    "The Objet30 Scholar Package was developed to make Objet's 3D printing systems and
solutions even more accessible to the strategically important education market," says
Gilad Gans, Executive Vice President for Objet. "It provides students and faculties across
multiple disciplines - particularly STEM curriculum studies - with increased opportunities
to create and prototype advanced design ideas."

    Tailor-made 3D printing solutions for the education
[http://objet.com/industries/education ] market are a strategic objective of Objet. The
company's 3D Printers have been adopted by many of the world's leading universities and
research departments, including Virginia Tech, University of New Orleans, Art Center
College of Design, Purdue University, and The Technion.

    The package was designed with educators in mind allowing academic institutions to
focus on creativity. It includes the Objet30 Scholar professional desktop 3D Printer; two
or three year supply of rigid opaque 3D printing materials (Objet RGD240 rigid blue and
support material) which Objet will store and deliver on-demand; a desktop Water-Jet system
to remove the support material; training for users; maintenance of the 3D Printer; and
technical support. Objet30 Scholar customers are also entitled to further discounted 3D
printing material re-fill packages.

    The Objet30 Scholar provides 28 micron layer accuracy and the material features
high-detail visualization for simulating the precise look of standard plastic products. As
well as giving students the ability to develop a 3D printing project portfolio, the
Objet30 Scholar package provides graduates and post-graduates with valuable knowledge and
experience that can help support future design and manufacturing careers in Fortune 500
companies that operate similar professional 3D printing systems.
