Item 2.02          Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

The following information is furnished pursuant to Item 2.02, “Results of Operations and Financial Condition.” On November 3, 2005, 3D Systems Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release setting forth the Company’s results of operations for its third quarter ended September 30, 2005. A copy of the Company’s press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated into this Item 2.02 by this reference. The information in this Item (and in such press release) shall not be treated as filed for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Item 2.05          Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On November 3, 2005, the Company announced a plan to move its corporate headquarters, principal R&D activities and all other key corporate support functions into a new facility that it plans to construct and lease in Rock Hill, South Carolina. The Company intends to establish an initial base of operations in Rock Hill and commence local operations there by the end of 2005, and it expects to complete the move to the new Rock Hill facility by September 30, 2006. This facility is to be constructed according to the Company’s specifications, and the Company expects to lease it under a 15-year operating lease.

As a part of this move, the Company plans to close its current headquarters and R&D facility in Valencia, California and its facility in Grand Junction, Colorado. However, the Company plans to maintain an Advanced Research facility in Valencia, California to focus on developing future technologies for next-generation products.

A copy of the November 3, 2005 press release announcing these plans is attached as Exhibit 99.2 hereto and is incorporated into this Item 2.05 by this reference. Additional information regarding these plans can be found in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 3, 2005.
