Viper SLA® system, I find the InVision 3-D printer to be the perfect addition to complete our RP arsenal.”

“Low-cost Rapid Prototyping systems are not new, but ease-of-use, model quality and complexity suffer as a result,” said Mervyn Rudgley, InVision 3-D printer Product Director for 3D Systems. “The InVision 3-D printer team took premier 2-D printers as the benchmark for ease-of-use, low maintenance and image fidelity. How easy it is to interact with the system, and the quality of what you hold in your hand when finished, sets this printer apart from all of today’s low cost RP alternatives. Our customers want their part quality to communicate their company quality. InVision models enable our customers to meet and exceed their standards.”
