If the Objet Deskjet can make parts and prototypes from 7 different materials, imagine what RapidPro can do with our commercial sized Connex Machine and its 107 different digital materials and combinations including overmoulding! Watch the new Objet movie here. It showcases just some of the materials available and the resolution you can achieve. Obviously your parts will not come to life and print their own family, but the individual components at the end are examples of the finish you can expect. Of course RapidPro's Connex Machine does have a higher Z resolution than the parts shown, so you can expect an even finer surface finish when you choose to build with us. To discuss your next project call RapidPro on 1300 559 454 or Email us for a quote at: enquiries@rapidpro.com.au

Within 2 weeks we had made 9 different rounds of prototypes, from a basic cardboard mockup to the sophisticated FDM model from RapidPro. This gave us confidence to push the button on over $300k in tooling, just days after receiving the part from RapidPro." Doug Buckle, Buzz Products When Buzz Products were asked to work on last summer's VB promotion, nobody realised how popular the VB fridge would be! The campaign involved buying 12 slabs of VB to get a free beer fridge which played the VB theme song every time a beer was req uested. 3000 fridges were originally built, but these were sold out with 3 weeks, so more were ordered to cope with demand. Buzz contacted RapidPro to assist in prototyping the internal mechanisms for the bottle dispenser utilising Red Eye Australia's FDM build centre. "The shelving inside the fridge needed to be strong enough to hold ...
