The Connex500™ is the first 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.

5. Pioneering…
Digital Material™
Objet’s Digital Materials are
composite materials fabricated by
PolyJet Matrix technology

6. Composite Materials
• Composite Materials are about…
– Combining different materials
– Producing a new material
– Creating material attributes unattainable by the individual
constituents

7. Composite Materials
• Age-Old Concept
– Adding straw to mud for building stronger mud walls

8. Composite Materials
• Composites are all around us
– Plywood - An engineered wood
• Resistant to cracking and shrinkage
• High degree of strength
– Steel rods in concrete
– Asphalt mixed with sand

10. Digital Material Facts
• Mechanical properties depend on the jetting
matrix
• Many Digital Materials can exist in any part
• Generated on-demand and on-the-fly
• Infinite combinations

11. Fact number 1
Mechanical properties depend on the jetting matrix
Digital Material mechanical properties are created by
the combination of:
– The material percentage
– The jetting pattern

12. Fact number 2
Various Digital Materials can exist in a part

13. Fact number 3
Generated on-demand and on-the-fly
• Objet Studio determines the exact
jetting parameters
• Digital Materials are created
during the jetting process

14. Fact Number 4
Infinite combinations

15. Infinite Combinations
