Soligen Taps Autotech to Market its Rapid Metal Casting Technology

    NORTHRIDGE, Calif.--June 5, 2001--Soligen Technologies, Inc., (OTCBB:SGTN) a rapid manufacturer of cast metal parts, today announced an agreement naming Autotech Technology Development, Inc., a subsidiary of Kenmar Corporation, as its Sales and Marketing partner for Automotive and Powertrain applications.
    "We believe that Autotech's knowledge of the North-American automotive design and manufacturing community will prove to be an important asset in Soligen's future growth. As a subsidiary of Kenmar Corporation, this partnership provides Soligen access to a very successful sales force throughout the global automotive industry. We are looking to substantially increase our exposure within our primary markets," said Yehoram Uziel, Soligen's founder and CEO.
    Soligen's proprietary casting technology enables the company to rapidly produce three-dimensional ceramic casting molds directly from Computer Aided Design files, thus shaving weeks off production time for cast metal parts. Soligen has also been producing production tooling for larger runs of metal casting from the same CAD file as the approved part.
    "The process has particular merit in the manufacturing of automotive powertrain components," said Frederick Nader, president of Autotech. "With this technology, Soligen is positioned to provide a true revolution in reducing costs and improving performance in the production of critical cast metal engine parts. The speed and efficiency of Soligen's casting process is especially important given recent industry-wide efforts to reduce the time required by automakers to produce new models. Using Soligen's technology, we believe that the time from initial design to production can be reduced by 50 percent," concluded Nader.
nbsp;   Highlights of Soligen's technology:

--	Can produce a first article metal part, bypassing the traditional need for tooling
--	Enables postponement of design and fabrication of expensive and time consuming casting tooling until parts have been functionally tested
--	Increases the probability that production tooling is fabricated correctly on the first attempt
