 New platform will transform production of mass customized and complex end use parts while meeting durability and repeatability requirements of production environments  First shipment made to Fortune 50 industrial company

CHICAGO, Illinois, March 20, 2017 - Delivering on its strategy to transform 3D manufacturing workflows, 3D Systems (NYSE:DDD) today announced the industrys first modular, scalable and fully-integrated additive manufacturing platform. 3D Systems disruptive Figure 4 production platform produces plastic parts more than 50 times faster than current systems, delivering dramatically lower total cost of operations while offering competitive and compelling comparisons to conventional methods.

Based on its revolutionary Figure 4 technology, 3D Systems new platform allows customers to tailor configurations and select materials to address specific applications. Configurations range from single-print engine machines to fully automated, high-volume production systems with 16 or more print engines, automated material delivery and integrated post-processing.
The company recently shipped the first system to a Fortune 50 industrial customer, and plans to ramp customer-specific shipments throughout the second half of 2017.

"We believe our breakthrough Figure 4 platform will revolutionize manufacturing by
transforming production of both mass customized and complex end use parts with a
compelling total cost of operations versus conventional methods," said Vyomesh Joshi
(VJ), President and CEO, 3D Systems. "While others are realizing the need to transition
from prototyping to production, we are delivering real solutions across all key vertical
markets and applications that are helping customers solve problems today."

As part of its vertical strategy, 3D Systems will unveil one of its initial solutions for the
multibillion-dollar dental industry based on the Figure 4 platform and its NextDent
materials. Customers will be able to see the solution at the International Dental Show
(IDS) 2017, in Cologne, Germany, March 21-25.
Over time, the company intends to extend the Figure 4 platform application by
application to meet specific customer needs across healthcare, aerospace, automotive
and durable goods industries.
