An important step in the product development cycle is the prototyping of a newly designed part, so that it can be reviewed for fit and function. The color and material properties of this prototype can be different than the the final molded or stamped part, but it provides the CAD designer with information about the validity of the shape and size of the part.
With a build volume of 11.5 x 7.5 x 5.8 in, the Stratasys Objet30 3D printer has the ability to print many small parts at once. Each layer is put down at roughly the same amount of time no matter how many parts are being printed. This allows print times to be much shorter than similar 3D printers in this price range. All CAD formats can be used, like .stp, .igs, .stl,. .obj, .x_t etc.
The Objet 30 is a perfect combination of speed , accuracy and versatility in a small package . It creates semi-functional prototypes of consumer goods, toys, automotive/aerospace parts, medical devices, casting patterns, inventions and others. Check out one of our 3D print jobs here.
With its ability to deliver special properties such as transparency, flexibility and even biocompatibility, the ObJet 3D Printer can tackle any print job. This includes precision tooling and specialized production parts. It features 0.1 mm accuracy for parts that need to fit exactly. As well as .028 mm layer heights for capturing every detail when needed.
The Objet30 Pro comes with Rigid Opaque materials, and specialized photopolymers. It also supports transparent, high-temperature and simulated polypropylene materials. It gives you the power to create realistic models with specialized properties quickly and easily. Furthermore the printer is well known for smooth and accurate parts that are created from diverse materials. These materials are determined by the customers needs.
How it Works
It works similar to an inkjet printer, with the exception that the printer lays down layers of material on a bed, and the UV light sources immediately cures and hardens the material. The soft gel like support material ( for supporting complex shapes) can be washed away after the printing is completed.
