Summary: Solidscape Announces 32nd ModelMaker™ Installed at Interpore Cross International

May 29, 2002 (Merrimack, NH) - Solidscape, Inc., a leading provider of precision Rapid Pattern Making Systems, announced that the Company installed the 32nd of its ModelMaker™ RP systems in the production facility of Interpore Cross International.

Interpore Cross is a medical device company with a complementary combination of spinal implant and orthobiologic technologies. The ModelMaker™ systems are used to produce the GEO™ Structure Vertebral Body Replacement implants for which FDA clearance was recently received. This spinal implant device is a latticed structure that comes in a variety of shapes and sizes.

"We evaluated a number of the RP systems available and determined the Solidscape technology to be the only system on the market capable of fabricating investment casting patterns that met the dimensional tolerances our products required", said R. Park Carmon, Vice President of Operations. "Application of advanced rapid prototype equipment to deliver production quantities is a good example of the innovative approach Interpore is taking to bring new products to the spinal market. The Solidscape system made that application possible."

David Bothwell, President and CEO of Solidscape, said that he is extremely pleased to see the Company's technology being used in the production of such leading edge medical applications. "Solidscape's PatternMaster and ModelMaker II systems deliver intricate feature detail, dimensional accuracy and a superior surface finish which make them ideal for the medical industry. Having thirty-two systems in operation running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at Interpore Cross is a testimonial to the applicability of Solidscape's technology in the important area of medical science. We believe that this is the largest installation of RP equipment used in a rapid manufacturing application in the world. I am confident that other leading medical companies will be incorporating Solidscape systems in such dynamic medical research and production in the very near future."

Solidscape, Inc., a privately held company, manufactures the ModelMaker™ and PatternMaster™ systems at their facility at 316 Daniel Webster Highway, Merrimack, NH 03054 USA.
