With Kindle, you can download a book in less than a minute just about anywhere. Kindle is a wireless paperback-sized device which doesn't need a computer to function. The device stores a book either internally or on a flash memory card. You can connect it to a computer with a USB cable to manage your content, but downloads are encrypted for copy protection. Thousands and thousands of Blogs, national magazines and newspapers are now possible for a nominal fee, with this device.
Hewlett-Packard (HP), which has the pride of inventing inkjet technology and DeskJet printer, plans to shut down some of its manufacturing facilities to reduce expenses and focus on core products as the printer industry matures because of fewer fresh inventions.
3D printing is a relatively new technology. It is considered as the physical version of a CAD file. The foundry, construction and automotive industries welcomes the 3D printing technology with open arms as this proves to make their process smooth, efficient and modernized and increases the speed in product development. They can use the 3D printers to print the CAD designed 3D models directly from a CAD file in order to show a finished product to the client before the work has begun. Rapid prototyping and Custom3D offers a fast professional, beneficial and confidential printing service. This Custom3D also provides affordable patent and design protection 3D printing services to the Institute of Inventors and Innovators. This technology is sure to reduce their massive time, labor and cost.
Connex500, a rapid prototyping 3D printing system of Objet Geometries Ltd, has the ability to print parts and assemblies made of several materials with different mechanical and physical properties in a single build process. The system thus enables the manufacture of 3-D parts using several different materials at the same time. In addition, the system allows users to create composite materials that have pre-set combinations of mechanical properties.
Objets Connex500 uses PolyJet Matrix Technology and the most significant Ultraviolet(UV) /Electron-beam (EB) technologies. The system's PolyJet Matrix Technology jets materials in ultra-thin layers, immediately curing each layer with UV light, a process which yields models that closely imitate the appearance, feel and function of the end products.
The system has outstanding and trendsetting design quality recognized worldwide through assessment of the degree of innovation, functionality, ergonomics, durability, environmental compatibility and clarity of function. These features make the automotive, electronics, toy, consumer goods, and footwear industries in North America, Europe, Asia, Australia and Japan to salute this system.
Recently, Connex500 has been recognized for the red dot award, one of the highest and most popular honors for product design and innovation worldwide. It also deserves the pride for receiving this years RadTech USA Emerging Technologies Award which honors outstanding users of ultraviolet (UV) and electron beam (EB) technologies.
Connex500 system serves as one of the most innovative and high quality design advances of the past year in the printing industry. The system offers high resolution 3-dimensional printing solutions for rapid prototyping and rapid manufacturing.
