Dimension 3D Printers
Using Dimension in conjunction
with 3D solid CAD, students are able to generate 3D functional models that they can use to evaluate designs, test
functionality and most importantly, add to their design portfolios. In the future, the CAD Department at OCTC may offer 3D
printing as part of its certificate programs, which would be a credential students can add to their resumes.
How does the Dimension process work?
Based on the patented Stratasys FDM® process, Dimension builds functional 3D models from the bottom up, one layer at a time
of with tough, durable acrylnitrile butadene styrene (ABS) plastic.
STL files are imported into Catalyst™ software which automatically slices and orients the parts and creates any necessary support structures. The software automatically plots a precise deposition path for Dimension to follow. ABS plastic (in filament form within auto-loading cartridges) is fed into an extrusion head, heated to a semi-liquid state and accurately deposited in layers as fine as 0.010-inch (0.254 mm) thick. After completion of the build, support structures are simply removed.

Computer Aided Design (CAD) & Graphics Design Applications
- No doubt AutoCAD, or an AutoCAD-based product was used in the design and maintenance of much of what you see around you; your computer, the desk, and lighting. And much of what you do not see, including your building's HVAC and electrical systems, the surrounding landscaping and roads, and your telecommunication networks.
AutoCAD is a powerful 2D and 3D design and drafting platform that automates your design tasks, and provides digital tools so you can focus on the design rather than the software itself. Architects, engineers, drafters, and design-related professionals use AutoCAD to create, view, manage, plot, share, and reuse accurate, information-rich drawings.
