From Dimension 3D Printers by Stratasys
An ideal complement to CAD, 3D printing offers a fast, low-cost alternative for building concept and working models. Designed for workstation and network access much like a standard laser printer, 3D printing is growing in usage along with the unprecedented growth of CAD solid modeling.
Both rapid prototyping (RP) and 3D printing technologies build models layer by layer from STL data. The cost difference per part between 3D printing and RP systems can be significant. Including material, machine depreciation, system maintenance and labor, a part built using RP technology can cost nearly twice as much compared to 3D printing.
More expensive RP systems are often centrally located with a dedicated staff functioning much like an in-house service bureau. 3D printers are smaller, more affordable and suitable for installation near an end user providing convenience and ease of use that eliminates "departmental delay."
