Customer Applications
Burton Snowboards
As a manufacturer you always have to reduce time and cost, while increasing innovation, creativity and communication. You're asked to create more prototypes in a shorter time. Your prototypes must be very close to the production partsIn order to face these challenges Burton Snowboards™, the famous manufacturer of snowboards, has selected the Connex500TM.
 | As a Bureau the reliability of Objet’s Connex polyjet printing technology and the support we receive from HK has helped us exceed customer expectations, in the ability to provide flexible and rigid rapid prototypes. |
Gary Miller, Head of Rapid Prototyping
Industrial Plastic Fabrications
 | Quality is extremely important to us. A large proportion of our business is for film or television so our work has to withstand heavy scrutiny. |
Jez Gibson-Harris, Managing Director
Crawley Creatures
 | Our Objet Eden 250 machine is a great asset to In-CAD Services within our Bureau Design Facility. It has helped our clients gather valuable information about their products and helped In-CAD produce high quality rapid prototypes from day one. |
Adrian Curtis, Managing Director
In-CAD Services
 | By bringing certain aspects of our 3D printing in-house, using Objets Alaris30 Desktop 3D Printer, we have significantly increased the speed at which we can progress through design stages of client work. It also enables us the freedom to design and evaluate parts at very short notice, which wouldn't be possible using an external bureau. |
Richard Merriam, Design Engineer Volume Products
Cambridge Consultants Ltd
 | The Objet technology was perfect for our first machine, it allowed us to offer our customers high quality models at an affordable price. HK have been spot on with the backup and were very helpful throughout the buying process. |
Ben Bartholomew, Managing Director
3D CREATION LAB
 | The Objet Eden 500v printer is popular with our students for work with tight deadlines as it has such a quick turnaround, and they have a range of materials to choose from. |
Nick Grace - Manager
Royal College of Art
 | We recently purchased an Objet Alaris from HK Technologies. This wonderful machine delivers the highest quality 3D rapid prototyping results and impresses us and our more importantly, our clients. HK sales support has been world-class and the machine has been reliably working almost non-stop since the straightforward installation. Thanks for fulfilling our needs beyond expectation! |

Product Ranges
The Alaris30 Desktop 3D Printer delivers a unique combination of high-quality, finely detailed printed models available in a compact office-friendly system. Creating smooth surfaces, complex geometries, small moving elements, fine details, stand-out text and whatever else the design demands.
Eden 3D Printing Systems offer unprecedented return on investment (ROI) for professional rapid prototyping applications. Printing with the high accuracy of ultra-thin 16µ layers, all Eden systems produce models with exceptionally fine details and smooth surfaces.
The Connex family consists of the first 3D printing systems that enable simultaneous jetting of multiple model materials. This unique ability to print parts and assemblies made of multiple materials in a single build and to create composite Digital Materials™ on the fly facilitates closer-than-ever simulation of a wide variety of end products.
