3D Print Mid-Sized Multi-Material Prototypes
Using pioneering PolyJet multi-material 3D printing technology, the Objet Connex350 creates stunning prototypes that are amazingly similar to finished products. The Objet Connex350 prints as many as 14 material properties simultaneously in a single part, to eliminate time-consuming assembly.
With its 350 × 350 × 200 mm (13.8 × 13.8 × 7.9 in.) build tray, the Objet Connex350 gives you the power to prototype complex, assembled products. Like all Objet Connex 3D printers, it offers outstanding 16-micron, high-resolution layers for printing complex geometries, smooth surfaces and thin walls.
Materials
From an unrivalled range of more than 120 materials, including more than 100 Digital Materials created as the model is printed, the Objet Connex350 enables you to simulate diverse mechanical and physical properties, from rubber to rigid; opaque to transparent; and standard to ABS-grade.
Base materials include:
- Transparent material (VeroClear) for fit and form testing of detailed transparent parts and simulation of transparent thermoplastics such as PMMA
- A family of Rubber-like materials (Tango family) suitable for a range of applications requiring non-slip or soft surfaces
- Transparent material (RGD720) for standard plastics simulation requiring dimensional stability and smooth surfaces
- A family of Rigid Opaque materials (Vero family) in a variety of colors including white, gray, blue and black
- Polypropylene-like material (DurusWhite) for snap fit applications
Composite digital materials include:
- Digital ABS simulates ABS-grade engineering plastics by combining high-temperature resistances with high toughness (RGD5160-DM fabricated from RGD515 and RGD535)
- High Temperature material for advanced functional testing, hot air and water flow, static applications and exhibition modeling
- Transparent shades and patterns
- Rigid opaque shades
- Different shore value rubber-like materials
- Polypropylene with improved thermal resistance

Objet Studio Software
Objet Studio makes it simple to build high-quality, accurate 3D models. It automatically transforms STL and SLC files from any 3D CAD application into 3D modeling slices including both build material and support. With click-and-build wizards, you can quickly edit trays, assign materials, manage job queues and perform routine system maintenance. Objet Studio features:
- Easy tray build setup including multiple models and materials
- Automatic support generation
- On-the-fly slicing so printing can start right away
- Auto-placement of trays for accurate, consistent positioning
- Multi-user networking
