Geometries, Billerica, MA, has introduced the Connex500™ multimaterial
3D printer based on the company’s PolyJet Matrix™ technology, which
provides simultaneous jetting of multiple model materials. The system
enables the 3D printing of parts and assemblies made of multiple materials
in a single build, and fabricates Digital Materials™ on the fly,
enabling the creation of composite materials that have preset
combinations of mechanical properties. The printer prints parts with
specific Shore A values, a scale used to indicate material hardness in
soft, flexible materials. It produces prototypes of products that use
over-molding in the manufacturing process, and fabricates translucent
models that aid in medical applications by showing nerves, tumors, and
other areas of interest. Three printing modes are available: DM mode
operates at 12 mm per hour in 30-micron layers; HQ mode builds parts at
12 mm per hour in 16-micron layers; and the HS mode runs at 20 mm per
hour in 30-micron layers. Build volume is 500 × 400 × 200 mm.
