Objet260 Connex - The First Compact Multi-Material 3D Printing System
The Objet260 Connex is a revolutionary 3D printing system in the world of true-product realism. This compact, attractively priced 3D printer, is the newest machine in Objet's line of multi-material 3D systems. The 260 Connex enables a variety of rapid prototyping applications in various industries, including dental, medical, engineering and manufacturing to name a few. The machine allows for designers and engineers to produce prototypes to match their intended end-product like no technology currently available.
Utilizing Objet's breakthrough PolyJet Matrix Technology, the 260 Connex can simultaneously build 14 different materials into a single model part, providing a highly detailed and accurate depiction of the final product. With your choice of over 60 different build materials, the possibilities are endless to what you can create.
Objet260 Connex Printer Features and Benefits
The Objet260 Connex is a revolution in true-product representation. Utilizing the same multi-material capabilities and versatile technology of the previous Connex system, the 260 Connex enables designers and engineers to create end-product simulations like never before. Both affordable, and compact, the Objet260 Connex is an office friendly solution, guaranteed to enhance product development efficiency. Some of the benefits and features of this 3D printer are as follows:
True Product Realism Create 3D printed models that look, feel and function closer to the end-product. With the capabilities to produce living hinges, moveable parts, and combine different materials, there are not many restrictions to what can be prototyped.
Compact and Attractively Priced The 260 Connex was designed to provide the multi-material benefits that Objet is known for, at a more affordable price. The system being compact means it can be stored in any office environment, without disrupting the original layout.
Most Versatile With a selection of over 60 materials, the product simulation applications are endless. The material selection simulates properties from rubber to rigid, from opaque to transparent and from standard to ABS-like engineering plastics. It is even possible to jet up to 14 materials in one part allowing for the closest representation of the end-product.
Quality Based on 16-micron layering, the high resolution and accuracy of the 260 Connex will turn heads at trade shows, and product development presentations.
Office Friendly Like all Objet 3D printer systems, office integration is a big focus. Without having to worry about toxic fumes, or overwhelming noise, the Objet260 Connex can be placed right in an office, so that the design process can be as efficient as possible.
Harness Your Creativity. Advance Your Business
The Objet260 Connex gives you the fullest possible idea of how your end product will look and perform. It encourages designers and engineers to explore and innovate and helps them to make the right choices in a much shorter time. And the result for your business? A better end product, that’s delivered to market faster and more cost-efficiently than ever before.
