MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 11, 2009-- Stratasys Inc. (NASDAQ: SSYS) announced today its Dimension^® 3D Printer is featured in an article authored by Jay Leno that appears in the July 2009 edition of Popular Mechanics magazine.

The article, “Jay Leno’s 3D Printer Replaces Rusty Old Parts,” details Leno’s use of a Dimension 3D Printer to quickly fabricate obsolete car parts for his classic cars. Within the article, Leno raves about the precision, speed and cost-savings associated with the Dimension 3D Printer.

“Leno’s article is just one of many recent examples of Dimension 3D Printing increasing in popularity within the hobby and small business markets,” said Scott Crump, CEO of Stratasys Inc. “The fact that a nationally distributed consumer magazine has chosen to feature the use of a Dimension 3D Printer is further evidence that mainstream interest in this technology is on the rise. I expect this trend to continue, especially with the recent introduction of Dimension’s newest, most compact and most affordable system, the uPrint™ Personal 3D Printer.”

Dimension, a brand of 3D printers by Stratasys, offers computer-aided-design (CAD) users a low-cost, networked alternative for building functional 3D models from the desktop. The printers build models layer-by-layer using ABS plastic, one of the most widely used thermoplastics in today’s injection-molded products. Dimension 3D printers allow users to evaluate design concepts and test models for functionality, form and fit.
