Objet recently announced an advanced professional printing optimization package for the Eden350V™ and Eden500V™ 3-D printing systems. The new package, named Optimax™ automates professional resin management, improves resin utilization, reduces the risk of human error in loading and unloading cartridges, and assures model and machine quality on very long runs. The new Optimax™ will support all new Eden350V and Eden500V professional printers and will be available as an upgrade on previously installed Eden V-series machines.

The Optimax package comprises three professional software and hardware modules that together create a comprehensive package for ensuring optimized printing.

Auto ID is a user-friendly read/write data accessory that automates many aspects of resin handling. Continuously monitoring the model material cartridge inserted in the machine, it automatically identifies the material type and the weight of residual material remaining in the cartridge, in real time. It ensures the loaded materials automatically appear in Objet Studio™ and automates setup of resin parameters in Objet Studio and in the printer software. The Auto ID module also facilitates resin cartridge replacement, issues alerts and varied messages for ensuring printing quality.
