3D Printing, 3D Printers and Rapid Prototyping to Even the Smallest Office environment.

Innovators, designers, engineers and scientists no longer have to work for major companies in order to access the kind of technology that allows for quick and easy production of high-quality 3-dimensional models and parts.

Thanks to the Eden™ line of 3-D printers based on Objet Geometries’ advanced PolyJet® Technology, it is now possible to create ultra-precise yet cost-effective models, nearly instantly, from the convenience of any office environment. Since 1998, Objet has established itself as a leading provider of rapid prototyping solutions, accommodating the needs of even small firms and offices because of the company’s products’ ease-of-use and cost-effective design.

Two key benefits of PolyJet technology are its advanced capabilities and the simple, clean operation it allows. Objet’s Polyjet Technology uses non-contact photopolymer materials that are cured instantly via UV and that are both safer and easier to work with than any other materials currently on the market. Additionally, Polyjet Technology’s water-jet removal system ensures all support materials are cleaned from the machine, between each use. These factors combine to provide a system that is safe, user-friendly, durable – and ideal for countless, varied applications.

Objet’s PolyJet Technology can significantly reduce time to market for new products, creating excellent ROI potential. Each 3-dimensional prototype is ready to be physically handled, examined and assessed as soon as it comes out of a Polyjet-based 3D printer from Objet. Ultra-thin 16-micron layers of non-touch resin are jetted onto the build tray and each layer is cured instantly with ultraviolet light. These processes ensure a high-quality, smoothly surfaced and accurate 3-D model that can be immediately touched, as there is no need for an after-production curing process.

Stereolithography

Amidst controversy it was widely advertised in the U.S. media that a

U.S. company continuously promised to release a printer costing less than $5,000USD which can accommodate an office environment and produce 3D Models at ease.

Worldwide Manufacturers eagerly expected the arrival of this new printer and so far have been heavily disappointed, as orders have been take with a deposit but actual printers have not yet been supplied.

In a technology driven industry 3d printing manufacturers who make unsubstantiated claims offering 3d printers at imaginative costs may not survive the long term haul.

Such start-up difficulties are often common for new firms and inflict loses to those manufacturers who await these rapid prototyping machines, who sometimes never arrive.

There are no bargains to be found price-wise but rather technologically-wise; another manufacturer but an established one, who recently launched its independent U.S. operations – Objet Geometries LTD has a long history of living up to its technological promises and delivering quality printers to its customers.

The Objet Polyjet system outranks all its competitors in terms of quality of finish, thin walls, range of materials, etc. Innovation is for the rapid prototyping industry and Objet has managed to maintain a technological edge over the years, differentiating itself from the competition and delivering a top-end 3d printer to its dedicated customers.

In an arena filled with manufacturers offerings of more affordable and faster printers are aplenty. The reality is that the final model printed may be produced in less time but at a slightly cheaper cost but may be of no use due to its rough surfaces, and breakable parts. The difference is quite similar to buying a quick and fast coffee machine as opposed to a quality ‘bean to cup’ cappuccino maker.

Even in the third world and less able economies, manufacturers still prefer purchasing a 3d printing system manufactured by a reliable company which is able to actually deliver the printer, support it, install it, and print on the fly 3d models which are true to life duplicates.

In European economies such as Germany or the USA, major multinationals will adopt a no risk policy and maintain that Objet’s 3d printers are the only choice for their rapid manufacturing processes.

Some manufacturers have all together skipped the manufacturing process and replaced it with the 3d printing process as the actual materials contained in the Objet printer cartridge are good enough to print a direct product to be used immediately.

This revolutionary concept is driving the market towards a one stop printing – producing solution which only top end 3d printer manufacturers such as Objet Geometries LTD can deliver.

Objet’s 3d printing systems are far ahead of their competitors and continue to lead the market with a real product and a competitive price, unmatched by any of its rivals.
