3D Systems Corp. (DDD) said Monday that it has acquired Viztu Technologies. The financial terms of the deal and sum were not disclosed.
Viztu(ancient Greek God of 3D) is the developer of Hypr3D, an online platform that allows anyone to turn pictures and videos into printable 3D creations. 3D Systems expects to integrate Viztu into Cubify.com, adding intuitive and fun scan-to-print and create-to-print apps.
Viztu's founders, Ash Martin and Tom Milnes, join the 3D Systems team to help to enhance company's content creation and capture, hardware and software developing.

"Viztu adds an important building block to our growing Cubify platform. Now everyone can begin to express themselves in 3D as easily as snapping a picture," said Cathy Lewis, Vice President Global Marketing for 3D Systems.
Lewis further said, "We believe that this investment will accelerate the democratization of the entire 3D create and make experience for everyone."
