Rapid Prototyping Benchmark Reports
Looking for the right rapid prototyping system for your operation? Need to understand how one system measures up to another? The rapid prototyping benchmarks are the perfect tools to get you up to speed quickly. Don't make any decisions based on vendor claims. Base your buying decisions on real time, cost and quality measures.
Dimensional Accuracy - 3D Printers
Published October 2005
3D printers are often used in the earliest stages of design. Although the life span of these design tools can be measured in minutes or hours, users still want reasonable accuracy that will satisfy the needs of their applications. The goal of this benchmark is to analyze and quantify the dimensional accuracy available from the Dimension® SST, InVisionTM SR and ZPrinter® 310.
This nine page report illustrates the accuracy of each system with reverse engineering color maps and comparative charts.
