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. Today, 3D Systems is the leading provider of solid imaging solutions that 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 solid imaging technologies are used to generate product concept models, precision and functional prototypes, master patterns for tooling, and end-use production parts for direct manufacturing. Our family of system solutions utilize patented, proprietary processes to fabricate physical objects using input from computer-aided design and manufacturing software, or 3-D scanning and sculpting devices. 

 

Combining hardware, software, materials, process, expert customer service and application support, we deliver a tightly integrated value-based solution to our customers. 

 

Experience the Difference 

BUILDING Industry-Leading Brands

3D Systems’ customers rely on us to deliver accurate, high-definition, cost-effective quality physical parts from their digital input quickly and efficiently. From our factory floor to an OEM customer or a service provider, we ensure that our customers enjoy state-of-the-art performance, enabling them to successfully execute their product development and instant manufacturing strategies without the need to invest in expensive tooling, recurring setups, lengthy changeovers and prolonged lead-times. Whether our customers desire faster time to market, shorter time to volume, mass customization, unlimited flexibility or the need for quick reverse engineering, they can count on us to provide them with a comprehensive turn-key expert solution.

 

3D Systems offers a wide range of imaging communication, rapid prototyping, rapid tooling and instant manufacturing system solutions. Our comprehensive family of solutions consist of: the SLA® (stereolithography) product line, the SLS® (selective laser sintering) product line, and the MJM (multi-jet modeling: InVision™ 3-D printer) product line.

 

As part of our integrated systems approach, we develop materials specially designed for use with our systems and processes to produce high-quality models, prototypes and direct parts. Our Accura® solid imaging material line provides a breadth of prototyping and manufacturing materials for all 3D Systems solid imaging systems (including photopolymers, metals, nylons, engineering plastics, and thermoplastics).

 

IMPROVING Our Customers’ Bottom Line

The key to our value proposition is our ability to deliver to our customers on an ongoing basis measurable economic benefit. Bottom line: we exist in order to improve our customers’ bottom-line.

 

It all started with the invention of the first stereolithography rapid prototyping system by our co-founder and CTO Chuck Hull, and our ability to educate and persuade customers to stop using traditional handcrafting or machining methods, and replace it with state of the art solid imaging enabling users to develop and maintain a critical competitive edge. Many customers switched because 3D Systems could prove, through demonstration and testing, the economic benefits that more than offset the added material cost of our SLA system solutions.

 

Our value analysis-selling model was born from this commitment and is the cornerstone of 3D Systems’ sales philosophy. We sell solutions that enhance the bottom-line value of our customers’ operations. Customer relationships are developed and nurtured by our sales, technical field support, applications engineering and customer service professionals, and supported by our manufacturing and development experts. 3D Systems has a worldwide network of 10 facilities servicing our customers’ operations in more than 80 countries. We have the largest direct global sales, service and applications engineering organization in the industry, and we augment, enhance and amplify our presence through our partnerships with quality strategic distributors, and agents to assist in servicing all of our customer needs.

 

DELIVERING Customer-Driven Solutions

From its inception 3D Systems through its talented employees, focused on developing useful customer-driven solutions by creating and nurturing a strong culture of innovation, emphasis on total system development and dedication to professional expertise. This unwavering commitment to advance the state-of-the-art, in combination with the emergence of user-friendly systems, advanced materials, focused field service and applications organization, resulted in greater benefits for our customers.

 

From the beginning, we dedicated ourselves to creating meaningful, innovative solid imaging solutions for our customers. By continuously investing in research and development and broadening our technology platform beyond stereolithography to include selective laser sintering and multi-jet printing (or 3-D printing) we developed a global portfolio of more than 360 patents.

 

Systems solutions, not machines or products alone, address customer needs. Our ability to deliver an integrated system solution enables us to become a valuable partner in our customers’ product development and manufacturing processes. Through this partnership, we develop a deeper understanding of our customers’ operations, which ultimately helps us to continuously develop and deliver new and improved solutions that enhance the value we provide, resulting in mutual trust between us and our customers and long-term relationships.

 

3D Systems attracts and develops experts who are passionate about helping our customers succeed. Our employees are committed to understanding the diverse businesses and operations of our customers around the world. From motorsports in the U.S. to hearing aids in Europe and educational institutions in Asia, our dedicated professionals constantly create and deliver value for our customers through innovative products, systems solutions and expert support.
