Objet announces 3D printer under $25K
Objet, our distribution partner, announced its Alaris30 Desktop 3D Printer is now priced at $24,900, making it much more cost-effective to bring 3D printing in-house rather than outsourced to a 3D printing service bureau. Give us a call at 214-324-0030 or email info@sculptcad.com for more information about the Alaris30.
Following is the press release on the announcement from Objet:
Objet Geometries Announces New Pricing for the Objet Alaris30 Desktop 3D Printer at $24,900
First Affordable High Quality, High Definition 3D Printer
Rehovot, Israel, September 7, 2010 – Objet Geometries Ltd., the innovation leader in 3D printing for rapid prototyping and additive manufacturing, today announced the new price of $24,900* for its market-provenAlaris30™ desktop 3D printer. The price, effective as of today, September 7, 2010, makes the Objet Alaris30 the only sub-$25,000 3D printer capable of printing high-definition, high-quality prototypes at an affordable price.
“Office 3D printer buyers are continually considering the price/value equation to ensure the best quality prototypes while keeping the cost in line with their business goals and budgets,” explains Gilad Gans, Executive Vice President of Objet Geometries. “Starting at only $24,900 and while offering unmatched precision and durability, the Objet Alaris30 provides great value which will allow many more businesses to cost justify in-house 3D printing and to meet design and budgetary requirements.”
Objet’s Alaris30 brings the patented PolyJet 3D-printing technology used in Objet’s professional and office systems to the desktop. It is the first office-friendly desktop system to print true-to-life parts. The ability to create prototypes that accurately represent the desired end-product allows crucial decisions to be made early in the product development life cycle, saving valuable time and costs.
“Our customers are always seeking our counsel on ways to improve their time-to-market and gain a competitive edge,” explained Rich Werneth, President, Computer Aided Technology, Inc., one of Objet’s leading worldwide resellers. “The capabilities of the Objet Alaris30 are not matched by any other technology available in the sub-$25,000 market. Its high precision is demonstrated by the fine details of the printed parts; the finishing of the products matches the textures intended by the designers; and the smooth model surfaces ensure best fit testing. The Objet Alaris30 has helped our customers create better designs while bringing their products to market faster and with lower costs.”
The Objet Alaris30 has been honored with a PlastPol 2009 Award. The recent T.A. Grimm & Associates, Inc. 3D Printer benchmark study found that in the sub-$25,000 3D printers market range, the Objet Alaris30 offers the best quality with the highest total accumulated marks for durability, surface finish, dimensional accuracy, and feature details.
“The Objet Alaris30 is a smart business choice for companies that require true-to-life models that significantly shorten design and development cycles and eliminate mistakes early in the process. The lower
price point provides price-sensitive buyers with an excellent option to benefit from the productivity gains offered by in-house printing with the highest quality prototypes,” concluded Gans.
Objet Alaris30 is used by hundreds of customers in multiple industries, worldwide.
*The Objet Alaris30 is available for purchase via the company’s worldwide offices or its global network of distributors. The recommended retail price is $24,900 – US dollars – (€19,900 in Europe; other international pricing may vary) and excludes options, shipping, local taxes and duties.

Congrats to Objet
Our newest distribution partner, Objet, was recognized last month by CNBC Magazine of one of the 25 most creative companies in Europe. Congratulations on the recognition!
Here is Objet’s reaction to the honor:
It’s official: Objet is the 3D printing company to turn to for creativity! In its July 2010 issue, CNBC magazine recognized Objet Geometries as one of the 25 most creative companies in Europe. Describing Objet Geometries as a pioneer in the 3D printing industry, the article places a special focus on the Connex and Alaris systems.
In the article, CNBC highlights the central role Europe’s entrepreneurs, start-ups and SMEs are expected to play in the economic recovery of the region. In particular, according to CNBC, it is the vision of these companies that is likely to set change in motion.
Being included in the list of most creative companies, places Objet in good company. It is recognized together with some very worthy contenders from industries ranging from clothing, to health care, telecommunications, advertising, and – in Objet’s case – manufacturing. Objet was the only 3D printing company named in the prestigious list.
In addition to dubbing Objet Geometries a pioneer in its field, CNBC’s article also praises the speed and precision with which Objet’s systems work. Specifically, the piece points to Connex systems as Objet’s ‘top end’ system, and the Alaris30 for its affordability.
The publication of the article underscores the contribution Objet’s machines have made in several industries recently. One such example is in the film industry, where Objet’s technologies were used in preparation of the Oscar award-winning movie Avatar. Another well-known customer is Adidas, the German sports apparel manufacturer, who uses Objet’s technologies in the design of almost all new shoe soles.

Iron Man 2 and 3D printing
Legacy Effects, the production company for the recently released film, used CAD software and 3D printing to create the Iron Man suits exploiting the very best of additive manufacturing turning the vision of designers into physical reality in a very short period of time.
Take a look at this video:
Here’s more from the Fast Company article linked above:
On screen, with all those suits whirling into place, you’d probably assume that the “costumes” are merely virtual. Actually, they’re not: Maybe the most cutting-edge facet ofIron Man 2‘s production was the real-life fabrication of the suits. Using 3-D printers, the film’s production company, Legacy Effects, was able to have artists draw an art concept–and then physically make that concept in just four hours.
The “Eden” printers, which are made by Objet, work by using an inkjet cartridge to print a layer of powdered plastic, which is then fused with UV light. Each layer is just microns thick, and the product gets printed from the bottom up. Here’s video of the process, though not an actual Iron Man costume:
The product emerges completely finished. All you need is some paint. Basically, if Tony Stark was real, he wouldn’t be sitting around in a tool shop. He’d be clicking on a CAD program, and then kicking his feet up as his suit was printed.
In addition to speed, the benefit is that you can print out costumes custom fitted to the actors, down to the millimeter. And with custom-fitted suits, Robert Downey, Jr. and Mickey Rourke can put a lot more action into their fight scenes, without the wonky effect of layering on too much CGI. (Downey complained that the original Iron Man suits, which were made more traditionally, were too clunky to act in, and extremely uncomfortable.)
