SOLIGEN TECHNOLOGIES TO SELL DSPC MACHINE
TO SPECIFIC SURFACE CORPORATION

Northridge, CA -- July 8, 1997 -- Soligen Technologies, Inc. (AMEX:SGT.EC) today announced that it has agreed to sell a Direct Shell Production Casting (DSPC®) machine to Specific Surface Corporation, a manufacturer of proprietary ceramic filters for the air pollution control market. "Specific Surface uses our DSPC machine to produce proprietary ceramic air filters, made directly from CAD files", explained Yehoram Uziel, CEO of Soligen Technologies, Inc.

Soligen holds the exclusive worldwide license for 3D-Printing for the field of metal casting, whereas Specific Surface Corporation holds the worldwide license exclusively for ceramic air filter manufacturing. "We consider Specific Surface to be a "sister" company, in that we both have developed revolutionary products that are based on the MIT 3D-PrintingTM technology", continued Mr. Uziel. Soligen's DSPC, which is based on 3D-Printing, is a proprietary fabrication process for metal parts that produces ceramic molds for metal casting directly from a CAD file.

Specific Surface manufactures a range of ceramic TaperfloTM filters for the removal of particulates from hot gas streams. Its Taperflo filters not only reduce air pollution but also allow for more efficient energy recovery from combustion processes in power and industrial plants. These relatively small filters can replace larger conventional ceramic air filters that purify that same volume of air. Specific Surface relies on the MIT technology and DSPC machines to incorporate advanced design elements that maximize filter surface area. "As the use of their proprietary filters proliferates in the air pollution control market, Soligen plans to sell Specific Surface Corporation more DSPC machines," concluded Uziel.

Soligen employs its DSPC technology to offer a contiguous line, called Parts Now®, from the engineer's CAD file to the mass production line for complex cast metal parts. By combining three key production elements: DSPC technology, conventional casting methods and Computerized Numerical Control (CNC) machining practices, the Company has created the first "one-stop-shop" for functional metal parts that are made directly from a CAD file in record time that are ready for assembly.
