TULSA, OK — (Marketwired) — 10/11/16 —
3DIcon Corporation
(OTC PINK: TDCP) announced today it has appointed Doug Freitag as its CEO. Freitag previously served the Company in the role of Vice President of Technology and Business Development.

Freitag will oversee the continued research and development of the Company’s proprietary CSpace^® technology, along with commercialization of the proprietary technology and IP portfolio of Silicon-based technologies acquired through the recent merger with Coretec Industries, LLC. That portfolio includes technologies with potential for immediate application within the markets of energy storage (Lithium-ion batteries, for use in cell phones, laptops, etc., and electric cars, among others), solar energy, solid state lighting, and printable electronics.

Freitag brings more than 30 years of experience in commercializing advanced materials with much of it involving Silicon-based materials. He has supported more than 130 clients developing technologies for energy, medical, electronic, photonic, military, space, industrial, transportation, agriculture, and optics markets, while working with organizations such as Dow Corning, Avery Dennison, General Electric, UML, Triton Systems and DuPont.

“I look forward to assuming this new role during an exciting time for 3DIcon as a company. Following the recent merger with Coretec Industries, we are well positioned to continue the further advancement of our own 3D volumetric display technology, CSpace^®,” said Doug Freitag, CEO of 3DIcon. “We are also excited to enter new, burgeoning markets that utilize Silicon-materials which we anticipate will result in near-term revenue to the Company. I’d like to thank current 3DIcon leadership for inviting me to continue and expand my role within the Company, and am excited about our prospects moving forward.”
