Low-cost 3d Printers

The Dimension BST 3D printer has been lowered in price to $18,900. Meanwhile, Dimension SST 3D printer is now priced at $24,900. The Dimension BST is said to be the first 3D printer to be priced less than $20,000. Dimension BST and SST 3D printers build functional 3D prints from the bottom-up, one layer at a time. The software imports STL files and automatically slices and orients the part, creates necessary support structures, and plots a precise deposition path for the 3D printer to follow. The Dimension BST requires users to manually remove support pieces. The Dimension SST provides a clean station that quickly and easily removes soluble supports.
