Applications, Rapid Prototyping

Applications

High-quality 3D models can be easily created in an office environment using Objet’s 3-D printing systems. But, there is much more you can do with your Objet printer. At Objet, we believe the range of applications for our printers is virtually unlimited in the post process and advanced Rapid Prototyping applications.

To support this vision, we continue to develop new applications and introduce applications support and trainings for all markets and niches, from STL and CAD support, to post process and advanced rapid prototyping applications.

Rapid Texture Prototyping

Polyjet™ Technology can print textures (grains or patterns) and logos on prototype parts, molds and models exactly as they would be on final production molds or parts. If needed, the texture can be limited to specified areas. However, texture can also be added in a post-process using rapid texture prototyping applications.

Rapid Tooling

Producing tooling directly from CAD models is regarded as an important method for reducing the cost and time to market of new products. Although this is a relatively new trend in manufacturing, it has already had a dramatic impact on the engineering environment.

Backlit Display

       Backlit light box displays produce bright, vivid colors that are sure
       to grab attention, making them a great way to highlight your products
       and services. PolyJet technology allows us to produce superior
       results for longer-term indoor applications.”

Vacuum Metallization

           Vacuum metallization is the process of evaporating metals
        (most commonly aluminium) inside a vacuum chamber to
        achieve a uniform metalized layer

Metal Coating

         Metal coating can be successfully performed on PolyJet
         models to provide a decorative finish or a hard surface for wear
         in various applications.

Textured Applications

              The overgrowing use of textured parts and components in
          today’s industry has increased dependence on high-quality
          models. 3-D printing of Objet’s parts provides the exact next
          step required to have these actual models in hand, printed in
          high-quality with remarkably fine details.

Penetrating Dye for Translucent Color

Color brings life to your models, and there is no simpler way to add color and preserve translucency than using aniline dye with PolyJet™ models.

RP Tempering Applications

A new process called RP Tempering speeds up processing
time, reduces costs, and produces a stronger RP part.

Metal Spin Casting Applications

       One of the most exciting modern applications of spin casting
       technology is its use in rapid prototyping and product
       development. It is ideal for quickly and economically producing
       numerous fully functional, fragile parts in high-strength metal or
       plastic from computer - generated RP models.

Painting of PolyJet™Parts
For sales samples, photography or finished models, painted PolyJet™ parts produced using Objet 3-Dimensional Printing Systems will give your customers a compelling preview of your newest products.

Jewelry Molds Using VLT Rubber Process
The recent introduction of Castaldo® VLT™ [Very Low Temperature] molding rubber opens the way to a new time-saving process for jewelry molding using Objet Eden™ 3-Dimensional Printing Systems.

Creating Clear or Translucent Models
Not all plastic parts are opaque. For clear parts such as lenses, containers, covers, panels and a variety of other applications, Objet’s PolyJet™ Technology offers the advantages of rapid prototyping while also enabling the translucency required for the application.

Sand Casting Applications
Sand casting is an economical process for creating rough metal parts. Raw castings are then machined to produce finished products or components. Sand casting is the least expensive of all casting processes, including die and investment casting.
