Stratasys to Host Charity Auction for Dimension 3D Printer
Dimension SST 1200es 3D printer used in Jay Leno's Garage to be
auctioned from a minimum bid of $10K
 MINNEAPOLIS,
MN, Dec 2, 2009 - Dimension 3D Printing, a brand of
Stratasys Inc. (NASDAQ: SSYS), today announced that it will auction the
Dimension SST 1200es 3D printer used in Jay Leno’s Garage and donate the
proceeds to a charity he supports. The winning bid will receive a complete
Dimension 3D printing system with a one-year warranty, along with a NextEngine
3D scanner.
Dimension 3D Printers create plastic models directly from any 3D CAD
(computer aided design) program, using ABS plastic. The printer and scanner
used in Leno’s Big Dog Garage have been publicized in magazines such as
Popular Mechanics and Men’s Journal as well as featured on
JayLenosGarage.com. The printer will be autographed by Leno prior to the
auction.
The staff at Leno’s garage has used the printer and scanner to create
obsolete or hard-to-find parts for his classic cars. "The Dimension 3D
printer has been a great help in the Big Dog Garage,” said garage manager
Bernard Juchli. “When we got the printer, we didn't know the variety of ways
we could use it, or that it would allow us to approach projects differently.
We printed models of a heat exchanger for a White steam car and used them to
make patterns for sand casting. On that one job, we saved about $5,000 in
casting costs alone."
