Objet additive manufacturing      solutions allow designer<STRONG>,<\/STRONG> engineers and manufacturers to prototype      their parts and assemblies quickly &amp; accurately. Objet is <STRONG> <\/STRONG>also      the only additive manufacturing technology capable of printing      multi-material models such as rigid and flexible, opaque and transparent      etc., within the same 3D printed part.With over 100 <STRONG>different<\/STRONG> material combinations (Digital Materials) available and up to 14 different      materials in one part, there is no doubt that <STRONG> <\/STRONG>Objet      represents the best overall set of capabilities for enabling a shorter,      more efficient and safer product design cycle.<STRONG> <\/STRONG>Currently Objet has      an install base of over 4000 machines worldwide<\/EM> <EM>serving leading companies in the Fortune 100      &amp; 500 lists, in almost every industry and many universities and      colleges.<\/EM><BR \/><BR \/><EM> <\/EM><STRONG>Does your product      incorporate lasers?&nbsp; If not, should it?<\/STRONG><BR \/><BR \/><EM><STRONG> <\/STRONG>Objet\u2019s      products do not utilize lasers!

In additive manufacturing, laser is considered more      \u201cold school\u201d technology<STRONG> <\/STRONG>while inkjet, with its high industry      investment from the 2D printing leaders, exponential material      possibilities and endless scalability allows Objet to continually      introduce solutions that drive innovation.<\/EM><BR \/><BR \/><EM> <\/EM><STRONG>What can a customer do      wit<\/STRONG><SPAN style=\"font-weight: bold\">h your product?
