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!
