Background
Objet Geometries entered the 3d printing industry with the invention of poyjet technology which works by jetting a photopolymer material in thin layers. Utilizing the polyjet technology, Objet developed Eden family of 3D Printers in early 2000.http://www.objet.com/Products/PolyJet_Technology_Movie/ In 2007, Objet introduced polyjet matrix technology which works by jetting two distinct photopolymer materials. Based on polyjet matrix technology, Objet introduced Conex 500 which is the first multi-material 3d printer in the market.http://www.objet.com/Products/PolyJet_Matrix_Technology/ Objet also develops an office-friendly 3d printer called Alaris30 Desktop 3D Printer.
