Streamline Your Designing: Dimension 3D Printers are priced for office use, so you can create onsite perfect working models directly from your CAD, made of tough ABS plastic that can be sanded, milled, even painted. And that’s just the beginning.

Dimension / Stratasys
Two decades of 3D printing innovation!

Dimension is a brand of 3D printers by Stratasys that offers CAD (computer-aided-design) users a low-cost, networked alternative for printing functional 3D models from the desktop. The printers build models layer-by-layer using ABS plastic, one of the most widely used thermoplastics in today's injection-molded products. Dimension 3D printers allow users to evaluate design concepts and test models for form, fit and functionality.

Stratasys invented its patented FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) technology in 1988 and has led the development of 3D printing technology ever since. Stratasys uses its FDM technology in both its Dimension 3D Printers, as well as its Fortus 3D Production Systems, developed for direct digital manufacturing and precision rapid prototyping. The company also operates Redeye On Demand, a digital manufacturing service.

Stratasys holds more than 180 granted or pending additive fabrication patents globally. Stratasys products are used in the aerospace, defense, automotive, medical, business & industrial equipment, education, architecture, and consumer-products markets.

• Stratasys co-founder and CEO S. Scott Crump invented FDM® (Fused Deposition Modeling) technology in the 1980s. The company was founded in 1988.
• Dimension and Stratasys have installed more 3D printing, prototyping and direct digital manufacturing systems than any other company in the world.
• In 2008, Dimension granted more than $400,000 to schools to underwrite the purchase of 3D printing systems in collaboration with Project Lead the Way®.

Bring Your Ideas To Life In Three Dimensions

As a tool for visualizing and communicating your ideas, nothing compares to Dimension 3D Printers.  There’s simply no substitute for the tactile and visual feedback a physical model can provide – and with Dimension, you can create both simple and complex models in real space and proportionately scaled.

Communicate And Collaborate Without Ambiguity

CAD files, prints and renderings can be misinterpreted by everyone from team members to clients.  And changes due to poor communication become exponentially more expensive with each step in the design process.  But physical models produced on a Dimension 3D Printer enable everyone to accurately review concepts.  3D printing even makes possible real-time collaboration between team members in separate locations.

Cut Weeks Off Your Design Cycle

Outsourcing a model takes days or weeks.  A Dimension Printer could create the same model in just hours.  Dimension 3D printers also allow you to experiment with new concepts and numerous design iterations – without extensive time or building expense.

Better Protection For Your Intellectual Property

Security and intellectual property protection are essential for your business.  Yet any time you send concepts or designs outside to a service provider, you increase the possibility of a security leak. A Dimension 3D Printer ensures that the concepts you’re considering remain secure inside your company.
