About Dimension / Stratasys
Two decades of 3D printing innovation
Dimension is a brand of 3D printers by Stratasys that offers CAD (computer-aided-design) users a low-cost, networked alternative for printing functional 3D models from the desktop. The printers build models layer-by-layer using ABS plastic, one of the most widely used thermoplastics in today's injection-molded products. Dimension 3D printers allow users to evaluate design concepts and test models for form, fit and functionality.
Stratasys invented its patented FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) technology in 1988 and has led the development of 3D printing technology ever since. Stratasys uses its FDM technology in both its Dimension 3D Printers, as well as its Fortus 3D Production Systems, developed for direct digital manufacturing and precision rapid prototyping. The company also operates Redeye On Demand, a digital manufacturing service.
Stratasys holds more than 180 granted or pending additive fabrication patents globally. Stratasys products are used in the aerospace, defense, automotive, medical, business & industrial equipment, education, architecture, and consumer-products markets.
- Stratasys co-founder and CEO S. Scott Crump invented FDM® (Fused Deposition Modeling) technology in the 1980s. The company was founded in 1988.
- Dimension and Stratasys have installed more 3D printing, prototyping and direct digital manufacturing systems than any other company in the world.
- In 2008, Dimension granted more than $400,000 to schools to underwrite the purchase of 3D printing systems in collaboration with Project Lead the Way®.
