So many applications, So many advantages
Proof of Concept
Printing 3D models right in your office on Dimension 3D printers helps your design team explore multiple concepts quickly and affordably. You'll achieve more effective collaboration and get more quality feedback on every design iteration.
Mockups and Marketing Tools
3D mockups let you evaluate new product designs before they go into production. You can sand, paint and finish a functional ABSplus model to look and perform just like your final product — ideal for finding design flaws and giving customers a preview at meetings and trade shows.
Functional Testing
Dimension 3D printers print durable, functional models out of ABSplus thermoplastic that are tough enough to be tested as working parts in real world conditions. ABSplus models can fit or snap together and hold their tolerances for years.
Product Cost Reduction
Working with a real, functional model helps engineers explore ways to reduce the cost of production without compromising product quality. You can make relatively inexpensive changes in the design phase that could cost far more during production.
Product Confidentiality
Sending new product design data to an outside vendor increases the risk of a security leak. Printing models in house on Dimension 3D printers instead of using a prototyping service helps ensure the confidentiality of new products and preservation of your competitive edge.
Rapid Tooling
ABSplus models work extremely well as vacuum forming masters, assembly jigs and fixtures. They're accurate and durable enough for production environments, and reduce your costs and lead times compared to traditional tooling.
