Midwest Prototyping Purchases iPro(tm) 9000, Becomes Authorized 3D Systems' PSP

ROCK HILL, S.C., June 10, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 3D Systems Corporation
(Nasdaq:TDSC), a leading provider of 3-D Printing, Rapid Prototyping and
Manufacturing solutions, announced today that Midwest Prototyping, LLC, has
upgraded to an iPro(tm) 9000 Center to increase its Stereolithography large-part
capacity. Midwest Prototyping, located in Blue Mounds, Wis., is a recent
addition to the 3D Systems' Preferred Parts Service Provider (PSP) program.

Midwest Prototyping now offers high-quality iPro(tm) SLA(r) parts up to 30
inches long built from 3D Systems' Accura(r) 60 Material, a clear plastic with
the properties of polycarbonate, and Accura(r) 25 Material, a highly flexible
plastic that simulates polypropylene. Midwest Prototyping also has Selective
Laser Sintering (SLS(r)) capabilities and offers sintered parts to its customers
made with 3D Systems' DuraForm(r) Materials, the toughest, most stable laser
sintering materials in the industry.

"Increasing our SLA(r) large-part capacity by upgrading to a 3D Systems'
iPro(tm) and offering SLS(r) services enables us to offer a wider technology
portfolio to our customers improving the timeliness and quality they have become
accustomed to," said Steve Grundahl, President of Midwest Prototyping. "We have
developed a loyal customer base that has come to count on us for fully
functional prototypes and are excited to take on the next challenges in
cutting-edge product development."

The iPro(tm) 9000 SLA(r) Center quickly and economically produces durable
plastic parts with unprecedented surface smoothness, feature resolution, edge
definition and tolerances that rival the accuracy of CNC-machined plastic parts.
Equipped with the new, state-of-the-art SteadyPower(tm) Imager, the iPro(tm)
9000 SLA(r) Center delivers reliable output with faster build speeds and lower
part cost.

"This is the classic success story -- Steve started Midwest Prototyping in 2001
as a one-man operation with a single SLA(r) 250 System," said Abe Reichental, 3D
Systems' President and Chief Executive Officer. "By continuing to invest in
upgrades and new equipment, he has grown his company to be the largest Rapid
Prototyping service bureau in Wisconsin with the most modern and reliable
equipment. We congratulate him on his latest upgrade and expansion and are
excited to add Midwest Prototyping to our list of authorized 3D Systems'
Preferred Part Service Providers to continue to provide high quality parts to
individuals and companies around the world."
