The DuPont Dimension XL was an evolutionary step for the Dimension product line. While developing and testing the various cabinet styles a solid modeler was used to develop alternative system layouts. After the aesthetic direction was selected, and the frame concept chosen, a soft model was fabricated for an ease-of-use evaluation that was conducted in the US and Europe. During development, areas of responsibility included the frame and baseplate, sample wheel, ISE implementation, and cabinet design. To facilitate manufacturing and to provide a flexible foundation for future modules, the frame is a two-component system.
