Objet 3D Printed Dashboard From StreetScooter and Other Cutting-Edge 3D Printing Applications at EuroMold 2011

REHOVOT, Israel, November 9, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

   
    - Complete 3D printed dashboard demonstrates functional
      product realism
    - Happy hour at 6pm, Tuesday 29th November
    - Hall 11, stand D90

    Following a year packed full of new 3D printing product and material
launches, Objet Ltd. [http://www.objet.com ], the innovation leader in 3D
printing for rapid prototyping [http://www.objet.com/rapid_prototyping ] and
additive manufacturing, will showcase some of the real-life applications
made possible with its technology at EuroMold 2011. A standout highlight of
the exhibition will be a stunning 3D printed dashboard from StreetScooter
[http://www.technologicvehicles.com/en/green-transportation-news/1215/video-frankfurt-2011-world-reveal-of-the-stre ]
.

    The StreetScooter
[http://www.technologicvehicles.com/en/green-transportation-news/1215/video-frankfurt-2011-world-reveal-of-the-stre ]
project is a consortium of over 80
companies, united with an aim to develop an affordable electric car with an
emphasis on sustainability. Working closely with the group, Objet has
produced highly realistic prototypes for the development of the style and
function of the car, including a 1.4 meter wide dashboard made from over 20
individually printed parts. Major parts of the dashboard were printed in the
Objet ABS-like Digital Material
[http://www.objet.com/3D-Printing-Materials/Overview/ABS-like ], chosen for
its exceptional dimensional stability and toughness. Additional Objet
materials were used to simulate fine-details. The parts were then glued,
polished and painted to precisely simulate the true look, feel and function
of the dashboard.

    EuroMold [http://web.objet.com/Euromold-2011.html ] visitors can see the
fully-assembled dashboard complete with display screens and additional 3D
printed fittings at the Objet stand. Also featuring at the exhibition will
be a diverse range of exceptionally realistic prototypes, all real
applications from Objet customers including automotive and defence parts,
kitchen utensils, film special effects, medical devices, dental veneers,
footwear and more.

    "Objet has a comprehensive range of products for the professional user.
From entry-level Desktop 3D printers
[http://www.objet.com/3D-Printer/Objet_Desktop_Family ], to the highly
productive Eden range [http://www.objet.com/3D-Printer/Objet_Eden_Family ]
and the unique multi-material Connex series
[http://www.objet.com/3D-Printer/Objet_Connex_Family ], there's a perfect fit
for any product designer or engineer with a rapid prototyping requirement,"
states Gilad Gans, Executive Vice President for Objet, "It's the 3D printing
materials that provide many of the unique capabilities of our 3D printers.
With the introduction of several important new materials in 2011, Objet can
now boast an impressive portfolio of 68 materials of varying physical and
mechanical properties. It's the most versatile range of materials on the
market, all developed with the intention to create the most realistic
prototypes possible."

    Demonstrations of Objet's full range of materials will be available
throughout the show, including the latest releases: high temperature
[http://www.objet.com/3D-Printing-Materials/Overview/High_Temperature ]
resistant material (RGD525), clear transparent
[http://objet.com/3D-Printing-Materials/Overview/Transparent ] material
(Objet VeroClear), ABS-like Digital Material
[http://objet.com/3D-Printing-Materials/Overview/ABS-like ] (RGD5160-DM),
bio-compatible
[http://objet.com/3D-Printing-Materials/Overview/Bio-Compatible ] material
(MED610) and the rigid opaque VeroWhitePlus
[http://objet.com/3D-Printing-Materials/Overview/Rigid_Opaque ] material.

    Showcasing the advantages of multi-material printing, the Objet260
Connex [http://objet.com/3D-Printer/Objet260_Connex ] (launched summer 2011)
and the larger Objet500 Connex
[http://objet.com/3D-Printer/Objet_connex500 ], will be running live on the
stand. Gans adds, "Objet's capability to print multiple materials in a single
build is not only unique, but it can't be competed with. No other technology
can produce a part comprising 14 different material properties in a single
build with no assembly. With varying properties from rigid to rubber, opaque
to transparent, to engineering plastics simulation, Objet's Connex technology
is the pinnacle of true product realism."

    Also at the Objet stand will be the Objet desktop and Eden 3D printers.

    EuroMold visitors are also invited to enjoy Objet's technology
demonstrations and gallery of 3D printing applications at ahappy hour at6pm
on Tuesday 29th November.
