product portfolio is strengthened while
dramatically increasing Objet Geometries sales reach
North
Kingstown, RI (January
20, 2010) – R&D Technologies, a proven reseller of 3D CAD
software and related products and
Objet
Geometries Inc., the innovation leader in 3D printing
technology, today announced that the Connex Family and Eden
Family of 3D printers will now be sold in New England by R&D
Technologies. The new initiative expands on the existing
distribution of Objet’s Alaris30 Desktop 3D Printing System.
Objet will continue to provide direct service and customer field
support for both the Connex Family and Eden Family of 3D
printers while R&D Technologies will deliver primary service for
the Alaris30.
Frank
Marangell,
President of Objet US said, “The tremendous success we’ve
garnered for the Alaris30 by selling this line through
organizations like R&D Technologies highlights the sales
horsepower they bring to the table. It became clear to Objet
that teaming with our dealers for distribution of the Connex and
Eden Families is a win-win-win for Objet, our dealers and our
customers due to better coverage, enhanced economies of scale
and scope while delivering the maximum added value to our
customers.
“Our customers are always seeking our counsel on ways to improve
their time to market and other intelligent ways to gain the
critical competitive edge they always strive for,” explained
Andy Coutu from R&D Technologies “The capabilities of the Connex
go unmatched by any other technology in the market and the
proven reliability and flexibility of the Eden Family of 3D
Printers has set the bar high for this industry. Teaming with
Objet Geometries for the Connex and Eden Families enables us to
help our customers create better designs while bringing their
products to market faster.”
R & D Technologies provides engineering productivity solutions
that improve profitability, allow creation of better
products and help decrease time-to-market. Over the
past nine years, R&D Technologies has helped over 600+ companies
throughout New England address and improve upon these critical
engineering-driven business issues.
Objet’s
Connex Family represents a breakthrough in 3D printing by, for
the first time, offering product developers the ability to print
parts and assemblies made of multiple materials with different
mechanical and physical properties in a single build process.
In addition, the systems allow users to create composite
materials that have pre-set combinations of mechanical
properties, a breakthrough for the industry. The Connex500™ was
unveiled in November 2007; the Connex350™ in June 2009. The
proven Eden Family of 3D printers allows customers to utilize
the full spectrum of
Objet’s diverse photopolymer
materials. Eden 3D Printing Systems
make it possible for designers and manufacturers to create
models with a wide range of physical properties – including
transparency, color and elasticity – for numerous, diverse
applications.
