MINNEAPOLIS, MN — Dimension 3D Printing, a brand of Stratasys, Inc. (NASDAQ: SSYS), announced that it will auction the Dimension SST 1200es 3D printer used in Jay Leno’s Garage and donate the proceeds to a charity he supports. The winning bid will receive a complete Dimension 3D printing system with a one-year warranty, along with a NextEngine 3D scanner.

Dimension 3D Printers create plastic models directly from any 3D CAD (computer aided design) program, using ABS plastic. The printer and scanner used in Leno’s Big Dog Garage have been publicized in magazines such as Popular Mechanics and Men’s Journal as well as featured on JayLenosGarage.com. The printer will be autographed by Leno prior to the auction.

The staff at Leno’s garage has used the printer and scanner to create obsolete or hard-to-find parts for his classic cars. “The Dimension 3D printer has been a great help in the Big Dog Garage,” said garage manager Bernard Juchli. “When we got the printer, we didn’t know the variety of ways we could use it, or that it would allow us to approach projects differently. We printed models of a heat exchanger for a White steam car and used them to make patterns for sand casting. On that one job, we saved about $5,000 in casting costs alone.”
