Connex500 saves VistaTek customers time and money without
sacrificing quality
Mishek believes that the Connex500 is game changing. “Objet’s ability to jet multiple materials is
one of the most important industry innovations of the last five years – on par with the change from
2D drawings to 3D CAD modeling,” he says. “It takes prototyping into molding to a whole new
level. We’re really excited to be able to bring this capability to our customers.”
“Since we started working with Objet, they have always exceeded our expectations. The quality
and materials are on par with SLA prototyping processes, and for certain types of parts, the
Connex500 also has advantages in terms of speed and surface finish. It’s clean and very cost
effective to operate compared to other large platform prototyping equipment. The net of all this is
that it saves our customers a lot of time and money without sacrificing quality,” Mishek concludes.
