Fast prototype system produces fine details

Ultra-thin layer photopolymer jetting nables horizontal layers of just 16 micron, exceptionally fine details, and ultra-thin walls down to 0.6mm to be produced, depending on workpiece geometry.

Objet Geometries ., the world leader in ultra-thin layer photopolymer jetting, today announced the Eden350V and Eden350 3-dimensional Printing Systems.

The new systems utilize Objet's advanced Eden platform, providing the market's most productive, flexible and high-quality way to compress the product design-to-manufacturing cycle.

The first system to use the new high-performance platform was the Eden 500V, which was successfully launched worldwide in October.

This top-of-the-line, large format 3-Dimensional Printing System is on display at the Euromold Show, enabling visitors to see first-hand the new state-of-the-art technology and design that is utilized in the new Eden350V and Eden350 systems.

Like the Eden500V, the Eden350V and Eden350 are based on Objet's PolyJet photopolymer jetting technology.

PolyJet technology enables horizontal layers of just 16 micron (0.0006in), exceptionally fine details, and ultra-thin walls down to 0.6mm (0.024in) depending on geometry.

The systems are designed to provide high-quality, 3-dimensional models quickly and conveniently throughout the CAD/CAM process.

With a full 350mm x 350mm x 200mm build size, the new systems offer the flexibility to produce a single large model or multiple smaller models in one build.

Eden350V and Eden350 have a similar build size (larger by 10mm) to the highly successful Eden330, which has been widely adopted across many manufacturing segments.

"The launch of the Eden350V and Eden350 reinforces the new standard for 3-dimensional printing that we established with all of our PolyJet systems." said Adina Shorr, CEO of Objet Geometries.

"The versatility of this new advanced Eden platform provides the most important confirmation of the breakthrough nature of our 3-dimensional printing systems." Eden350V delivers superior flexibility and speed Both the Eden350V and Eden350 print in High Quality mode, with X and Y resolutions of up to 600 dpi, allowing rapid production of models with very fine details.

The Eden350V features an additional mode - High Speed (HS) - that prints in the same resolution as High Quality mode, yet builds horizontal layers of 30m at almost double the speed of High Quality.

The choice of printing modes enables Eden350V users to match quality and speed to the specific needs of any project or application.

Full choice of FullCure materials The Eden350V and Eden350 support the full line of FullCure model and support materials, including the opaque VeroBlue, VeroWhite and VeroBlack, and the flexible rubber-like TangoGray and TangoBlack.

They also support FullCure720 Transparent and the universal FullCure Support.

The wide choice of materials opens opportunities for a wide range of applications by enabling models and parts with varying properties in terms of flexibility, elongation at break, and color.

The same high accuracy, detail and surface quality are maintained regardless of material choice.

Maximum unattended productivity Designed for maximum unattended operation, the Eden350V supports four jumbo material cartridges, each holding 3.6kg of material.

The system features automatic switching between cartridges, and the PolyLog materials management system that ensures optimal materials usage.

The Eden350V can run for up to 72 hours without operator intervention - translating to a full weekend of productivity with no weekend staffing costs.

The Eden350 supports dual 3.6kg materials cartridges.

All FullCure materials cartridges are easily installed and removed through a front-loading door.

With this clean, non-contact materials handling, and no special power or operating requirements, the Eden350V and Eden350 - like all Objet systems - are perfect for any office environment.
