3D Systems has acquired American Precision Prototyping (APP) and sister company American Precision Machining (APM), both providers of rapid prototyping and advanced manufacturing, product development and engineering services, further extending its service bureau operations in the United States. Details of the transaction were not disclosed.

"Headquartered in Tulsa, OK, APP and APM bring over 24 years of combined advanced prototyping and manufacturing service bureau experience to 3D Systems with significant aerospace presence," said a company spokesperson. "Their production capabilities include a strong regional infrastructure and long-term, key relationships with companies in the sector."

"APP and APM bring a wealth of experience and bench strength in both advanced manufacturing and the aerospace industry that is highly complementary to our offerings," said Ziad Abou, Vice President and General Manager, Quickparts for 3D Systems. "This acquisition further enhances our North American capabilities and expertise."

"3D Systems is a recognized leader in advanced manufacturing with an exceptional track record in providing the highest quality parts services globally," said Jason Dickman, President of APP.
