                             Tokyo, Japan
ROCK HILL, S.C.--(Business Wire)--
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(TM) HD
3000 3-D Production System using Multi-Jet Modeling (MJM(TM))
technology and its direct-metal producing Sinterstation(R) Pro DM250
SLM System. It will also exhibit its large-frame Pro systems, the
Viper(TM) Pro SLA(R) and Sinterstation(R) Pro SLS(R) 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(R) Stereolithography (SLA(R)) and DuraForm(R) Selective
Laser Sintering (SLS(R)) 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(R) 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(R)
product line in Japan to include six new SLA(R) Materials, including
Accura(R) Xtreme Plastic for parts with the look and feel of durable
molded plastic, Accura(R) Bluestone Nanocomposite Material for
demanding applications such as wind-tunnel testing, and Accura(R) 60
Plastic for tough, clear parts that simulate the look and feel of
polycarbonate.
