   EARTHSHELL(R) CORPORATION SIGNS NEW LICENSEE, RENEWABLE PRODUCTS INC. (RPI)

THOMPSON STREET CAPITAL PARTNERS TO FUND PURCHASE OF DTE EQUIPMENT FOR RPI

SANTA BARBARA, CA, JUNE 17, 2005-EarthShell Corporation (OTCBB:ERTH ) EarthShell
Corporation,  innovators of food service packaging designed with the environment
in mind,  today announced that it has signed ReNewable  Products,  Inc. (RPI) as
its newest  licensee.  The concept of developing  RPI, as a new entity,  was the
result of  collaboration  between  Thompson  Street Capital  Partners (TSCP) and
EarthShell Corporation.

RPI, as part of TSCP and with funding from them,  has placed a binding  purchase
order with Detroit Tool & Engineering (DTE) for an initial 16 equipment modules.
In turn,  EarthShell  Corp. and RPI have signed a 20% royalty bearing  exclusive
license  which  allows RPI to produce  EarthShell's  environmentally  preferable
plates and bowls for the important and growing U.S. Mass  Merchandising & Retail
markets as well as all government  agencies.  In their market space, RPI will be
targeting  EarthShell  plates and bowls to customers  such as Wal-Mart,  Costco,
Target,  K-Mart, the Interior Department,  Environmental  Protection Agency, the
Department of Defense and many other valuable and strategic customers to include
government funded schools, colleges and universities.

As part of more detailed  plans to begin  shipping  EarthShell  plates and bowls
this quarter,  DTE, a licensed EarthShell equipment producer,  will lease 40,000
sq. ft of manufacturing  space, in a separate part of its facilities in Lebanon,
Missouri,  to RPI. In so doing, the companies are cooperating to facilitate ease
of  module  installation  & de-bug  time and  accelerate  production  timelines.
Installation of the initial 16 modules is currently being completed and start up
is planned on a phased in basis running through September. The first two modules
are scheduled to be on line and shipping small initial  quantities of plates and
bowls  this  month.  The area  being  leased  will  provide  space  for up to 32
manufacturing modules,  warehousing of raw materials and finished inventory with
the  ability  to  accommodate  the  appropriate  distribution  requirements  for
excellent customer service. Go to market plans and market estimates for RPI will
be provided in the near future by Russell Greer, President of RPI.

James A Cooper, co-founder of Thompson Street Capital Partners, stated "Thompson
Street is excited to play a major role in bringing EarthShell's  environmentally
unique and biodegradable  plate and bowl project to fruition.  Our investment in
DTE, as an  EarthShell  equipment  supplier,  has given us a unique and valuable
understanding of the  manufacturing  process and business  opportunity at hand."
Mr. Cooper  added,  "through RPI we are  broadening  our interests in EarthShell
packaging and  demonstrating  our belief in its value to all customers and users
of disposable packaging."

Subject to achieving  certain  defined  conditions or  milestones,  set forth by
EarthShell,  RPI, and TSCP,  RPI may merge its operations  into  EarthShell at a
time  to  be  announced  later.   These  milestones  include  completion  of  16
manufacturing  modules operating at agreed to levels of  effectiveness,  and RPI
generating  royalty income for  EarthShell.  If a merger is completed,  RPI will
exchange its assets and operations for 8 million shares of restricted EarthShell
stock.

"Today's news provides investors extremely positive and significant  information
regarding the return of EarthShell Packaging to the marketplace," stated Vincent
J. Truant,  EarthShell President and Chief Operating Officer. "The clear synergy
of EarthShell,  Thompson Street Capital Partners, Detroit Tool & Engineering and
now the newest  member of this strong  alliance,  ReNewable  Products  Inc, will
become  even  more  evident  as  we  progress  through  2005.  The  marketplace,
consumers,  customers and certainly the environment have waited for today's news
and we are pleased to deliver it" added Truant.

EarthShell  Corporation  is engaged in the  licensing and  commercialization  of
proprietary  composite  material  technology for the  manufacture of foodservice
disposable packaging,  including cups, plates, bowls, hinged-lid containers, and
sandwich wraps. In addition to certain environmental characteristics, EarthShell
Packaging is designed to be cost and performance  competitive  compared to other
foodservice packaging materials.

EarthShell sandwich  containers,  plates,  bowls and wraps are designed with the
environment in mind.  Developed  over many years using a "life cycle  inventory"
and in consultation  with leading  environmental  experts,  EarthShell  products
reduce the  environmental  burdens of rigid food service  packaging  through the
careful  selection of raw materials,  processes and suppliers.  The products are
made primarily from natural  limestone and starch from potatoes,  wheat or corn.
The new packaging poses  substantially  fewer risks to wildlife than polystyrene
foam  packaging  because it  biodegrades  when  exposed to  moisture  in nature,
physically  disintegrates in water when crushed or broken,  and can be composted
in a commercial facility (where available) or in your backyard.
