New 3-D Printer, Direct Metal System and Large-Frame SLA® and SLS® Pro Systems as well as Accura® and DuraForm® Pro Parts on display at the Design Engineering & Manufacturing Solutions Expo in Tokyo, Japan
3D Systems Corporation (NASDAQ:TDSC), a leading provider of 3-D Modeling, Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing solutions, announced today that it will showcase four technologies at the Design Engineering & Manufacturing Solutions Expo (DMS) from June 25-27, 2008, in Tokyo, Japan.
3D Systems will exhibit its new, high-definition ProJet™ HD 3000 3-D Production System using Multi-Jet Modeling (MJM™) technology and its direct-metal producing Sinterstation® Pro DM250 SLM System. It will also exhibit its large-frame Pro systems, the Viper™ Pro SLA® and Sinterstation® Pro SLS® Systems. All of these systems use CAD data to build three-dimensional parts in hours using advanced Additive Manufacturing technology. Parts built in the newest Accura® Stereolithography (SLA®) and DuraForm® Selective Laser Sintering (SLS®) Materials will also be on display to show the wide-range of applications and industries that utilize 3D Systems’ solutions.
“We are pleased to have the opportunity to exhibit the full capabilities of four technologies and our Pro Parts and Pro Systems at this premier Rapid Prototyping-Direct Manufacturing event,” said Abe Reichental, 3D Systems’ president and chief executive officer. “Japan continues to be an important market for 3D Systems, and the DMS Exhibition is an ideal opportunity for us to display our expanded portfolio of engineered Accura® Materials. DMS is the best place for our team of experts to show the Japanese marketplace the advantages of our cutting-edge, time- and cost-saving solutions that eliminate the need for expensive and time-consuming tooling and fixturing.”
In April, 3D Systems announced that it expanded its Accura® product line in Japan to include six new SLA® Materials, including Accura® Xtreme Plastic for parts with the look and feel of durable molded plastic, Accura® Bluestone Nanocomposite Material for demanding applications such as wind-tunnel testing, and Accura® 60 Plastic for tough, clear parts that simulate the look and feel of polycarbonate.
