Incorporated in 1993, 3D Systems is a global provider of 3D printing solutions, including 3D printers, print materials (proprietary and third-party sourced), and cloud sourced custom parts. 3D Systems' products and services are used to rapidly design, create, communicate, plan, guide, prototype or produce functional parts, devices, and assemblies. 3D Systems aims to drive the adoption of large-scale custom manufacturing solutions, including the printing of highly complex end-use parts in a variety of aerospace, defense, automotive and healthcare applications worldwide; and to democratize 3D printing solutions by extending the range of affordable 3D printing solutions to the engineer's desktop, classroom,... more.

We have 9 objects that 3D Systems has been involved with.

A 3D printed hand prosthetic in the form of a glove-like assistive device on a white background. The device and it’s other smaller components are in black. It has four fingers and an opening for the thumb area. The part for the fleshy mass on the palm, also known as the Thenar, breaks the solid black enclosure with a perforated design. The device extends from the palm to the wrist area, connected by several strings attached on punctures. The wrist plate is similarly designed to a thick open bangle.

A white, prosthetic leg. Thigh area has slats, as do the calf and ankle. Small, diamond-like perforations appear throughout, including at the knee and shin.

An assistive device in the form of a forearm prosthesis in black. It is in a non-traditional design with cues from decorative and fashion jewelry. The palm area is geometric in shape and has details cut in triangles and squares. The device extends to the wrist, followed by thin wires breaking the solid object into something see-through. The arm plates have circular punctures on the sides where a red ribbon is sewn through, creating a corset effect.
