                   EARTHSHELL CORPORATION TO SET NEW DATE FOR
                         ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
       Proposed EarthShell and RPI Merger Targeted for Third Quarter, 2006

BALTIMORE, MD - May 18, 2006 -- EarthShell(R) Corporation (OTCBB: ERTH),
announced today that as a result of a pending key business transaction, the
Company will set a new date for its Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The meeting
had been scheduled for June 22, 2006 in Baltimore, Maryland, as defined in the
Company's Definitive Proxy and Notice of Annual Meeting filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on April 30, 2006.

EarthShell and its U.S. licensee, ReNewable Products, Inc. (RPI) have previously
reported on the achievement of a variety of key business goals, including
installation of the first 16 equipment modules, the official ribbon-cutting at
RPI's manufacturing facility and initial customer contracts. Also, as previously
announced, the Companies entered into a proposed merger agreement in June, 2005
and based on progress to date ahead of schedule, EarthShell and RPI are
collaborating on plans to consummate a merger during the third quarter of this
year. Given the scope of activities required to bring about the merger, the
Meeting of Shareholders will be scheduled at a time closely concurrent with the
proposed RPI and EarthShell merger.

Given the significance of the anticipated merger, the Board of Directors and
executive management of EarthShell have elected to reschedule the annual
meeting. This decision will enable EarthShell to conduct all key company
business and will allow shareholders to vote on these transactions at one
meeting this year.

"By holding our annual shareholders' meeting on a date closer to this positive
event, the merger of RPI and EarthShell, we are not only minimizing costs but
more significantly, demonstrating that our company is gaining momentum and
repositioning its business model to provide increased value to our
shareholders," said Vincent J. Truant, chairman and chief executive officer of
EarthShell Corporation.

The Company will announce a new record and meeting dates, to include location,
date and time, once the details of the merger and the stockholder meeting are
finalized. It is intended that a proposal related to the EarthShell and RPI
merger will be incorporated into a revised Proxy Statement and Notice of Annual
Meeting that the Company will file and distribute as required by applicable law
and rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

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