Objet Geometries and Javelin Technologies Form Strategic Distribution Partnership for 3D Printers


The new partnership with Javelin, a leading SolidWorks value-added reseller, strengthens Objet's reach in Canadian market

REHOVOT, Israel, Oct. 5 - Objet Geometries Ltd., the innovation leader in 3D printing for rapid prototyping and additive manufacturing, today announced an agreement with Javelin Technologies, one of Canada's leading providers of SolidWorks 3D manufacturing software and services, to distribute the full suite of Objet 3D printing solutions in Ontario and Atlantic Canada.

"For years we've offered best-in-class 3D CAD software," commented John Carlan, Managing Director of Javelin Technologies. "Now we're pleased to offer Objet's best-in-class 3D printers. Our organization prides itself on guiding our customers through a selection process to find solutions that meet their specific needs and solve their business challenges. By offering the industry's best portfolio of 3D printers - from the Objet Alaris30 to the high-end, multi-material Connex500 -- our customers are assured they will get the 3D printer that best matches their requirements."

Frank Marangell, President of Objet North America, added: "Teaming with a top-notch, professional organization like Javelin to reach Canadian buyers gives Objet a huge advantage in this market. Javelin's reputation for bringing 3D CAD solutions to its customers with superior know-how and expertise ensures our customers will get the very best advice when selecting a 3D system for their organization."

Javelin Technologies will offer Objet's full line of 3D printers, including the Objet Connex family- the only 3D printing solution that prints parts and assemblies made of several materials with different mechanical and physical properties in a single build process.

In addition to the Connex family of products, the Objet product line includes several 3D printer families. The proven Eden 3D printers allow designers and manufacturers to create models with a wide range of physical properties, including transparency, color and elasticity, for numerous and diverse applications. The Objet Alaris30 is the first-of-its-kind desktop 3D printer that enables the creation of durable, high-quality models at minimal cost, with utmost accuracy and ease of use. Small enough to fit on a desk, the Objet Alaris30 prints true-to-life parts with exceptional detail, including "finished-quality" smooth surfaces, moving parts and text that stands out clearly.

Javelin Technologies will be showcasing the Objet Alaris30 at its upcoming SolidWorks 2011 Rollout Events in Ontario and Atlantic Canada; at the CMW Tradeshow in Toronto, October 5-7; and at the Manufacturing Innovations - Medical Show, November 3-4.
