Now you can bring 3D printing right in your office at a very low cost so you can easily collaborate and make changes for a much more efficient design process.

And because these printers use only tough, durable ABS plastic that can be sanded, milled, drilled, painted and even electro-plated, you can print perfect working models directly from your CAD.

Designers throughout the world use these innovative printers to significantly lower production costs, reduce expensive revisions and get products to market faster.

Most design decisions are made up-front in the design process. Typically the first 10% of the product development process affects about 80% of the products total cost. These decisions are made during the initial or concept stage of the development process.

Typically, designers and engineers rely on 3D CAD software at this stage. But significant challenges arise using only a computer screen or color printer output to communicate the true design details to management, marketing, vendors and others on the design team.

Functional 3D models, created on a Dimension, enable the designer and all others on the design team to make better informed design decisions, resulting in fewer design changes, better product designs, lower production costs and lower product costs. Historically, businesses that have relied on RP parts have either used expensive, time consuming service bureaus or have utilized high-end RP systems that require dedicated operators, modified site requirements and a long learning curve. Today companies are turning to low cost 3D Printing systems that deliver quality parts, allowing the designer to iterate designs quickly, testing for form, fit and function.

3D printing has never been more affordable. Priced at $18,900*, Dimension 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.

The Dimension product line features two desktop Printers, the Dimension BST (Breakaway Support Technology) and the Dimension SST (Soluble Support Technology). Both systems produce the same high quality ABS parts that allow the designer to test for form, fit and function. Both systems are desktop systems, which operate in an office environment. These networked printers are very easy to install and operate. Utilizing the Dimension Catalyst™ software, designers can simply click "print" and their design is sent to the printer. From this point on the Dimension takes over and prints a functional model from ABS plastic.
