Adds Digitalis(R) Rapid Manufacturing Printer to Its Print
                         Engine Portfolio

ROCK HILL, S.C., Nov. 1, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 3D Systems
Corporation (NYSE:DDD) announced today that it acquired from the
Advanced Materials Division of Huntsman Corporation (NYSE:HUN) its
RenShape(R) stereolithography print materials and Digitalis(R) rapid
manufacturing 3D printer product line for $41 million in cash. This
business generated $7 million of annual revenue during 2010, primarily
from sales of RenShape(R) print materials.

Huntsman has been a global provider of RenShape(R) stereolithography, a
portfolio of advanced materials formulated to print durable, robust
parts and prototypes with outstanding accuracy, intricate reproduction
of detail and a high-quality surface finish. These materials complement
3D Systems' product offering and are ideal for printing snap-fit
polypropylene and ABS like parts and selectively colored medical models
on 3D Systems' SLA(R) printers.

Digitalis(R) is a new MEMS (Microelectromechanical systems) rapid
manufacturing printer currently in advanced stages of development and
validation that is capable of manufacturing large numbers of parts
simultaneously at high speed and accuracy.

This acquisition complements 3D Systems' print materials technology and
intellectual property portfolio and adds the Digitalis(R) print engine
to its printer family. 3D Systems plans to integrate these product
lines into its growing rapid manufacturing and healthcare solutions
portfolio. The company expects this acquisition to be immediately
accretive to its net income and contribute favorably to its target
operating model.

"We are pleased to deliver the benefits of Huntsman's complementary
performance print materials and printers to our customers world-wide,"
said Abe Reichental, President and CEO of 3D Systems. "This acquisition
is consistent with our growth strategy, complements our technology and
product portfolio, and is immediately accretive to our target operating
model."
