The Dimension 3D Printing Group, a business unit of Stratasys, has released the Dimension 1200es Series. Priced at £18,900 for the BST and £24,500 for the SST version, the 1200es joins the group's line of desktop modelling systems, which includes the Dimension Elite (priced at £23,900) and 768 Series (priced from £14,900).
The 1200es Series features a 254 x 254 x 305mm build size and joins the Dimension Elite in offering engineers and designers the ability to print models with ABSplus, a material that is on average 40% stronger than standard Stratasys ABS plastic, providing stronger functional models and improved surface finish.
For customers who have purchased a 1200 Series 3D printer (non-es version), Dimension is now offering an enhancement package allowing for an upgrade to the 1200es at a very reasonable cost.
