The Connex350™ is a 3D printing system that jets multiple model
materials simultaneously. It offers the completely unique ability to
print parts and assemblies made of multiple model materials, with
different mechanical or physical properties, all in a single build.
Taking the revolution even further, the Connex350™ can also fabricate
Digital Materials™ on the fly, enabling users to create composite
materials that have preset combinations of mechanical properties.
Based on Objet’s breakthrough PolyJet Matrix™ Technology, the Connex350
3D printer simultaneously prints two FullCure model materials and
creates an extensive range of Digital Materials. It can also print a
single material from any of the original seven FullCure model materials.
By printing with Digital Materials, the Connex350™ allows you to print
parts with specific Shore A values to match the values of the intended
production materials. This capability opens up new opportunities,
bringing you much closer to realizing the final product at an early
stage, including feasibility testing and over-molding process
simulation.
Parts produced on the Connex350™ 3D printers have smooth and durable
surfaces, with exceptionally fine details and an outstanding surface
finish. The high quality output and unique multi-material printing
capabilities of the Connex350™ enable you to closely emulate the look,
feel and function of an exceptionally wide variety of end products.
Key Benefits - Connex350™ 3D printers
Closer-than-ever simulation of end 3D model products
Simultaneously
prints parts with different mechanical properties, opening the way to
cutting down on development time and cost, throughout the design cycle.
Enables close emulation of the look, feel and function of final products, facilitating selection of the end-product materials
Enables
printed prototypes that are very close to the end product in terms of
mechanical properties and material combinations, e.g. over-molding and
double injection
Saves days of simulating and preparing complex and expensive molds for double injection
Eliminates
the need for silicon molds used for testing by enabling most of the
testing to be done at an early stage, prototypes printed overnight
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
Improves
communication between different groups and decision makers in the
company, such as R&D, internal/external customers, engineering,
marketing, sales, and management
The Connex350™ 3D Printers allows a wide choice of materials
Uses
Objet’s FullCure® photopolymer model and support materials, offering a
wide variety of mechanical and physical properties, and easy support
removal
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
The Connex350™ 3D Printer offers a variety of build process and printing modes
Advanced 3D printing capabilities enabling versatile multi-material printing options:
Multi Material Parts
– Parts printed using multiple FullCure model materials; eliminates the
need to design, print and glue together separate model parts to make a
complete model, leading to dramatic savings in printing and
post-processing time
Digital Materials --
Composite materials made up of any two FullCure model materials
integrated in specific concentrations and structures to provide the
desired mechanical properties; enables close simulation of the target
product materials for early-stage testing
Mixed Tray
– Different parts made with different materials in a single build;
saves time on materials replacement and provides an answer for multiple
users
Easy switching between three printing modes – provides a versatile answer for a virtually unlimited variety of applications:
Digital Material
(DM) printing mode operates in 30 micron-layers, providing the ability
to print parts made of multiple model materials, including Digital
Materials
High Quality (HQ) printing mode builds single-material parts in 16-micron (0.0006 inch) layers
High Speed (HS) printing mode, for single-material parts in 30 micron (0.001 inch)-layers
User-defined selection of exact materials, printing speed and resolution needed for individual parts.
The Connex350™3D Printeroffersoutstanding quality, and accuracy
Assures high quality for all your parts, even those with complex geometries.
Highest resolution, with identical X & Y resolution of 600 DPI
Exceptionally fine details and an outstanding smooth surface finish
Horizontal layers of 16µ (0.0006”)
Ultra-fine details in all dimensions
Highly precise printing – tolerance of 0.1 to 0.3mm over large models
The Connex350™3D Printeroffers superior flexibility and time savings
Build tray of 350 x 350 x 200mm saves time for all types of parts:
Prints large parts in a single build, saving gluing time
Prints numerous small parts, made of the same or different materials, together, saving printing time
Easy switching between High Quality, High Speed and Digital Material printing modes.
