VALENCIA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 22, 2003--3D Systems Corp. (Nasdaq: TDSCE) announced today that it received a Nasdaq Staff Determination on April 15, 2003, indicating that because it did not timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K, it does not comply with the timely filing requirements for continued listing set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14), and that its securities are subject to delisting from the Nasdaq National Market. 3D Systems has requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel to review the Staff Determination. Under applicable Nasdaq rules, pending a decision by the Listing Qualifications Panel, 3D Systems common stock will continue to trade on Nasdaq.

Effective April 17, 2003, the Nasdaq Stock Market added the letter "E" to the Company's stock symbol because of the delay in filing Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2002.
