"We are delighted with this recognition of our Connex500(TM) system as one of the most significant UV/EB innovations of the past year," said Adina Shorr, CEO of Objet Geometries. "This honor highlights our leadership position in the field of rapid prototyping, which has become a vital tool in product development and manufacturing processes among a diverse range of industries throughout the world."
Objet's Connex500(TM) represents a breakthrough in three-dimensional printing by, for the first time, offering product developers the ability to print parts and assemblies made of several materials with different mechanical and physical properties in a single build process. The system's patented PolyJet Matrix(TM) Technology jets materials in ultra-thin layers, immediately curing each layer with UV light, a process which yields models that closely emulate the look, feel and function of an exceptionally wide variety of end products. In addition, the system allows users to create composite materials that have pre-set combinations of mechanical properties, also a first for the industry. The Connex500(TM) was unveiled in November 2007.
Objet formally received its award on May 6th at the RadTech UV/EB Technology Expo & Conference in Chicago, which is dedicated to fostering educational, technical and scientific advancement in the manufacture and use of UV and EB curable products.
