Objet Geometries Connex500 Gets RadTech Award
 REHOVOT,
Israel, May 14, 2008 – Objet Geometries Ltd, the innovation leader in 3D
printing technology, today announced that its revolutionary Connex500 rapid
prototyping system has been recognized with the 2008 RadTech USA Emerging
Technologies Award, which honors outstanding users of ultraviolet (UV) and
electron beam (EB) technologies. Connex500 is the first-ever system enabling
the manufacture of 3D parts using several different materials at the same
time. Objet joins several other technology leaders – including 3M,
Armstrong, Breit Technologies, DVUV, Ford Motor Company and General Motors –
as recipients of this year’s award.
 “We are
delighted with this recognition of our Connex500 system as one of the most
significant UV/EB innovations of the past year,” said Adina Shorr, CEO of
Objet Geometries. “This honor highlights our leadership position in
the field of rapid prototyping, which has become a vital tool in product
development and manufacturing processes among a diverse range of industries
throughout the world.”
Objet’s Connex500 represents a breakthrough in three-dimensional printing
by, for the first time, offering product developers the ability to print
parts and assemblies made of several materials with different mechanical and
physical properties in a single build process. The system’s patented PolyJet
Matrix Technology jets materials in ultra-thin layers, immediately curing
each layer with UV light, a process which yields models that closely emulate
the look, feel and function of an exceptionally wide variety of end
products. In addition, the system allows users to create composite materials
that have pre-set combinations of mechanical properties, also a first for
the industry. The Connex500 was unveiled in November 2007.
Objet formally received its award on May 6th at the RadTech UV/EB
Technology Expo & Conference in Chicago, which is dedicated to fostering
educational, technical and scientific advancement in the manufacture and use
of UV and EB curable products.
