One of the things we've heard from SolidWorks World<\/a> attendees over the past few years is that you'd like to learn more in advance about the SolidWorks partners who set up booths in the Partner Pavilion. So now through SolidWorks World 2012<\/a>, we'll be posting a series of blog entries about some of the partners you might think about checking out, and the people who will be representing them. Today we hear from Objet<\/a>, Inc.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Tell us a little bit about Objet.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Objet produces and markets high quality 3D printers and 3D printing materials, mainly for the rapid prototyping needs of design, engineering and manufacturing companies. As a company, Objet has its headquarters in Rechovot, Israel and has been operating worldwide for nearly 13 years. Our technology background is based upon inkjet printing principles, but using resin photopolymer based materials to create the actual models and prototypes.<\/p>\n

2. <\/strong>What products do you sell that might appeal to SolidWorks users?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Objet offers 3 different lines of 3D printers and almost 70 different 3D printing materials today. Our 3D printers fall into 3 families: Desktop line, Professional Eden line and Objet Connex line. In total we have 9 different printers, ranging from the smallest, Objet24, able to print our very reliable Objet VeroWhitePlus, to the Objet Connex500, able to print 68 different materials, including two at the same time.<\/p>\n

Our range of 3D printing materials is constantly growing. As of December 2011 we have 68 different materials with different families including the rigid opaque \u2018Vero\u2019 family, rubber-like \u2018Tango\u2019 family, 2 transparent materials, an ABS-like material, a high temperature material, a bio-compatible transparent material, and 51 \u2018composite\u2019 materials that can be created by combining some of these materials together to produce new materials, what we call \u2018Digital Materials\u2019.<\/p>\n
