Objet Connex 350
Multi-Material 3D Printing System
Connex350™
- The First Multi-Material 3D Printers
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 Printer offers outstanding 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 Printer offers 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.
-
Full weekend unattended
operation, using Jumbo (4 x 3.6kg) material cartridges
(with at least 72 hours of non-stop build capacity)
The Connex350™ 3D Printing System enables Clean office environment
-
UV light curing of each
photopolymer layer immediately after jetting
-
Environmentally stable, fully
cured models can be handled and used immediately, without
post-curing
-
Materials are supplied in
sealed, ready-to-load cartridges, requiring no contact
-
Easy-removal of gel-like support material specially
designed to support complicated geometries
-
Easy machine installation, operation and maintenance
-
No finishing and post-build processing required

Connex350™ 3D Printers
The Connex
family consists of the first 3D printing systems that enable
simultaneous jetting of multiple model materials. This unique
ability to print parts and assemblies made of multiple materials
in a single build and to create composite Digital Materials™ on
the fly facilitates closer-than-ever simulation of a wide
variety of end products.With the high accuracy of ultra-thin
layers, parts produced on Connex multi-materials 3D printing
systems have exceptionally fine details and an outstanding
