DpiX's plant covers 239,200 sq. ft., including a 54,000 sq.ft. clean room and sits on 26 acres, plenty of room to grow. The company has  150 employees in Colorado Springs, a number that should increase gradually as production shifts from Palo Alto to Colorado Springs and the company gradually expands. DpiX is one of the world's largest manufacturers of the amorphous silicon sensors that register the images inside digital X-ray machines. It controls 50 percent of the market .

Frank Caris, dpiX's president and CEO, said that "Even in an economic downturn, our market continued to grow. We really hope that our presence will attract other companies that work in those fields."  Shawn O'Rourke, dpiX's chief technology officer, said digital X-rays are moving out of hospitals and into clinics and doctor's offices. "You see a continuous, rapid growth in digital X-ray," he said. "It's a very, very dynamic market."
