Introduction
Dimension is designed with ultimate simplicity in mind. The system
enables you to build parts quickly, even if you’ve never used a 3D
printer before. Its display panel prompts you to press a few keys to
get you modeling quickly.
The system models with ABS plastic, so modeled parts are strong
and durable. ABS also ensures you’ll be able to drill, tap, sand, and
paint your creations. With the speed and convenience of
Breakaway Support Technology (BST) or Soluble Support
Technology (SST), your completed parts are quickly available for
review and test.
Dimension is an innovative combination of proprietary hardware,
software, and material technology.
Congratulations…
you’ve made a smart choice!
