Most design decisions are made up-front in the design process. Typically the first 10% of the product development process affects about 80% of the products total cost. These decisions are made during the initial or concept stage of the development process.
Typically, designers and engineers rely on 3D CAD software at this stage. But significant challenges arise using only a computer screen or color printer output to communicate the true design details to management, marketing, vendors and others on the design team.
Functional 3D models, created on a Dimension, enable the designer and all others on the design team to make better informed design decisions, resulting in fewer design changes, better product designs, lower production costs and lower product costs. Historically, businesses that have relied on RP parts have either used expensive, time consuming service bureaus or have utilized high-end RP systems that require dedicated operators, modified site requirements and a long learning curve. Today companies are turning to low cost 3D Printing systems that deliver quality parts, allowing the designer to iterate designs quickly, testing for form, fit and function.

With a Dimension 3D printer, you can explore multiple concepts quickly and affordably to review with everyone on the design team.
Dimension 3D Printers.
Proof of concept
Dimension 3D printers enable you to test form, fit and function - and as many design iterations as you like, right from your desk top - with functional ABS parts.
Functional Testing
Studies show that catching design flaws early in the design process can save you thousands, if not millions of dollars.
Product Cost Reductions
Dimension 3D Printers generate functional models in-house giving your designs added security.
Product Confidentiality
ABS models from a Dimension 3D Printer are widely used as masters for vacuum forming applications.
