Objet to Show Latest 3D Printing Systems
at Connex Automotive Openhouse 2011, South Korea

March 31, 2011 - Objet Geometries Asia Pacific Ltd., a subsidiary of Objet Geometries Ltd., the innovation leader in 3D printing for rapid prototyping and additive manufacturing, will demonstrate their cutting-edge 3D printing systems at Objet Connex Automotive Open-house organised by Sysopt Engineering Co., Ltd., one of Objet’s distributors in Korea. The event will take place at Room 306, KINTEX on 8th April 2011.

Objet Connex500 - The “Ferrari” in 3D Printing
Displaying at the open-house will be the Objet Connex500, the world’s only multi-material 3D printer capable of simultaneously jetting different model materials, enabling, for example, the creation of prototypes combining shiny hard surfaces interspersed with soft-touch surfaces and overmolding that are common in many consumer and electronics products.

The Objet Connex multi-material 3D printer also allows users to create a range of up to 48 rigid and rubber-like composite materials, – or “Digital Materials” featuring various grey shades and different Shore A values. The closer-than-ever simulation of end products combining multiple materials unleashes the unlimited creativity of designers, and delivers “real” parts to customers. Also featuring at the showcase, under technology demonstration will be a number of new Objet materials planned for release during 2011.

During the open-house Objet will share their views on design trend of automotive industry, as well as presenting some interesting applications and successful case studies on how Objet helps its customers to make automotive businesses fly.

At the open-house Objet will also present their new Desktop printers – Objet24 and Objet30 - Objet’s latest family of affordable, easy to use 3D printers, allowing greater convenience by bringing high-quality 3D printing in-house to every designer and product engineer’s office or desktop. Starting at only $20,900*, the Objet24 is especially suited for the office environment, providing low-cost 3D printing without compromise on model quality and accuracy.

*Price is for Asia Pacific. Other international pricing may vary. Price excludes VAT, options, training, installation, shipping, local taxes and duties. For details, please contact your regional Objet office or Objet authorized distributors.
