The Objet500 Connex3’s tray is 19.7 × 15.7 × 7.9 in. with a net build size of 19.3 × 15.4 × 7.9 in. There are 8 print heads that can handle build layers as small as 16 microns, and supported systems include Windows 7 and Windows 8 (64-bit).
The most powerful aspect of the Objet500 Connex3 is the fact that with multiple colors and materials, designers can more closely replicate the look and the feel of their prototypes. That will help reduce development timelines and should lead to better design work, which benefits everyone.
