ROCK HILL, S.C., March 7, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 3D Systems Corporation (NYSE:DDD) announced today that in preparation for the launch of its first ever plug-and-play at home 3D Printer Cube™, it is taking Cube™ 3D printers out on the road – in a customized Nissan Cube® car - for a Cube Odyssey across the country. In order to include its growing Cubify™ community in this experience, the company is launching a nation-wide search for 3D-minded, adventurous drivers through a video contest on its Cubify™ blog (http://cubify.com/blog/the-cube-odyssey-begins/) and Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/cubify), where the community will vote and pick the winners.
The Cube Odyssey will hit over 25 of the hottest and most creative cities in the country with visits to venues like Stanford's Cool Product Expo, Scholastic-affiliated schools, children's museums, and even national parks and landmarks like Yellowstone. With 24 hour printing on the go and live web streams, the Odyssey drivers will be blogging daily and posting on Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr. Expect to see Cube™ printers at the beach printing surfboards and sitting atop Mt. Rushmore printing America's famous faces.
The company plans a big send-off in Los Angeles in early April, 2012 with its Cube Odyssey sponsors and special events along the way. They invite everyone to stop by and visit at the scheduled stops. More details on the Cube Odyssey, as well as how to submit a video entry, are available at (http://cubify.com/blog/the-cube-odyssey-begins/) and (https://www.facebook.com/cubify).
