3D Systems Brings 3D Printing to AIA 2012

- Create More Faster in High Definition - Communicate Your Designs in Full Color

ROCK HILL, S.C., May 16, 2012 -- 3D Systems Corporation

(NYSE:DDD) announced today that it will showcase its latest 3D
content-to-print solutions at the American Institute of Architects'
2012 National Convention and Design Exposition at the Walter E.
Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC May 17-19th in booth number
2160.

Architects continue to stretch the limits on fine feature detail, speed and
sizes to accommodate larger and more complex scale models. With our recently
launched ZPrinter(R) 850, boasting the largest build platform in its class,
architects can print larger scale, fine detailed models faster. Users can
also stack up several small scale massing models in a single build,
conducting quick design studies and concept iterations with their teammates,
clients or regulatory boards.

"We are pleased to share our complete design to manufacturing capabilities
with the attendees of AIA 2012," said Cathy Lewis, Vice President of Global
Marketing for 3D Systems. "Working closely with customers we have already
transformed the way architects design and communicate. With our expanded
range of on-site and cloud printing services we look forward to empowering
more architects to create and make faster."
