                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                                   (Unaudited)

(1)  Basis of  Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of 3D Systems
     Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") are prepared in accordance
     with instructions to Form 10-Q and, in the opinion of management, include
     all material adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals)
     which are necessary for the fair presentation of results for the interim
     periods. The Company reports its interim financial information on a 13-week
     basis ending the last Friday of each quarter, and reports its annual
     financial information through the calendar year ended December 31. These
     unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
     with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included
     in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
     1999. The results of the six month period ended June 30, 2000 are not
     necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

(2)  Significant Accounting Policies

     In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
     Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements"
     (SAB 101), which provides additional guidance in applying generally
     accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in the financial
     statements. The Company has evaluated the provisions of SAB 101 and
     believes its impact on the Company's revenue recognition policy is
     immaterial.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                         June 30, 2000 and July 2, 1999
                                   (Unaudited)

(5)  Interest income and interest and other expense

     This primarily consists of interest income, interest expense and other
     expenses related to investment and leasing activities.

(6)  Employee Stock Purchase Plan

     In May 1998, the Company established the 1998 Employee Stock Purchase
     Plan to provide eligible employees the opportunity to acquire limited
     amounts of the Company's common stock. Under the plan, participants
     will receive options to purchase shares, which are exercisable no later
     than one year from the date of grant. The exercise price of each option
     will be the lesser of (I) 85% of the fair market value of the shares on
     the date the option is granted or (II) 85% of the fair market value of
     shares on the last day of the period during which the option is
     outstanding. An aggregate of 600,000 shares of common stock have been
     reserved for issuance under the plan. As of June 30, 2000, 107,264
     shares have been purchased through this plan.

     In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,
     Earnings Per Share, basic net income (loss) per share is computed by
     dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of
     common stock outstanding during the period. Dilutive net income (loss)
     per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted
     average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the number of
     additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all
     dilutive potential common shares had been issued. Potential common
     shares related to stock options and stock warrants are excluded from
     the computation when their effect is antidilutive.

     The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of
     the basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) computations for the six
     month periods ended June 30, 2000 and July 2, 1999 (in thousands):

     ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
     financial statements and notes thereto included in Item 1 of this Quarterly
     Report and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto,
     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial
     Condition, and Cautionary Statements and Risk Factors contained in the
     Company's SEC report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.

     Except for the historical information contained herein, the following
     discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
     uncertainties. The Company's future results could differ materially from
     those discussed herein. Factors that could cause or contribute to these
     differences include, but are not limited to: the ability of the Company to
     contain costs, increase recurring revenue, maintain gross revenues at a
     level necessary to maintain gross profit margins, the availability and
     acceptance of products, the impact of competitive products and pricing,
     dependence on key personnel and suppliers, industry-wide domestic and
     international economic conditions and other risks detailed in the Company's
     SEC report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999 under the
     section entitled "Cautionary Statements and Risk Factors."

     OVERVIEW

     We develop, manufacture and market worldwide solid imaging systems designed
     to rapidly produce physical objects from the digital output of solid or
     surface data from computer aided design and manufacturing ("CAD/CAM") and
     related computer systems. Our systems include SLA-Registered Tradmark-
     systems and ThermoJet -TM- solid object printers.

     SLA industrial systems use our proprietary stereolithography ("SL")
     technology, a solid imaging process which uses a laser beam to expose and
     solidify successive layers of photosensitive epoxy resin until the desired
     object is formed to precise specifications in epoxy or acrylic resin.
     SL-produced parts can be used for concept models, engineering prototypes,
     patterns and masters for molds, consumable tooling, and short-run
     manufacturing of final product, among other applications. ThermoJet solid
     object printers employ hot melt ink jet technology to build models in
     successive layers using our proprietary thermoplastic material. These
     printers, about the size of an office copier, are designed for operation in
     engineering and design office environments. The ThermoJet solid object
     printer output can be used as patterns and molds, and when combined with
     other secondary processes, can produce parts with representative end-use
     properties.

     Our customers include major corporations in a broad range of industries
     including manufacturers of automotive, aerospace, computer, electronic,
     consumer, and medical products. Our revenues are generated by product and
     service sales. Product sales are comprised of sales of systems and related
     equipment, materials, software and other component parts, as well as
     rentals of systems. Service sales include revenues from a variety of
     on-site maintenance services, customer training, services provided by our
     Technology Centers and licensing of 3D Keltool-Registered Tradmark- process
     and support services.

     During the quarter ended June 30, 2000 we continued to show improvements in
     several areas due to the operating plan put in place in the fourth quarter
     of 1999. As a result of increased recurring revenues, particularly
     materials, and increases in units sales, overall revenue improved
     considerably over the prior year. We also secured contracts for multi-unit
     sales of SLA and ThermoJet systems which positively impacted our results in
     the first half and are expected to provide ongoing benefit through the end
     of the year. These sales and marketing efforts, in addition to strict cost
     controls, have resulted in overall increased revenue, significant
     improvements in gross profits, reduced operating expenses and increased
     profitability.

     For the remainder of 2000, we will continue to focus on multi-unit sales of
     our higher end SLA systems, selling and marketing efforts relating to our
     lower end SLA systems and ThermoJet printers, and continued cost
     containment efforts, all of which will provide significant opportunities
     for increased profitability. These are forward-looking statements and, as
     with other such statements, are subject to uncertainties. For example, the
     exact timing of customer requirements, competitive selling and pricing
     issues, requirements for continued development of systems and materials,
     and the ineffectiveness of cost containment efforts may negatively impact
     our revenue and profitability objectives.

     THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTH PERIOD
     ENDED JULY 2, 1999.

     SALES. Sales during the three month period ended June 30, 2000, (the
     "second quarter of 2000") were $25.4 million, an 18.4% increase from the
     $21.5 million recorded during the three month period ended July 2, 1999
     (the "second quarter of 1999").

     Product sales of $18.6 million were recorded for the second quarter of
     2000, an increase of 31.0% compared to $14.2 million for the second quarter
     of 1999. The increase in product sales is due primarily to the growth in
     revenue for systems and related equipment of $3.3 million or 38.6% and an
     increase in material revenues over the prior year's quarter of $1.0 million
     or 22.9%. The increase in system revenue is attributable to sales of the
     higher end SLA industrial systems and ThermoJet solid object printers. We
     expect these trends to continue throughout the remainder of 2000. This is a
     forward-looking statement and is subject to uncertainties. For example, the
     exact timing of customer requirements and the extended procurement cycle of
     large dollar capital purchases in certain companies may significantly
     impact product sales in future quarters.

     The increase in material revenue is derived from an increase in the
     installed base of machines and a stronger emphasis on recurring revenue
     related to the sale of materials derived from post-installation sales. We
     expect both of these trends to continue through the remainder of 2000. This
     is a forward-looking statement and, as with other such statements, is
     subject to uncertainties. For example, the introduction and related pricing
     of competitive systems and materials may negatively impact the growth rate
     of recurring revenue.

     System orders and resultant sales may fluctuate on a quarterly basis as a
     result of a number of other factors, including world economic conditions,
     fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, acceptance of new products
     and the timing of product shipments. Due to the price of certain systems
     and the overall low unit volumes, the acceleration or delay of shipments of
     a small number of high end SLA systems from one quarter to another can
     significantly affect the results of operations for the quarters involved.

     Service sales during the second quarter of 2000 totaled $6.8 million, a
     decrease of 6.1% from the second quarter of 1999 of $7.3 million. The
     decrease is primarily due to the impact of improved system reliability and
     continued competitive pricing pressure on maintenance contracts, especially
     for our lower end machines, and multi-tiered pricing introduced in April,
     1999 in response to these competitive pressures. We are taking steps with
     targeted sales and marketing activities to address the decline in service
     revenue and expect to minimize the potential for any further declines.
     This is a forward-looking statement and, as with other such statements,
     is subject to uncertainties. For example, continued competitive pricing
     pressure related to services provided by third parties may result in
     continued declines in service revenue.

     COST OF SALES. Cost of sales decreased to $13.2 million or 52.1% of sales
     in the second quarter of 2000 from $13.6 million or 63.4% of sales in the
     first quarter of 1999.

     Product cost of sales as a percentage of product sales decreased to 44.2%
     in the first quarter of 2000 from 60.5% in the first quarter of 1999. This
     decrease as a percent of product sales is due primarily to continued
     reduction in manufacturing overhead and component costs, increased
     manufacturing activity relative to our level of fixed overhead expenses,
     and a shift in the sales mix to higher end SLA systems in the second
     quarter of 2000 as compared to the second quarter of 1999, all of which
     positively impacted the overall product cost of sales as a percent of
     product revenue.

     Service cost of sales as a percentage of service sales increased to 73.6%
     in the second quarter of 2000 from 69.2% for the second quarter of 1999.
     This is due to a decrease in service revenue from the second quarter of
     1999 to the second quarter of 2000. In conjunction with our activities to
     minimize any further decreases in service revenues and to control service
     costs, we expect the service cost of sales as a percent of service revenue
     to improve through the end of the year. This is a forward-looking statement
     and, as with other such statements, is subject to uncertainties. For
     example, continued declines in our service revenues without immediate
     adjustments to our cost structure could result in the service cost of sales
     as a percent of the service revenue to increase.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
     administrative expenses ("SG&A") decreased $1.5 million or 16.9% in the
     second quarter of 2000 compared to the second quarter of 1999. The decrease
     was primarily the result of cost reductions associated with the operating
     plan adopted in late 1999, more focused selling and marketing efforts and
     costs associated with the launch of new products in the second quarter of
     1999.

     RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses during
     the second quarter of 2000 decreased $0.3 million or 13.3% to $2.1 million
     compared to $2.4 million in the second quarter of 1999. This is a result of
     more focused engineering efforts on specific development projects and
     reduced costs as a result of the introduction of new products in early
     1999. Research and development expenses as a percent of total revenue were
     8.3% in the second quarter of 2000 compared to 11.3% in the second quarter
     of 1999. Based on the Company's historical expenditures related to research
     and development and its current development objectives, the Company
     anticipates for the foreseeable future that research and development
     expenses will be equal to approximately 8% of sales. This is a
     forward-looking statement, however, and as with any such statement, is
     subject to uncertainties. For example, if total sales of the Company for
     any particular period exceed the anticipated sales of the Company for that
     period, research and development expenses as a percentage of sales may fall
     below 8%.

     OTHER. Other expenses totaled $2.2 million in the second quarter of 1999.
     No such costs were incurred in the second quarter of 2000. The costs
     incurred in 1999 related to litigation and settlement costs and
     non-recurring charges associated with certain employee costs.

     INCOME (LOSS) FROM OPERATIONS. Operating income for the second quarter of
     2000 was $2.8 million or 11.1% of revenue compared to an operating loss of
     $5.5 million or 25.6% of revenue in the second quarter of 1999. The
     improvement is attributable to increased revenue, decreased costs related
     to our manufacturing operations, decreased system costs and reduced
     operating expenses.

     SIX MONTH PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTH PERIOD ENDED
     JULY 2, 1999.

     SALES. Sales for the six month period ended June 30, 2000 (the "first half
     of 2000") were $48.4 million, a 9.7% increase from the $44.1 million for
     the six month period ended July 2, 1999 (the "first half of 1999").

     Product sales for the first half of 2000 of $34.3 million increased 16.3%
     from $29.5 million in the first half of 1999. The increase in product sales
     over the prior year is due primarily to increased sales of systems and
     related equipment of $1.8 million or 9.0% and an increase in material
     revenues of $2.9 million or 33.9%. The increase in machine sales results
     from increased sales of the higher end SLA industrial systems and ThermoJet
     solid object printers. We expect these trends to continue throughout the
     remainder of 2000. This is a forward-looking statement and is subject to
     uncertainties. For example, the exact timing of customer requirements and
     the extended procurement cycle of large dollar capital procurement in
     certain companies may significantly impact product sales in future
     quarters.

     The increase in material revenue is derived from an increase in the
     installed base of machines and a stronger emphasis on recurring revenue
     related to the sale of materials derived from post-installation sales. We
     expect both of these trends to continue through the remainder of 2000. This
     is a forward-looking statement and, as with other such statements, is
     subject to uncertainties. For example, the introduction and related pricing
     of competitive systems and materials may negatively impact the growth rate
     of recurring revenue.

     Service sales during the first half of 2000 totaled $14.2 million, a
     decrease of 3.5% or $0.5 million from the first half of 1999. The decrease
     is primarily due to the impact of improved system reliability and continued
     competitive pricing pressure on maintenance contracts, especially for our
     lower end machines, and the resultant multi-tiered pricing introduced in
     April, 1999. We are taking steps with regard to targeted sales and
     marketing activities to address the decline in service revenue and expect
     to minimize the potential for any further declines as a result of these
     activities. This is a forward-looking statement and, as with other such
     statements, is subject to uncertainties. For example, continued competitive
     pricing pressure related to services provided by third parties may result
     in continued declines in service revenue.

     COST OF SALES. Cost of sales decreased to $25.5 million or 52.6% of sales
     in the first half of 2000 from $27.1 million or 61.4% of sales in the first
     half of 1999.

     Product cost of sales as a percentage of product sales decreased to 44.3%
     in the first half of 2000 compared to 58.1% in the first half of 1999. This
     decrease as a percent of product sales is due primarily to continued
     reduction in manufacturing overhead and component costs, increased
     manufacturing activity relative to our level of fixed overhead expenses,
     and a shift in the sales mix to higher end SLA systems in the second
     quarter of 2000 as compared to the second quarter of 1999, all of which
     positively impacted the overall product cost of sales as a percent of
     product revenue.

     Service cost of sales as a percentage of service sales increased to 72.6%
     in the first half of 2000 from 68.0% in the first half of 1999. This is due
     to overall decreases in service revenue from the first half of 1999 to the
     first half of 2000. In conjunction with our activities to minimize any
     further decreases in service revenues and to control service costs, we
     expect the service cost of sales as a percent of service revenue to improve
     through the end of the year. This is a forward-looking statement and, as
     with other such statements, is subject to uncertainties. For example,
     continued declines in our service revenues without immediate adjustments to
     our cost structure could result in the service cost of sales as a percent
     of the service revenue to increase.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE. Selling, general and
     administrative ("S,G&A") expenses decreased $4.4 million or 23.1% in the
     first half of 2000 compared to the first half of 1999. The decrease was
     primarily the result of cost reduction benefits associated with the
     operating plan adopted in late 1999, more focused selling and marketing
     efforts and high costs associated with the launch of new products in the
     first half of 1999. In addition, in 1999 the Company incurred S,G&A costs
     associated with the sale of its St. Paul, Minnesota 3D Keltool insert
     operations and legal expenses associated with the protection of certain
     patents owned by the Company.

     RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses during
     the first half of 2000 decreased $0.9 million or 18.4% to $4.0 million
     compared to $4.9 million the first half of 1999. This is a result of more
     focused engineering efforts on specific development projects and the
     introduction of new products in early 1999. Research and development
     expenses as a percentage of total revenue was 8.2% in the first half of
     2000 compared to 11.0% in the first half of 1999. Based on the Company's
     historical expenditures related to research and development and its current
     development objectives, the Company anticipates for the foreseeable future
     that research and development expenses will be equal to approximately 8% of
     sales. This is a forward looking statement and, as with any such statement,
     is subject to uncertainties. For example, if total sales of the Company for
     any particular period exceed the anticipated sales of the Company for that
     period, research and development expenses as a percentage of sales may fall
     below 8%.

     OTHER. Other expenses totaled $2.2 million in the first half of 1999. No
     such costs were incurred in the first half of 2000. The costs incurred in
     1999 related to litigation and settlement costs and non-recurring charges
     associated with certain employee costs.

     INCOME (LOSS) FROM OPERATIONS. Operating income for the first half of 2000
     was $4.4 million or 9.1% of revenue versus an operating loss of $9.0
     million or 20.3% of total revenue in the first half of 1999. The
     improvement is primarily attributable to increased revenue, decreased costs
     related to our manufacturing operations, decreased system costs and reduced
     operating expenses.

     increase in deferred revenues of $1.3 million offset by an increase in
     inventory of $7.4 million and changes in various other current asset and
     current liability accounts.

     In the first half of 1999, the use of cash for operating activities of $4.7
     million primarily resulted from the effects of the non-cash depreciation
     and amortization charges of $2.7 million, decrease in lease receivables of
     $5.1 million due to the sale of several leases, increase in other
     liabilities of $2.5 million and changes in various other current asset and
     current liability accounts. These were offset by the net loss of $6.2
     million, increase in deferred income taxes of $1.4 million, increase in
     accounts receivable of $3.4 million, increase in inventories of $3.1
     million and decrease in deferred revenues of $1.5 million.

     Net cash used for investing activities during the first half of 2000
     totaled $1.3 million and was primarily the result of net additions to
     property and equipment and additions to license and patents. Net cash used
     for investing activities in the first half of 1999 totaled $4.2 million and
     resulted from the net additions to property and equipment, additions to
     license and patents, and the net proceeds from short-term investments.

     Net cash provided by financing activities during the first half of 2000
     totaled $2.8 million and was primarily the result of the exercise of stock
     options.

     Subsequent to June 30, 2000, we entered into a $10 million line of
     credit facility (the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility will allow
     3D Systems Inc., a subsidiary of 3D Systems Corporation, to borrow funds as
     needed for working capital purposes based on a percentage of eligible (as
     defined) accounts receivable and inventory held by 3D Systems Inc. The
     Credit Facility has a term of three years and is collateralized by the
     accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment and other assets
     held by 3D Systems Inc.

     We believe that funds generated from operations and available under the
     Credit Facility will be sufficient to satisfy our anticipated working
     capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. From time to time,
     we consider the acquisition of businesses, products or technologies
     complementary to our current business, although we have no current
     commitments or agreements with respect to any such transactions. Should
     we decide to pursue such a transaction, we may need to borrow additional
     funds.

     We assigned a team to address the issues raised by the introduction of the
     Single European Currency ("Euro") for initial implementation as of January
     1, 1999 and the transition period through to January 1, 2002. We have
     completed the modifications to our internal systems that will be affected
     by the initial introduction and transition period. We do not expect that
     the introduction and use of the Euro as a single currency will materially
     affect our foreign exchange position or result in any material increase in
     cost to us.

     ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     The information required hereunder for the Company is not significantly
     different from the information set forth in Item 7a Quantitative and
     Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk included in the 1999 Form 10-K
     and is therefore not presented herein.

     ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

     On May 2, 2000, we held the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The following

     hold office for three years and until their respective successors have been
     elected and the voting results of the approval to amend the Company's 1996
     Stock Incentive Plan.
