Enhanced Objet Connex3 launched

IndPrint

Stratasys has unveiled the latest Objet Connex3, with the goal of helping the additive manufacturing industry bridge the technology adoption chasm by making the power of multi-colour and multi-material 3D printing more accessible to all. Streamlining typically cumbersome processes and reversing high price-performance ratios, the Objet Connex3 contributes to the accelerated adoption of 3D printing with a simplified design to 3D print workflow, greater ease of use, expanded colour spectrum and better value.

The Objet Connex3 empowers everyone from designers to manufacturers to easily build highly intricate parts smoothly – with the same appearance, form, and function as parts produced with conventional manufacturing. Dynamic colour management and accurate preview, a wide range of advanced materials and a seamless design to 3D print process cuts development times, reduces capital outlays and stimulates new innovation.

‘Looking at standard technology adoption curves, there’s normally a tremendous lag between potential and reality. With 3D printing, while the promise might be great, customers are still restricted by both complexity and cost, to a degree,’ said Josh Claman, chief business officer at Stratasys. ‘We are committed to enabling wide adoption of 3D printing, stimulating unprecedented creativity, new flexibility and dramatic innovation. Now, we are teaming with Adobe to take this vision additional steps forward, ensuring 3D printing is easier and more attainable. The Objet Connex3 is the only 3D printer on the market with the power to merge multiple materials and colours into one system alongside a highly streamlined and integrated workflow. With greater ease of use and an improved price-performance ratio, Stratasys is therefore expanding 3D printing adoption through simplification.’

The Objet Connex3 now includes two new materials. Vero PureWhite is a rigid, opaque white, producing 20% more brightness and UV resistance than the current VeroWhite. And, VeroCyan has been improved with a brighter, more vibrant appearance – making it ideal as a standalone material, and also for digital materials comprised of multiple materials jetted together to form new materials – also unique to the Connex3 offering.
