Stronger, finer 3D models

The Dimension 3D Printing Group, a business unit of Stratasys (Eden Prairie, MN), announced immediate availability of the Dimension Elite 3D Printer last month. The Elite is the fifth printer within the Dimension product family, and was introduced at the annual Dimension reseller conference in Las Vegas, NV.

Company sources say that the new printer provides engineers and designers with stronger, functional models containing finer feature detail and improved surface finish. Priced at $32,900, the Elite features an 8-by-8-by-12-inch build envelope and uses a new, stronger ABS material called ABSplus. ABSplus is said to be, on average, 40% stronger than standard ABS material, making it suited for testing the form, fit, and function of inherently fragile, fine-featured models.

?The Dimension Elite addresses a market need for an affordable, networked, 3D printer capable of building stronger functional models with finer feature detail,? says Jon Cobb, vice president and general manager of 3D printing for Stratasys. ?Engineers and designers designing tomorrow?s electronic connectors, medical testers, and small instruments will be thrilled by the performance and affordability of the Dimension Elite.??MM
