Dimension 3D Printer - Rapid prototyping with ABS plastic, FDM, Fused deposition model, SST, BST, Elite, NH, ME, MA, VT, RI
From ideas to reality... get to market faster.
New! Large-format 3D Printer Now Available - The industry's first large-format 3D printer under $30,000 provides 57% larger build envelope. The #1 selling 3D printer has a new look and new software.
Now you can wow your clients and get a jump on your competitors with functional and durable 3D parts and models. Received the highest marks in a head-to-head benchmark analysis and ranked number one in dimensional accuracy (conducted by T.A. Grimm & Associates, Inc., a leading consulting firm covering the rapid prototyping market)
3D printing has never been more affordable. The Dimension 3D printer from Stratasys can pay for itself faster than you think. If you send service bureaus one part a week, Dimension could pay for itself in under a year**. Don't wait for service bureau deliveries. See how you can cost-justify a Dimension printer throughout your design process.
With a Dimension 3D printer, you can explore multiple concepts quickly and affordably to review with everyone on the design team.
Functional Testing
Dimension 3D printers enable you to test form, fit and function - and as many design iterations as you like, right from your desk top - with functional ABS parts.
Product Cost Reduction
Studies show that catching design flaws early in the design process can save you thousands, if not millions of dollars.
Product Confidentiality
Dimension 3D Printers generate functional models in-house giving your designs added security.
Vacuum Forming
ABS models from a Dimension 3D Printer are widely used as masters for vacuum forming applications.
Marketing Tools
Models made on a Dimension 3D Printer are great marketing tools. Impress your prospects and clients with functional ABS models.
Product Mockups
Product mockups allow you to see your product and catch design flaws before going into production, saving you both time and money.
Rapid manufacturing
Create custom fixtures and other functional models for immediate use. Use ABS models instead of machining nylon.
Creative concepts
There's no limit to the freedom and flexibility you have with the power of rapid prototyping at your fingertips!
Desktop Engineering Magazine: Dimension Extends Line - New 3D Printer Lines Priced Aggressively
"...this thing is right out of
Star Trek. You can design a small part, go get lunch, come back, and the part is
done. It totally changes the way you think about a problem; spinning a
part "just to see how it actually fits and works" isn't a $30,000 proposition
any more.
We initially expected we'd make maybe a part a week on our Dimension SST,
and even at that rate, it would actually save us money. Now we find that
it's closer to a part a day; sometimes it's 25 copies of the same part
that are needed for an experiment rather than just one copy for a fit-test,
and with the Dimension we have our parts in hand by afternoon coffee
break rather than three-to-five-working-days.
People think of lots of rapid prototyping as "looks only". The Dimension
SST parts are mechanical - strong enough to be threaded, screwed, dropped,
kicked, glued, bolted, shipped around the world, tested with, and used as
parts of working hardware. " - William S. Yerazunis, PhD, Senior Research Scientist, Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories, Cambridge, MA, USA
