Objet Geometries Connex500 Gets Red Dot Design Award
 REHOVOT,
Israel, May 16, 2008 – Objet Geometries Ltd., the innovation leader in 3-D
printing, today announced that its revolutionary Connex500, system has been
recognized with the red dot award, one
of the highest and most coveted honors for product design and innovation
worldwide. The Connex500, is the first-ever system to allow printing
of several materials with different mechanical and physical properties
simultaneously.
 An
international jury comprised of renowned designers and design experts
evaluated more than 3,200 entries from 51 different countries and deemed the
Connex500, worthy of the distinction associated with this 53-year-old honor.
The award is given by the Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen in Germany, one
of Europe’s most highly reputed design institutions. It recognizes
outstanding and trendsetting design quality worldwide through assessment of
the degree of innovation, functionality, ergonomics, longevity, ecological
compatibility and clarity of function.
“We are complimented with this recognition of our Connex500, system as
one of the most innovative and high quality design advances of the past
year,” said Adina Shorr, CEO of Objet Geometries. “The red dot design award
reinforces our leadership in rapid prototyping technology, which companies
around the globe have embraced for its effectiveness and benefits to their
product development and manufacturing processes.”
 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 will formally receive its award on June 23, 2008 at the annual red
dot awards gala at the Essen Aalto-Theater in Germany among an estimated
1,200 guests from the fields of design, the arts, business and politics. The
Connex500, system will also be on display, along with this year’s other
award-winning products, from June 24 to July 27, 2008 at the red dot design
museum. Located at the Zeche Zollverein World Cultural Heritage Site, the
museum houses the largest permanent exhibition of contemporary design
worldwide.
