Rehovot, Israel — Objet Geometries Ltd. (www.objet.com)
announces the launch of its newest printer, the Alaris™30. This
first-of-its-kind desktop model allows designers and manufacturers to
create durable, high-quality models at minimal cost and with utmost
accuracy and ease of use. The office-friendly system — small enough to
fit on any desk — prints true-to-life prototypes with exceptional
detail, including “finished-quality” smooth surfaces, moving parts and
text that stands out clearly.

The
Technology Behind the Innovation
The groundbreaking innovation that is the foundation of the Alaris™30
is Objet’s market-leading PolyJet™ Photopolymer Jetting Technology,
which achieves high accuracy and resolution (600 x 600 dpi) by jetting
proprietary FullCure photopolymer materials in 28µ layers. Similar to a
line printer, the jetting head slides back and forth along the X-axis
depositing a single layer of photopolymer onto the build tray. Each
layer is immediately cured and hardened by UV light, producing fully
cured models that can be handled immediately without additional
post-curing.

Using a VeroWhite model
material and the gel-like FullCure Support material, the Alaris™30
print heads synchronously jet identical amounts of materials onto the
tray. The geometry of the support structure enables complicated
geometries, such as cavities, overhangs, undercuts, delicate features
and walls as thin as 0.6mm. When the build is finished, the non-toxic
support material is easily removed by water jetting or by hand, and the
model is ready for fit, form and function testing, or a variety of
immediate applications such as painting, drilling, chrome-plating or
use as molds for tooling.

Office-Friendly and
Easy-to-Use
Designed for high productivity as well as high accuracy, the Alaris™30
operates like a network printer, serving the needs of multiple
designers throughout a firm. In addition, the system’s 300 x 200 x
150mm build tray allows large models or many small parts to be built
simultaneously — saving time and money — and its four cartridge loading
permits up to 36 hours of unattended printing.

The Alaris™30 requires only
simple printer management with no special electricity or plumbing
requirements. Like other Objet models, it also utilizes the Objet
Studio™ software to ensure easy operation and allow designers to turn
any 3-D CAD file into a highly accurate model with just a few mouse
clicks.
The Alaris™30 joins other groundbreaking rapid prototyping solutions
offered by Objet. These include the award-winning Connex500™, the
world’s first 3-D printer with the ability to print multiple model
materials with varying mechanical properties simultaneously.
