been awaiting – an easy-to-use, plug-and-play, economical model-maker that
expedites part delivery and revolutionizes concept design as we know it,” said
Abe Reichental, 3D Systems’ president and chief executive officer. “With the
capability to create high-quality, ready-to-use, three-dimensional models in the
office, home or school setting, and the affordability of this solution, we
believe that this modeler will usher in a new expansion era of Rapid Prototyping
to a broader range of market applications.”
