1 Introduction
Dimension 1200es printers are designed with ultimate simplicity in mind. The systems enable you to
build parts quickly, even if you have never used a 3D printer before.
The systems model with ABSplus™ plastic, so modeled parts are strong and durable. ABSplus also
ensures that you will be able to drill, tap, sand, and paint your creations. With the speed and
convenience of Soluble Support Technology, completed parts are quickly available for review and
test.
Dimension 1200es printers are an innovative combination of proprietary hardware, software, and
material technology.
Congratulations…
you made a smart choice!

Safety precautions
The following precautions ensure the proper use of the printer and prevent the printer from being
damaged. Follow these precautions at all times.
• Use the power supply voltage specified on the nameplate. Avoid overloading the printer’s
electrical outlet with multiple devices.
• Ensure the printer is well-grounded. Failure to ground the printer may result in electrical shock,
fire and susceptibility to electromagnetic interference.
• Before disassembling or repairing the printer yourself, contact your local Service
Representative. See Support section of User Guide.
• Use only the power cord supplied with the printer. Do not damage, cut or repair the power
cord. A damaged power cord has risk of fire and electric shock. Replace a damaged power
cord with an approved power cord.
• Do not allow metal or liquids to touch the internal parts of the printer. Doing so may cause
damage, fire, electric shock or other serious hazards.
• Power off the printer and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet in any of the
following cases:
• If there is smoke or an unusual smell coming from the printer.
• If the printer is making an unusual noise not heard during normal operation.
• A piece of metal or a liquid touches the internal parts of the printer.
• During an electrical (thunder/lightning) storm
• During a power failure

The following classifications are used throughout this guide.
CAUTION: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may
result in minor or moderate injury.
WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in serious injury.
Hot Surface: The hot surface sign indicates the presence of devices with high tem-
peratures. Always use extra care, and wear safety gloves, when working around
heated components
Gloves: When performing some maintenance procedures, the machine may be
hot and gloves will be required to avoid burns.
Safety Glasses: Wear safety glasses to avoid injury to your eyes.
Recycle: Use proper recycling techniques for materials and packaging.
ESD: Use standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions
when working on or near electrical components.

2Overview
Dimension 1200es printers build models, including internal features, from CAD STL files. Three-
dimensional parts are built by extruding a bead of ABS plastic through a computer-controlled
extrusion head, producing high quality parts that are ready to use immediately after completion.
With two layer resolution settings, you can choose to build a part quickly for design verification, or
you can choose a finer setting for higher quality surface detail.
The Dimension 1200es systems consist of two primary components — the Dimension 1200es 3D
printer and CatalystEX. CatalystEX is the preprocessing software that runs on a Windows Vista or
Windows 7 platform.
The build envelope measures 254 x 254 x 305 mm (10 x 10 x 12 in). Each material cartridge
contains 922 cc (56.3 cu. in.) of usable material.
