Dimension uPrint 3D Printer Gets Golden Mousetrap Award
 MINNEAPOLIS,
MN, Sep 14, 2009 - Dimension 3D Printing, a brand of Stratasys Inc. (NASDAQ:
SSYS), today announced that its uPrint Personal 3D Printer has been selected
as a 2009 Design News magazine Golden Mousetrap Best Product winner in the
Rapid Prototyping Tools category. The Design News editorial staff selected
uPrint from a record number of entries across five major categories -
Electronics, Motion Control/Automation, Rapid Prototyping, Hardware and
Software, and Materials/Fastening, Joining & Assembly.
"Design News congratulates the winners and finalists of the 2009 Golden
Mousetrap Awards for the great work they've done to develop new and
innovative products for design engineers," said Design News editor-in-chief,
Karen Field. "These products showcase the highly imaginative ways that
today's engineers are 'building a better mousetrap,' and we thank them for
their contributions."
The newest addition to Dimension's industry-leading line of 3D Printers,
uPrint, breaks the $15,000 barrier with fully functional, desktop-sized 3D
printer. 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 a networked, desktop-sized 3D printer, capable of building durable,
accurate models, ready for testing. It will appeal to designers, engineers,
architects, artists, teachers and others working in CAD.
uPrint has only a 25 x 26 in. footprint and features an 8 x 6 x 6 in.
build envelope. Using proven FDM technology, Dimension's uPrint builds
models with Stratasys ABSplus -- an industrial thermoplastic with excellent
durability. uPrint also features soluble support technology, allowing for
hands-free removal of the model support material.
