Ooouch!! Are you sure about this? I thought the cost of RP was coming down. I know that plastic cost is directly tied to the cost of oil, but has this Stratasys material cost gone up a lot or just stayed very high?

In a recent email concerning the price of the Stratasys Dimension material price, our calculations show that the equivalent of a gallon of gasoline would price out at $1025. And you thought that gasoline was high at a price at $3.00 per gallon!!

PS

Based upon $4.44 per cubic inch for the Dimension ABS plastic material or 53.6 cubic inches for $250.
