May 2006 Readers Choice Award: Eden500V Written by DE Editors April 2006
Large-Format PolyJet Rapid Prototyper from Objet Geometries
Objet Geometries has intriduced the Eden500V, its newest large-format
PolyJet rapid prototyping system. In North America, the Eden500V is distributed by Stratasys
(Minneapolis, MN).
Besides the PolyJet hallmarks of speed, detail, and surface smoothness,
the Eden500V has a larger build envelope than previous models. It
measures 19.7 in. X 15.7 in. X 7.9 in. (500mm X 400mm X 200mm),
permitting the construction of bigger models and multiple models to be
built simultaneously.
New speed and resolution settings allow users to match these properties
to specific projects. In high-speed mode, the speed effectively doubles
that of previous PolyJet systems. The high-resolution setting of
16-micron (0.0006 in.) layers enables fine detail and surface finish.
The unit uses sealed liquid resin cartridges; as each model layer is
built, it is simultaneously cured with UV light. Fully cured models are
removed from the machine.
The Eden500V uses all available PolyJet materials, ranging from
general-purpose, transparent resins to those with high strength and
rubber-like flexibility.
North America distribution details are available from Stratasys.
