Objet Connex 500 3D Printer

Connex 500 3D PrinterThe Connex 500 3D Printer has the ability to use different materials at the same time. Not only does this allow for the creation of multi-material models, without having to produce individual parts, but the printer also has the ability to make digital materials as required. When these two features are combined, the printer is able to produce large, detailed, complex, multi-material prototypes. This versatility and spectrum of abilities makes the Connex 500 3D Printer the perfect all round performer.

Connex 500 3D Printer at a glance

  • Large build platform (500 x 400 x 200)
  • Simultaneously prints parts with different mechanical properties
  • Enables close emulation of the look, feel and function of final products
  • Saves days of simulating and preparing complex and expensive molds for double injection
  • Saves costs and time on applications that would usually involve gluing separate parts made of different materials or gluing several small pieces to make a large part
  • Creates a wide variety of Digital Materials™ -- Composite materials made up of two FullCure model materials integrated in specific concentrations and structures to provide the desired mechanical properties
