Israel - May 25, 2009 - Solido, the technological leader in desktop 3D printing of physical models is raising the bar again. The cost-effective, time-efficient and intuitive SD300, already installed in hundreds of sites, gave higher meaning to the price/performance equation. Now the SD300 Pro, soon to be revealed, will be introduced at less than $10,000

Solido's intensive research in design and production on the new SD300 Pro will make printing of 3D models from a desktop affordable for every business. Company sources reveal that the SD300 Pro will be unveiled at the PTC Forum in Orlando in June 2009. The convention in Orlando will celebrate PTC's 20th anniversary and a large gathering is expected. Solido will showcase the most affordable, high performance 3D printer yet at booth 423.

"As pioneers of a new and affordable price category, we believe we are launching a new era of applications. 3D desktop printers will be used extensively by creative professionals beyond what has been realized to date. Our printers are unique in that they carry no hidden costs. They will be, in every sense, the first available printers at such a price" affirms Itzik Marchand, Solido CEO.

SD300 Pro Snapshot The SD300 Pro uses layers of firm but flexible engineered plastics. The finished models highly resemble injected plastic parts and can be drilled, sanded, or painted as desired. Output from the SD300 Pro can be designed to fold, allowing for the benefit of model manipulation. Furthermore, the SD300 Pro is capable of producing transparent models-a truly unique feat.
