FRANKFURT — 26th January 2009 — The Dimension 3D Printing Group, a business unit of Stratasys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SSYS), today launched the uPrint Personal 3D Printer. uPrint (priced at €11,999) is available for purchase immediately through authorised resellers and joins Dimension’s market-leading line of 3D Printers.

uPrint is designed for the desktop — requiring only a 635mm x 660mm footprint and featuring an 203mm x 152mm x 152mm build envelope. Using Dimension’s proven FDM Technology, uPrint builds models with Stratasys ABSplus — a material on average 40% stronger than the company’s standard ABS material, making it ideally suited for testing the form, fit and function of models and prototypes. uPrint also features a soluble support removal system, allowing for hands-free removal of the model support material.

As a personal 3D printer, uPrint makes 3D printing immediate and convenient through every design iteration. There's no waiting in queue for a shared printer and no waiting for models to arrive from an outside service.

“uPrint is an important advance for Dimension’s product line, providing users with a networked, desktop-sized 3D printer capable of building durable, accurate models ready for testing,” said Jon Cobb, vice-president and general manager of 3D printing for Stratasys. “uPrint will appeal to designers, engineers, architects, artists, teachers and others working in CAD. With uPrint, they can get an affordable, high-quality 3D modelling system that’s available today.”
