XYZ Innovation to show first multi-material 3D printer at NMW 2009

7 Apr 09

XYZ Innovation will demonstrate Objet’s first multi-material 3D printer, the Connex500, on Stand 1911 during National Manufacturing Week at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre from 12th to 15th May.

Also on display will be Objet’s new desktop 3D printer, the Alaris30, and a new range of cost-effective laser cutters.

The versatility and speed of both printers enables improvements to the internal development speed and capabilities of businesses involved in prototyping and design.

“Printing in materials with mechanical properties similar to the finished products is one of the key features with Objet,” XYZ Innovation’s Daniel Thomsen said.

“A wide spectrum of materials including ABS-like materials, polypropylene-like, rubber-like materials, and even medically approved materials means Objet delivers a machine for almost any purpose.”

The 3D printers can produce smooth-surfaced models, complex geometries and even moving elements in build layers as fine as 0.016mm.

Further, the user-friendly printers eliminate many of the pre and post handling elements of traditional rapid prototyping machines. Using the Objet Studio software, a few mouse clicks turn 3D CAD files into highly accurate models.

XYZ innovation’s core focus is the distribution of rapid prototyping equipment in Australia and New Zealand. Using its industry experience, customer-orientated approach and strong relationships with its business partners, the company’s mission is to guide people and companies through the process of choosing the right technology to enhance product development.
