Printing material offers new design opportunities

Objet, an ~~Indian~~ Israeli provider of high quality, cost effective inkjet-based 3D printing systems and materials, has announced that its 3D printing materials it released in the first half of 2011 are now available on additional Objet 3D printing platforms and in more territories.

Its 3D printing materials are suitable for a wide range of rapid prototyping purposes, from realistic product visualization to advanced functional verification. Its ABS-like digital material was recently used to print a fully functioning skateboard deck and a folding stool sitting 48 cm off the ground and able to sustain over 100 kg in weight.

Commenting on the new material availability, Zehavit Reisin, head of consumables at Objet said, "By widening our material availability to additional platforms and regions we are constantly enhancing the prototyping capabilities for all our customers on all our platforms, both new and old."
