                  3D SYSTEMS ANNOUNCES EUROPEAN OPERATIONS TEAM

VALENCIA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 18, 1999--3D Systems Corp. (Nasdaq:TDSC
- - news) today announced its newly formed European operations team headed by
Grant Flaharty, vice president and general manager of 3D Systems Europe.

As part of the company's reorganization, it was previously announced that the
European operation would become a single business entity, with corporate and
branch offices in various countries. To this effect, the European operations
will now have headquarters in the United Kingdom, with individual subsidiaries
in Germany, France and Italy. Spain will become a representative office of the
United Kingdom.

"These changes to the corporate structure will ensure a unified approach to this
exciting and rapidly growing segment of the business," stated Flaharty.

"We have also made changes to our sales organization to recognize two distinct
focuses -- the more mature markets in Germany, the U.K. and Italy; and secondly,
the emerging markets," he continued. Oliver Edelmann, director of Sales, and
Robert Baumgartner, vice president of Emerging Markets, will assume leadership
over these respective critical markets.

Customer service needs in the various regions throughout Europe, the Middle
East, India, Africa and South America will be addressed by Harald Kessler, in
the newly created position of director of European Field Services and Central
Operations. Peter Samra, formerly the operations director for the Northern
Region, will assume a new role as the director of European Operations.

In addition, Michael Cohen will assume the newly created position of director of
European Commerce and Finance. This organization will include Europe's sales
order administration, imports, customs and daily operations.

Human resource activities, which had previously been operating on a
country-by-country basis, will now be handled by Sabine Griesheimer, European
Human Resources manager.

"The new infrastructure takes into consideration the growth within the European
region over the past two years, and the anticipated growth in the year 2000 and
beyond," said Flaharty. "The formation of this team will allow us to focus our
resources across the European markets and organizations, along with supporting
our customers and employees."

Under Flaharty's direction, the marketing team intends to enhance business
development through integrated business solutions and enhancing customer
relationships.
