Realize Inc Celebrates 10 Years with Purchase of New SLA Precision Center from 3D Systems

ROCK HILL, South Carolina : 3D Systems Corporation (NASDAQ: TDSC), a leading provider of 3-D Printing, Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing solutions, announced today that Realize Inc., a Noblesville, Indiana-based Rapid Prototyping service company celebrating 10 years in business in 2009, has purchased an iPro™™ 9000 SLA® Precision Center to increase its large-part manufacturing capabilities.

Realize is a 3D Systems' Preferred Service Provider (PSP) delivering high-quality Stereolithography parts to customers around the world. The next-generation iPro 9000 is Realize's sixth SLA System from 3D Systems and was purchased to respond to increased demand for large, single-piece parts built from 3D Systems' integrated portfolio of Accura® Plastics.

The iPro 9000 SLA 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™ Imager, the iPro 9000 SLA Center delivers consistently reliable output with faster build speeds and lower part cost.

"We are excited to begin our 10th year in business by adding the latest Stereolithography technology to build top-quality prototypes for our customers, taking another step forward in our progression as a leading RP company," said Todd Reese, President of Realize Inc. "The combination of large-part capacity, high accuracy and crisp detail of the iPro 9000 SLA Center paired with the new SteadyPower Imager and our excellent turnaround times have already impressed customers during its first few weeks of operation. Our automotive clients are thrilled with our new ability to build one-piece parts that are 30 inches long."

"We are pleased that Realize decided to acquire a new iPro™ 9000 SLA® Precision Center to deliver enhanced value-added Pro Parts precision, quality and service capabilities to its growing customer base," said Abe Reichental, 3D Systems' President and Chief Executive Officer.
