January 25, 2008 - Syracuse, NY - Design Prototyping Technologies, a leading provider of rapid prototyping and low-volume manufacturing services, today announced the addition of the Objet Connex500TM PolyJet MatrixTM system to its rapid product development facility in New York. The 3-dimensional printing system offers serious advantages to manufacturers and industrial designers looking to source highly detailed, multi-material models and prototypes.

"Objet's revolutionary machine is the first system to offer simultaneous jetting of multiple materials," said DPT president Mike Rufo. "This breakthrough technology enables us to print parts and assemblies with different mechanical and physical properties in a single build."

The Connex500TM can simultaneously print two of Objet's FullCure model materials. There are many applications well suited for this RP technology -- for example, the construction of multi-colored, integral keypads designed to fit directly into the bezel of a hand-held device or the construction of a living hinge which is often favored by manufacturers looking to eliminate assembly costs.

The Connex500TM 3-D printing system recently earned recognition among the manufacturing industry when it was awarded the prestigious Euromold 2007 Innovation Award.
