3D Systems Corporation engages in the design, development, manufacture, marketing, and support of solid imaging systems and related materials, worldwide. Its solid imaging technologies are used to generate product concept models, functional prototypes, master patterns for tooling, and end-use production parts for direct and indirect manufacturing. The company offers the MJM (multijet modeling) product line; the SLA (stereolithography apparatus) product line; the SLS (selective laser sintering) product line; the DCM (direct composite manufacturing) product line; and the Accura material line, which provides a range of prototype and manufacturing materials utilized by its MJM, SLA, and SLS systems. These systems utilize patented stereolithography, selective laser sintering, direct composite manufacturing, and 3-D printing processes to fabricate physical objects using input from CAD/CAM software, or 3-D scanning and sculpting devices. 3D Systems' customers use its solid imaging systems and solutions to streamline part making, prototyping, and manufacturing processes; verify product designs; create functional parts; generate production-quality samples or final parts; direct manufacture end-use parts; and create tooling used to manufacture end-use parts. Its customers include major corporations in a range of industries, including manufacturers of automotive, aerospace, computer, electronic, consumer, telecommunication, appliance, footwear, toy, power tool, medical, and dental products. The company also sells to independent service bureaus that, for a fee, provide solid imaging services to their customers, and to government agencies and universities. One of the company's competitors is DSM Desotech, Inc. In September 2003, the company named Abe Reichental to be president and chief executive officer.
