ROCK HILL, South Carolina – June 28, 2010 - 3D Systems (NASDAQ: TDSC) announced today the immediate availability of single piece large parts through its 3Dproparts™ network. The company confirmed that it has expanded its SLA production capacity to fifty-five systems that now include twelve state-of-the-art Pro™ SLA Systems across the 3Dproparts network, along with a wide range of high performance materials to meet its customers demanding requirements.
As part of this expansion phase, the company installed two iPro 9000XL™ SLA Production Centers capable of producing up to 60 inch extra-large, single-piece parts and QuickCast™ patterns. Regardless of part size and complexity, these Extra Large iPro SLA Systems deliver unmatched surface finish, fine feature detail and dimensional accuracy for all large part applications.
