CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Carolina Wholesale Group, parent company of Carolina Wholesale and Arlington Industries, announced they have partnered with 3D Systems (NYSE: DDD) as national distribution partner of 3D Systems' consumer 3D printing products.  Carolina Wholesale and Arlington Industries are now national distributors of the top-selling 3D Systems Cube and CubePro hardware and supplies to their wide network of office products dealers throughout the United States.

"Carolina Wholesale Group has a broad network of office products and imaging resellers that provide a unique fit for 3D Systems products in their portfolio of offerings," states Larry Huneycutt, President of Carolina Wholesale Group.  "We recognize the future is now with 3D printing and believe the rapid innovation of this technology will demand a strong need for a distribution partner such as Arlington and Carolina Wholesale."  CWG plans to market and support the 3D Systems products through both the Arlington Industries and Carolina Wholesale customer groups and intends to host dealer events in the coming months.  They also intend on utilizing their experienced technical support staff to assist dealers in the process of learning this emerging technology.  "We understand that 3D printing is much different than traditional 2D printing," Mr. Huneycutt continues.  "However, we feel our strength has always been the ability to support dealers through our accomplished technical support staff.  We view this as a strength within of our organization and are utilizing these resources to support all new 3D Systems dealers."  Arlington Industries and Carolina Wholesale are launching this partnership with inventory of 3D Systems products in their California, Illinois, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia distribution centers.
