| 3D Systems Supports Tangible Express 3D Systems has agreed to support Tangible Express of Springville, Utah with its new and innovative fractional ownership program. Tangible Express has adopted a business model that has been used successfully in fractional business jet ownership to develop the Tangible Alliance Program. This new program enables customers to purchase from Tangible Express a fraction of a 3D Systems' Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing System based on the customer's anticipated annual system utilization and parts demand. Customers can purchase single or multiple fractions in 3D Systems' equipment owned and operated by Tangible Express, which includes 3D Systems entire Additive Manufacturing Technologies' portfolio, at prices well below the cost of a single system. Tangible Express operates the system, provides maintenance, builds and ships parts in accordance with its TAP fractional owners' requirements. Under this collaborative arrangement, 3D Systems will support Tangible Express' Tangible Alliance Program with promotional marketing and other product and technical support activities. To fuel the anticipated growth of this exciting program, Tangible Express recently ordered 10 more 3D Systems' stereolithography and selective laser sintering systems. To accommodate the arrival of its expanded fleet of 3D Systems machines and to be able to offer broader materials selection and faster turn around service for its customers, Tangible Express just relocated into a new, larger state-of-the-art facility. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Computing News :: home page |
