| | Founded in 1986, with the invention of the first Stereolithography Rapid Prototyping system, 3D Systems has grown into a global company delivering advanced solid imaging solutions to every major market around the world.
These solutions – three-dimensional part-building systems and engineered materials – reduce the time and cost of designing products and facilitate direct and indirect manufacturing. By helping our customers improve their bottom line, our solid imaging solutions enable our customers to develop and maintain a sustained competitive advantage.
Our family of 3-D Modelers, Stereolithography (SLA®) and Selective Laser Sintering (SLS®) Systems is used to generate product concept models, precision and functional prototypes, master patterns for tooling, and end-use parts. Through Direct Digital Manufacturing and an Additive Manufacturing process, these prototypes and end-use parts are build on our systems within hours directly from CAD files (.STL format). | |
