Give Students Design Experience That’s Truly Hands-On

We’re helping high schools, technical colleges and universities extend their science, CAD and machine tool curriculums by enabling students to build functional models and see their ideas firsthand. 

Easy To Learn, Use And Maintain

Dimension 3D Printers are an affordable, clean, one-step process to creating models in durable ABS plastic — the same material used by the industry.  Dimension doesn’t have the steep learning curve and complex programming requirements of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) modeling. You print right from a CAD file, with the click of a button.

Teach With The Leading Technology

For innovative designers, engineers, architects and manufacturers prototyping is a critical step of the design process.  As the use of CAD and 3D printing increases, understanding this technology is essential for design students.  And as the leading 3D printer for the industry, Dimension is the right tool for training the designers and engineers of tomorrow.

The Extreme Redesign Challenge

Dimension’s commitment to education continues with the 4th annual "Extreme Redesign: The Ultimate 3D Printing Challenge" — a global design and 3D printing contest for high school and college students that awards scholarships to the winners. more >>
