Rock Hill, South Carolina – 3D Systems Corporation (NASDAQ: TDSC) announced that it plans to resume its managed phased rollout of its V-Flash® FTI 230 Desktop Modeler following its World Conference this week. The company previously halted shipments of this modeler earlier this year pending resolution of several technical difficulties that affected the modeler’s performance. The company plans to continue with its carefully managed phased rollout plans through the first quarter of 2009 and, pending the successful outcome of this phase, commence full commercial activities for the V-Flash® FTI 230 Desktop Modeler.
