Tech2 checks out the Connex350, world's only multi-material 3D printer

Objet printers have regularly featured in the early product testing cycles of major of the Fortune 500 companies in the world. Objet supplies their printers to major companies, including Adidas, P&G and Michelin. From architecture, to consumer tech, to automation, to medicine, to footwear and even toys, there’s an ‘Objet’ in every field. To put it simply, Objet printers manufacture the prototypes for the products and goods that these companies sell. Prototype printing helps in easy identification of errors and faults.

The major difference between the Connex series and these models is that the Connex series allows multiple material printing. The Desktop and Eden family are targeted towards individual designers, engineers and SMBs.
