» Silicone Molding with Objet Parts
Silicone rubber molding is a perfect solution to fill the gap between oneoff rapid prototyping and prototype injection molding. Silicone molds produce urethane castings that are used for functional testing, product demonstration and even low volume manufacturing. From rigid and tough to soft and flexible, quality parts can be made in less than a week at a low cost. Silicone Molding

» Dyeing Objet Models

This application note is a guide for Objet 3D Printing Systems, users on how to enhance the detail, color and creativity of their Objet models by applying special color dye techniques. Highlighting one part of a model can bring the whole assembly to life. You can create a compelling presentation by adding a visual accent to any Objet model using these simple dyeing and painting techniques.

» Gluing Objet Parts Application
When printing big parts, you can separate your design into several parts and then glue them together to create the full assembly.
You can do this using your CAD software before the design is complete, or by using STL file manipulation software after the CAD design is already completed.

» Chemical Resistance Applications
Chemical resistance is considered a functional concern rather than an aesthetic one. Rapid prototype (RP) models designed to evaluate functional use within a chemical environment are subjected to various conditions, such as temperature, reagent combinations and concentrations, and exposure time, all of which affect chemical resistance. Due to the wide range of variables that affect the shape of RP models, there is a need to more accurately establish parameters, such as usage, combination of chemicals and their resultant reactions and the geometry of the RP models, including surface finish, wall thickness and resin.

» RF Shielding Applications
Electromagnetic shielding is the process of limiting the flow of electromagnetic fields between two locations by separating them with a barrier made of a conductive material. Typically, it is applied to covers or printed shells, separating electrical devices from the ‘outside world’ and to cables, separating wires from the environment through which the cable runs. Electromagnetic shielding used to block radio frequency electromagnetic radiation is known as RF shielding. RF Shielding Applications

» Rapid Texture Prototyping
ObjetTechnology can print textures (grains or patterns) and logos on prototype parts, molds and models exactly as they would be on final production molds or parts. If needed, the texture can be limited to specified areas. However, texture can also be added in a post-process using rapid texture prototyping applications.

» Vacuum Metallization
Vacuum metallization is the process of evaporating metals
(most commonly aluminum) inside a vacuum chamber to
achieve a
uniform metalized layer.

» Metal Spin Casting Applications
One of the most exciting modern rapid prototyping applications
of spin casting technology is its use in rapid prototyping and
product development. It is ideal for quickly and economically
producing numerous fully functional, fragile parts in high-strength metal or plastic from computer - generated RP models.
