                      OPINION OF GARVEY, SCHUBERT & BARER

                                  April 11, 1997

Soligen Technologies, Inc.
19408 Londelius Street
Northridge, California 91324

Gentlemen:
        We have acted as counsel for Soligen Technologies, Inc. (the "Company")
in connection with the filing of a registration statement on Form S-3 (the
"Registration Statement") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
covering 17,608,000 shares of common stock (the "Shares") of the Company to be
sold from time to time by certain existing shareholders of the Company (the
"Selling Shareholders").
        We have reviewed those documents, corporate records, and other
instruments we deemed necessary for the purposes of this opinion. As to matters
of fact which have not been independently established, we have relied upon
representations of officers of the Company.

        Based on the foregoing, it is our opinion that, under the corporate
laws of the State of Wyoming, the Shares to be offered and sold by the Selling
Shareholders have been duly authorized under the Certificate of Incorporation
of the Company and, when issued by the Company and sold by the Selling
Shareholders, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable securities
of the Company.

        This opinion is dated as of the date hereof.

        We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the reference to this opinion under Item 5 in
the Registration Statement.

Sincerely,

GARVEY, SCHUBERT & BARER
