Here’s how: See for yourself: Watch the video that shows how Dimension makes printing 3D models easy and practical right in your office. You’ll see more iterations in less time, and perform functional tests on models throughout the design process. The result: far greater confidence that your final design is problem free. Click here to watch the video. See hard evidence: Request a sample part printed on a Dimension 3D printer. It’s an eye-opening experience when you put an accurate, functional model in someone’s hands. Dimension 3D printers print models in production-grade ABSplus thermoplastic, so you can test every design under the same conditions that you’ll test the final product. Click here to request a sample part. See how it fits into your budget: Lease options on Dimension 3D printers start at just $275/month* in the US. Putting a Dimension 3D printer to work in your office is a low-cost way to shorten development cycles and help get new products to market sooner.

Cooking Up Better Pyrex® Bakeware   World Kitchen, LLC who produces its tempered, heat-resistant Pyrex bakeware was looking to shorten the timeline for new product development by funding a less cumbersome solution for creating, thermo balancing, and manufacturing tempered-glass bakeware products. Until 2006, the Pyrex plant used 2D design tools to develop its products in conjunction with a trial-and-error approach to its thermoforming manufacturing process. See how they resolved their issues as well as cut their annual development costs by over $230,000.   Click here to read the case study in full.
