Office-Friendly System Provides Cost Effective Route to High-Quality Models
Rehovot, Israel —23 January, 2006 — Objet Geometries Ltd., the world leader in ultra-thin layer photopolymer jetting, today announced the Eden250ä 3-Dimensional Printing System. The Eden250 leverages Objet’s market-proven Eden platform to bring high-quality, highly accurate rapid prototyping capabilities into the reach of virtually any design or manufacturing operation in a wide range of fields. Its unique combination of office-friendly design, advanced capabilities and affordable price point make the Eden250 ideal for virtually any organization, including consumer products, electronics, medical devices and fashion accessories companies, along with academic institutions and small businesses.
Like all Eden printing systems, the Eden250 is based on Objet’s innovative PolyJet™ technology, which enables horizontal layers as thin as 16m (0.0006”), exceptionally fine details, ultra-thin walls down to 0.6mm (0.024”), and high accuracy, with a typical tolerance of just 0.1mm. The Eden250 uses a completely clean process that is ideal for standard office-type environments – with no special electrical, ventilation, or materials storage requirements. It is priced far below competitive high-quality systems, thus providing a cost-effective solution for building models and parts that are exceptionally smooth and durable, with fine details and an outstanding surface finish.
“The Eden250 extends the benefits of cost-effective, high-quality in-house 3-dimensional printing to a wide range of organizations that previously had to settle for lower quality or outsourced models,” said Adina Shorr, CEO of Objet Geometries. “With the launch of this new system, Objet now offers a complete range of 3D printers, providing an answer for virtually any application, workflow and budget.”
Cost effective versatility
With a 250mm x 250mm x 200mm build size, the new Eden250 enables the building of a single large model in one build, eliminating time-consuming joining and gluing, or multiple smaller models in one cost-effective, time-saving build.
A choice of High Quality and High Speed printing modes enables the user to optimize the printing process according to the specific quality and timing requirements of individual application. High Quality mode prints 16m (0.0006”) layers with a resolution of 600(X) by 300(Y) dpi. High Speed prints 30m (0.0012”) layers at the same resolution.
With dual material cartridges, each holding 2kg of material, the Eden250 is designed for high productivity with a low level of operator intervention. The PolyLog™ materials management system ensures optimal material usage.
All FullCure and Vero material cartridges are easily installed and removed through a front-loading door. With clean, no-contact material handling, and no special power or operating requirements, the Eden250 – like all Objet systems – is ideally suited for any office environment.
Extensive Choice of materials
The Eden250 supports four different model materials – FullCure® 720 transparent, VeroBlue, VeroWhite and VeroBlack. The system also supports the universal FullCure Support material. This wide choice of materials enables a broad range of applications as it means users can produce models and parts with varying properties, in terms of flexibility, elongation at break, and color. The same high accuracy, detail and surface quality are attained regardless of material choice.
