3D printer.
The Objet Quadra reportedly offers the fastest start-to-finish
process of any rapid prototyping Building a part one layer at a time using a method of additive fabrication such as 3D printing. Such parts are used for concept modeling to determine if the product design meets the customer's expectations. machine on the market. The process is
based on state-of-the-art ink jet See inkjet printer. printing technology. It uses 1536
nozzles, jets a proprietary photopolymer A photopolymer is a polymer which is cured by exposure to light, often in the ultraviolet spectrum. These polymers are useful in dentistry for fillings and in rapid prototyping in the stereolithography and PolyJet processes. , and requires no post-cure or
post-processing. Material is delivered by a sealed cartridge that is
easily installed and replaced. The software for Quadra is based on
