For those who own an Objet 3D Printer in Australia will know that Objet used to be solely distributed in Australia by XYZ Innovation (a subsidiary of Formero, formally known as Arrk, formally known as Arrk Silhouette, formally known as Arrk, which is a story in itself). And if you read this blog you may also know that Formero was recently swallowed up along with 22 other companies by the USA Giant 3D Systems. But did you know that the 3D Systems acquisition meant that XYZ could no longer sell the Objet range of 3D printers as they compete directly with the 3D Systems Product range. This left Objet with no choice but to find new representation in Australia. And as per a recent press release it appears as though they have found just that….

Melbourne, Australia, February 14, 2012: Objet Asia Pacific Ltd., a subsidiary of Objet Ltd., the innovation leader in 3D printing for rapid prototyping and additive manufacturing, today announced the appointment of Objective 3D Pty Ltd as the new distributor in the region, reinforcing Objet’s presence in the Australian 3D printing market.  Objective 3D will represent Objet’s full product line for both Australia and New Zealand, offering a full range of both pre- and post-sales service to customers in the region.

XYZ Innovation – Objet’s New Desktop Range

 

Objet24We recently attended the Melbourne stop of XYZ Innovation’s Objet Desktop launch. XYZ are the exclusive distributors of the Objet range of 3D printers and are currently touring Australia and NZ showing off the newest edition to the Objet range, the Objet24 and Objet30. We posted some information into these printers in a previous post a few weeks back. As far as we can tell, these machines are targeting the entry level market and are designed to bring the high quality and speed of the Objet Polyjet technology to a broader market. The parts that these things can print need to been seen in the flesh to be fully appreciated as the level of detail and smooth surface finish that can be achieved is amazing! We have added some photos of printed parts in our example parts gallery.
