31/05/2024 - 3D Systems Corporation: Specialized Disclosure Report - Form SD

Conflict Minerals Report of 3D Systems Corporation

in Accordance with Rule 13p-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

This Conflict Minerals Report of 3D Systems Corporation ("3D Systems" or the "Company" or "we" or "us") for the calendar year ended December 31, 2023 is being filed in accordance with Rule 13p-1 ("Rule 13p-1") of 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 Conflict Minerals Report, unless otherwise defined herein.

3D Systems undertook due diligence intended to determine the conflict minerals status of raw materials used in its 3D-printing-centricdesign-to-manufacturing solutions, including 3D printers and corresponding materials, digitizers, 3D scanners and haptic devices. As described in our accompanying Form SD, we sought information from our direct suppliers, with those suppliers in turn seeking similar information within their supply chains to identify the original sources of necessary conflict minerals.

3D Systems' due diligence measures were based upon, and designed to conform, in all material respects, with the due diligence framework established by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's ("OECD") Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas.

Consistent with the OECD Guidelines, 3D Systems' due diligence measures included:

Step 1. Establish Strong Company Management Systems

We formed a multi-disciplinary conflict mineral working group to oversee compliance with Rule 13p-1 and our responsible sourcing of conflict minerals. This working group includes members of senior management and is responsible for all aspects of our responsible conflict minerals sourcing program. We have also developed a Conflict Minerals Policy and Supplier Code of Conduct (each of which can be found at www.3dsystems.com/make-an-impact) that further reflect our commitment to responsible sourcing of conflict minerals.

Step 2. Identify and Assess Risks in the Supply Chain

To determine whether any conflict minerals used in the manufacturing of components for our products originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country, we retained a third-party service provider to assist us in collecting and reviewing data from our supply chain. With the assistance of the third-party service provider, we engage with our direct suppliers to evaluate the source of conflict minerals in our products. Upon receiving a Conflict Minerals Reporting Template ("CMRT"), it is reviewed for consistency and accuracy. This review also includes checking all identified smelters and refiners against the Responsible Minerals Initiative's ("RMI") Responsible Minerals Assurance Process database (the "RMI Database"). The majority of smelters and refiners identified in our supply chain were listed as compliant with the relevant Responsible Minerals Assurance Process assessment protocols in the RMI Database as of May 6, 2024, as identified on Table A. The smelters and refiners listed in Table A may not be all of the smelters and refiners in our supply chain, since certain suppliers were unable to identify the smelters and refiners of some of the necessary conflict minerals content contained in our products and because not all suppliers responded to our inquiries.

Table B contains an aggregated list of the countries of origin from which the reported smelters and refiners collectively source conflict minerals, based on information provided by suppliers and RMI. Many responses were provided at the company level and, therefore, Table B may contain more countries than those that our products are being sourced from.

From the responses that we received, we identified a small number of smelters that potentially posed a risk due to the presence of some red flag indicators. For suppliers that identified these specific smelters of concern on their CMRT, a new escalation plan is in process.

After exercising due diligence, the country of origin of conflict minerals contained within our products cannot be readily determined at this time. We are unable to determine this information with greater specificity at this time because certain of our direct suppliers were unable to provide the information to us.

Step 3. Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks

We have continued to look for ways to strengthen our conflict minerals compliance program, including the processes outlined above. In addition, we will continue to collaborate with our direct suppliers so that they and we are better able to track the sourcing of conflict minerals with greater precision. To accomplish this objective, we will continue outreach and education efforts among the direct supplier base, particularly with respect to direct suppliers that are unable to provide greater transparency as to their own sourcing practices. We encourage direct suppliers to source, when feasible, from smelters or refiners that are certified as conflict-free by an independent third party, such as RMI.

Step 4. Carry Out Independent Third-Party Audit of Smelter/Refiner's Due Diligence Practices

3D System supports audits of conflict minerals smelters and refiners conducted by third parties, such as RMI.

Step 5. Report Annually on Supply Chain Due Diligence

This report and the related Form SD constitute 3D Systems' annual report on its conflict minerals due diligence and is available free of charge on our website at www.3dsystems.com. Our Conflict Minerals Policy and Supplier Code of Conduct are available at www.3dsystems.com/make-an-impact. Information contained in, and that can be accessed through the website, is not, and shall not be deemed to be, part of this Conflict Minerals Report or incorporated into any other filings we make with the SEC.
