Why the New Objet500 Connex2 Multi-material 3D Printer is Great News for Manufacturers The Objet500 Connex2 Multi-material 3D Printer can create injection molds using Digital ABS The new triple-jetting Objet500 Connex2 Multi-material 3D Printer was introduced this week by Stratasys at IMTS 2014 in Chicago and is expected to set new standards for 3D printing price/performance and high throughput additive manufacturing. For a unique perspective on this newest addition to the Objet500 Connex series, check out the video below. One of the most important manufacturing applications being revolutionized with Objet Connex 3D Printing is injection molding. Leveraging PolyJet-based technology, the Objet500 Connex2 can produce injection molds for testing designs in their final materials before mass production and for manufacturing low volumes of end-use injection molded parts.  Compare this with the considerable time and expense of using CNC-tooled molds to test injection...

New UV-Resistant ASA Thermoplastic Expands 3D Printed Outdoor Applications, Introduced at IMTS Stratasys has expanded the variety of outdoor and mechanical applications that can be 3D printed with the launch of its new ASA on September 8, at IMTS.  ASA ( Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate ) is an all-purpose thermoplastic 3D printing material for Stratasys FDM-based 3D Printers and Production Systems. Manufacturers in the automotive, electronics, commercial, sporting goods, construction and other industries will benefit from ASA’s strength and durability. Applications include jigs and fixtures, electrical boxes, recreational vehicles and outdoor tools.  Compatible with the Fortus 360mc, 400mc and 900mc 3D Production Systems, ASA thermoplastic surpasses the capabilities of ABS, offering UV resistance so parts will be durable and resist fading even with long-term exposure to direct sunlight.  Considered to have the best aestheti...

It's R U OK day today! Make sure you take the time to have a meaningful conversation with someone and listen to find out if they are OK. Sir Richard Branson said, "If you can't see someone in person, the next best thing is to call and ask “are you ok?” As friends, we can listen and let them know we care. Come on Australia, let's put the voice back into conversation." R U OK? Ambassador and actor Simon Baker said "We have horrible droughts in this country; we have bushfires and other incidents where Australians band together. We have proven that we have the strength and the power to stand together as a community. To be able to show that same strength as individuals and have conversations one-on-one with friends would be an incredible step forward for us all” Last year RedEye Australasia 3D Printed the functional RUOK question marks that traveled all around Australia to raise awareness.
