Dimension Elite

The Dimension 3D Printing Group, a business unit of Stratasys, Inc. (Eden Prairie, MN), has introduced the Dimension Elite 3D Printer. The Elite becomes the fifth 3D printer in the Dimension line of desktop modeling systems, joining the Dimension 1200 Series (priced from $21,900) and 768 Series (priced from $18,900).

According to Dimension, the Elite 3D Printer provides engineers and designers with strong, functional models with fine feature details. The Elite features an 8 in. x 8 in. x 12 in. build envelope. It uses a new, stronger ABS material called ABSplus said to be 40 percent stronger on average than standard ABS material. Network-ready, the Dimension can be leveraged by engineers and designers creating models with fine details such as electronic connectors, medical components, and small instruments.

The Dimension Elite costs $32,900. For more information, visit Dimension 3D Printing.
