REHOVOT, Israel, December 19 /PRNewswire/ --
- First Time in 8 Years an RP Company has Won Manufacturing
Industry's Top Award
Objet Geometries Ltd., the world leader in ultra-thin layer photopolymer
jetting, today announced that its revolutionary Connex500(TM) 3-D printing
system has won one of the most prestigious industry awards, the Euromold 2007
Innovation Award.
Euromold, the largest and most significant trade show for
companies involved in product development and pre-manufacturing, is held at
the beginning of December every year in Frankfurt, Germany. At the most
recent show, Objet unveiled its breakthrough PolyJet Matrix(TM) Technology
and the Connex500, the first system based on the new technology.
The Connex500 captured the attention of show attendees and award
judges alike as it opens an entirely new era in rapid prototyping - the era
of multi-material models. Objet's revolutionary machine is the first system
ever that enables printing of parts and assemblies made of multiple model
materials, all in a single build. The Connex500 also fabricates Digital
Materials(TM) on the fly, enabling users to create composite materials that
have preset combinations of mechanical properties.
The EuroMold 2007 Innovation Award recognizes the most innovative
developments from the broad fields of mold-making and tooling, design and
application development, within the general show theme of "From Design to
Prototyping to Series Production". Of the numerous products nominated for the
award, a shortlist of three winners was chosen, with Objet's Connex500
selected as the number one innovation of all. The award statuette is commonly
referred to as the "Oscar of the product development scene" and is recognized
around the world.
"We are extremely proud, that the Connex500 was awarded first place for
innovation at EuroMold," said Adina Shorr, CEO of Objet Geometries. "This is
the first time in eight years that a rapid prototyping innovation has won the
award - a fact that underscores our belief that multi-material printing is
one of the most important industry advances introduced in a long time. As one
of the youngest companies in our industry, this achievement positions us as
the clear rapid prototyping and rapid manufacturing technology leader.
