NeoMetrix Announces New Materials for Objet 3D Printers in 2011

Dec. 14, 2010 - PRLog -- NeoMetrix Technologies, Inc., a leading supplier of solutions for rapid product development, including 3D Scanning & 3D Printing, announced the availability of new advanced materials for the Objet line of 3D printers in 2011.

Revealed at EuroMold, Objet held a unique demonstration of new advanced materials** featuring clear transparency, high-temperature resistance and ABS-like quality simulating engineering plastics.

Materials to be released for sale in 2011 include:
•   Objet Clear Material featuring true transparency with high dimensional stability;
•   Objet High Temperature Material, bringing 3D printing models into a new era of thermal functionality; and
•   Objet first-generation of ABS-like Material, bringing 3D model properties closer than ever to engineering plastics.

Objet is simultaneously launching the new Objet VeroWhitePlus** material. Featuring the high dimensional stability of Objet VeroGray now in white, Objet VeroWhitePlus is ideal for fit and form testing for a wide range of industries. The Objet VeroWhitePlus will replace the Objet VeroWhite during 2011.

Commenting on these new developments:  David Reis, President and Chief Executive Officer of Objet Geometries said, "The new range of Objet products and materials manifests our unequivocal commitment to our customers' success. Our latest advances in product development and the introduction of true Clear Material, High Temperature Resistance Material and ABS-like toughness Material combined with Objet's quality make all the difference in achieving true-to-life prototypes."

Commenting on the field test results, one Objet customer said; "With Objet's Clear Material we are able to print thin, transparent parts. This means we can potentially move our clear-material jobs from our outsourced SLA provider to our own in-house Objet 3D printer, saving us both time and money. Objet's High Temperature Material features excellent heat-resistance that enabled us to conduct intensive lighting tests for our automotive design projects. While we achieved acceptable results using SLA materials - the lengthy post-processing of the part made it prohibitively time-consuming when compared to the quality and detail that Objet provided straight from the printer."
