SECTION 1. — CONFLICT MINERALS DISCLOSURE
Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report
Conflict Minerals Disclosure
3D Systems Corporation (“3D
Systems” or the “Company” or “we” or “us”) is a holding company incorporated in Delaware
that operates through subsidiaries in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific region. We market our products and
services in those areas as well as other parts of the world. We provide comprehensive 3D printing solutions, including 3D printers,
materials, software, on demand manufacturing services and digital design tools. Our solutions support advanced applications in
a wide range of industries and key verticals including healthcare, aerospace, automotive and durable goods. Our precision healthcare
capabilities include simulation, Virtual Surgical Planning (“VSP™”), and printing of medical and dental devices,
models, surgical guides and instruments. Our experience and expertise have proven vital to our development of an ecosystem and
end-to-end digital workflow which enable customers to optimize product designs, transform workflows, bring innovative products
to market and drive new business models.
The disclosure on this Form SD for 3D
Systems for the year ended December 31, 2018 is being filed in accordance with Rule 13p-1 (“Rule 13p-1”) and Form SD
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Please refer to Rule 13p-1, Form SD and Release No. 34- 67716 for definitions of the
terms used in this Form SD, unless otherwise defined herein.
Rule 13p-1 was adopted by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to implement reporting and disclosure requirements related to conflict minerals
as directed by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. The rule imposes certain reporting obligations
on SEC registrants whose manufactured products contain conflict minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production
of their products. Conflict minerals are defined as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, wolframite, and their derivatives, which
are limited to tin, tantalum and tungsten, and gold for the purposes of this assessment.
Under SEC regulations, if any
conflict minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of a product manufactured by 3D Systems or contracted by us
to be manufactured, we must conduct in good faith a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) regarding those conflict
minerals that is reasonably designed to determine whether any of the conflict minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of
the Congo or an adjoining country (“Covered Countries”), or are from recycled or scrap sources. If a registrant can
establish that conflict minerals originated from sources other than the Covered Countries, or from recycled and scrap sources,
they must submit a Form SD which describes the RCOI completed.
If a registrant has reason
to believe that any of the conflict minerals in their supply chain may have originated in the Covered Countries, or if they are
unable to determine the country of origin of those conflict minerals, then the issuer must exercise due diligence on the conflict
minerals’ source and chain of custody. The registrant must annually submit a report, Conflict Minerals Report (“CMR”),
to the SEC that includes a description of those due diligence measures.
As part of our reasonable
country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”), 3D Systems reviewed product specifications and undertook an analysis of its product
portfolio to determine whether conflict minerals are present in the raw materials used in its 3D-printing-centric design-to- manufacturing
solutions, including 3D printers, print materials, on-demand custom parts services, sculpting and simulation applications. As a
company in the 3D printing industry, 3D Systems is several levels removed from the actual mining of minerals. 3D Systems does not
directly make purchases of raw ore or unrefined conflict minerals and makes no direct purchases from the Democratic Republic of
the Congo or an adjoining country (“Covered Countries”). We worked with our direct suppliers to identify and trace
their supply chains, with those suppliers in turn seeking similar information within their supply chains to identify the original
sources of necessary conflict minerals. As part of this process, we requested that all direct suppliers of goods that possibly
contain conflict minerals provide information using the template developed by the Responsible Minerals Initiative, known as the
Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the “CMRT”)
Due to the breadth and complexity
of 3D Systems’ products and supply chain, many of our suppliers have not responded with verifications of the origin of materials
supplied to 3D Systems. 3D Systems will continue to seek responses from its suppliers.
Because the origin of conflict
minerals could not be determined at the conclusion of the RCOI, we proceeded to exercise due diligence in accordance with the Organisation
for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected
and High-Risk Areas. The accompanying Conflict Minerals Report describes the results of our due diligence.
The information contained in this Form SD is available free
of charge on our website at www.3dsystems.com. Other information contained in, and that
can be accessed through the website, is not, and shall not be deemed to be, part of this Form SD or incorporated into any other
filings we make with the SEC.

As specified in Section 2 of Form
SD, the Company is hereby filing its Conflict Minerals Report as Exhibit 1.01 to this Form SD.
SECTION 2. — EXHIBITS
