Even schools can now consider Objet technology.
Like all Eden printing systems, the Eden250 is based on Objet's innovative PolyJet technology, which enables horizontal layers as thin as 16 micron, exceptionally fine details, ultra-thin walls down to 0.6mm, and high accuracy, with a typical tolerance of just 0.1mm.
The Eden250 uses a completely clean process that is ideal for standard office-type environments - with no special electrical, ventilation, or material storage requirements.

Design and development shifts to new paradigm
Latest in rapid prototyping technology, manufactured by Objet, is now being made available to UK design, research and development specialists, through Unimatic Engineers.
It is priced far below competing high-quality systems, thus providing a cost-effective solution for building models and parts that are exceptionally smooth and durable, with fine details and an outstanding surface finish.
"The Eden250 extends the benefits of cost-effective, high-quality in-house 3-dimensional printing to a wide range of organisations that previously had to settle for lower quality or outsourced models," said Adina Shorr, CEO of Objet Geometries.
"With the launch of this new system, Objet now offers a complete range of 3-D printers, providing an answer for virtually any application, workflow and budget." Cost effective versatility.
With a 250mm x 250mm x 200mm build size, the new Eden250 enables the construction of a single large model in one cost-effective, time-saving build, eliminating time-consuming joining and gluing, or multiple smaller models.
A choice of High Quality or High Speed printing modes enables the user to optimise the printing process according to the specific quality and timing requirements of each individual application.
High Quality mode prints 16 micron layers with a resolution of 600 (X) by 300 (Y) dpi.
High Speed prints 30 micron layers at the same resolution.
With dual material cartridges, each holding 2kg of material, the Eden250 is designed for high productivity with a low level of operator intervention.
The PolyLog materials management system ensures optimal material usage.
All FullCure and Vero material cartridges are easily installed and removed through a front-loading door.
With clean, no-contact material handling, and no special power or operating requirements, the Eden250 - like all Objet systems - is ideally suited for any office environment.
Extensive Choice of Materials.
The Eden250 supports four different model materials - FullCure 720 transparent, VeroBlue, VeroWhite and VeroBlack.
The system also supports the universal FullCure Support material.
This wide choice of materials enables a broad range of applications as it means users can produce models and parts with varying properties, in terms of flexibility, elongation at break, and colour.
The same high accuracy, detail and surface quality are attained regardless of material choice. Request a free brochure from Unimatic Engineers ...
