Product Description
Stratasys Dimension SST 1200es 3D Printer – Industrial FDM Production System with Soluble Support
This used Stratasys Dimension SST 1200es is a professional-grade fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printer designed for rapid prototyping and production of functional parts. The SST 1200es was part of Stratasys’s “es” (enhanced) series, offering a larger build envelope than the base 1200 model, increasing the build volume to 10 x 10 x 12 inches (254 x 254 x 305 mm) .
The “SST” designation indicates this printer includes soluble support technology, using a specialized support material (Support 200-S) that dissolves in a water-based solution for easy removal, enabling complex geometries and intricate internal cavities . The machine typically uses ABSplus thermoplastic, a production-grade material known for its strength, durability, and temperature resistance, making it suitable for form, fit, and functional testing .
Condition Note: This unit is untested and sold as-is. It is a complex industrial machine that requires specialized materials, software, and maintenance. No materials (ABSplus, Support 200), print heads, or accessories are included unless specified.
