2Overview
Dimension Elite builds models, including internal features, from CAD STL files. The system builds
three-dimensional parts by extruding a bead of ABS plastic through a computer-controlled extrusion
head, producing high quality parts that are ready to use immediately after completion. With two
layer resolution settings, you can choose to build a part quickly for design verification, or you can
choose a finer setting for higher quality surface detail.
The Dimension Elite system consists of two primary components — the Dimension Elite 3D printer
and CatalystEX. CatalystEX is the preprocessing software that runs on a Windows XP Pro, Windows
Vista or Windows 7 platform.
Dimension Elite’s build envelope measures 203 x 203 x 305 mm (8 x 8 x 12 in). Each material
cartridge contains 922 cc (56.3 cu. in.) of usable material — enough to build continuously for
about four days without reloading.
