Investor presentation Making every CAD model 3D printable November 2012
3DMTP Introduction 3DMTP is a revolutionary cloud-based software service that automatically, efficiently and economically transforms 3D designs, into scalable and 3D printable model files with little or no human intervention. 3DMTP has been focusing on architectural models for proof of concept but may have applications in many industries including Design, Industrial Engineering, Biotechnology, Automotive, Aerospace, Defense, Engineering and many others. 3DMTP will transform the growing 3D printing industry by eliminating the pre-printing costly and time consuming "manual fixes required by current technologies.
Have you ever tried to visualize a plan?
1,650,000* Architects,Interior Designers and Civil Engineers, world wide, are using hand made scale models to communicate their vision to their customers/colleagues. Current models are: Expensive - $ 1000 to $20,000 Slow - takes several weeks to built Inaccurate- depend on modeler * No's in US according to Department of Labor. Projection to world wide estimates are according to AutoCAD world distribution.

3DMTP changes the game Current Models With 3D MTP services Cost $1000 to $20,000 Hundreds of $ Time Within weeks Within hours Accuracy Inaccurate Accurate 3D printing market size Limited Unlimited potential
The Economist Wholers Report It is impossible to foresee the long-term impact of 3D printing. But the technology is coming, and it is likely to disrupt every field it touches. Companies, regulators and entrepreneurs should start thinking about it now. (published - 2011) Wohlers Associates expect the industry to continue its strong double-digit growth over the next several years and conservatively forecasts industry-wide growth to be $3.1 billion by 2016 and $5.2 billion by 2020.
Business Insider
Big players forecast: 3D Systems 3D printing technology promises to be as big as the steam engine was in its day, as big as the computer was in its day, as big as the internet was in its day. 3D printing provides the way to democratize manufacturing. With this technology, the one-person garage entrepreneur can be given the same level of productive capabilities as a large corporation. Abe Reichental, President and CEO, 3D Systems Financial Times July 5, 2012
Big players forecast: Stratasys We continue to believe a worldwide market exist for over 500,000 3D printers to serve the installed base of million of 3D CAD users and that this potential will grow over time with the growth of 3D CAD, given that a significant number of designers, engineers and especially architects are migrating to 3D CAD design tools. S. Scott Crump, Chairman and CEO, Stratasys
Big players forecast: "Three-D printing is already a game changer for professionals," says Carl Bass, CEO of Autodesk, which makes 3-D design software. "It will become a game changer for consumers. And if the collaborative spirit of the web prevails, it may change the game for many manufacturers and designers too.
The challenges Many problems of unprintable thickness are created in the process of scaling down models from real-world scale to printed model size.
The challenges Models often contain a host of problems such as non 'watertight' objects, gaps, inverted normals, non-volumetric geometry, unprintable small features and many other issues of degenerated geometry. This is especially true for architecture and other design models
The solution Our patented algorithm based technology enables us to study the geometric structure of the model, identify and automatically fix problems without many costly and time consuming manual fixes
How does it work? The software is able to "look" at object to be printed taking into account the printer type, desired scale, and other parameters. The file is adjusted accordingly and the result is transformed 3D file that can be printed automatically, quickly and at a lower cost compared to currently available technologies
The 3DMTP edge Automated solution for making every architectural model 3D printable Robust solution already deployed within leading 3D printing service bureaus Affordable 3D printing of architectural and other models Faster automatic processing allow preparing more models in less time Scalable solution allows to fix and print more 3D models Easy to use tools to view, process and monitor jobs from any computer
3D MTP Technology A cloud-based Software-as-Service offering that enables 3D printing of any architectural plan automatically, easily, faster and at a lower cost. Removes the need for manual fixes and enables high scalability of 3D printing solutions. Innovative, patent-granted algorithms and cloud based platform.

3D MTP allows the architect to view the model before printing and than make changes such as: scaling, cutting, remove or add elements, sectioning, etc. This viewer adopts automatically any model to any 3D printer.
3D MTP has developed a working platform. Implemented beta testing worldwide. Successfully processed over 2,500 models. Major 3D printer manufacturers, including Stratasys, Objet and 3D Systems (Z-Corp), and leading U.S. based service providers are evaluating 3D MTP s technology.
plan Direct marketing priorities: Convert major service bureaus Currently serve many Architects with hand made scale models and manual 3D print fixes. Convert top 100 offices. Enable use across the entire architects, engineers and interior designers community. Business development priorities: Bundle with 3D printer manufacturers software. Integrate into leading 3D software.
