 | 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. |

 | 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. |

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! |
Jorg Schlieffers, Managing Director
Thinkable Studio Ltd.
 | The Objet 24 has been one of our best investments, it very quickly gets a product to our customers without the cost of taking CNC machines out of production, this means we can supply a Prototype product to our customers within a couple of days.The material is ideal for achieving a high quality Nickel Plated or spray painted finish. |

Rapid Prototyping Machine Product Ranges
The Desktop Family of 3D Printers deliver 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.
