Rehovot, Israel –September 4, 2007 The new resin – TangoPlus, FullCure930 – expands the Tango family of rubber-like materials, offering exceptional elongation at break, excellent toughness and durability and high resistance to tearing. It addresses a broad range of applications requiring rubber-like flexibility and durability, such as gaskets and seals, hoses, athletic footwear, toys and more.
The new material offers unmatched combination of mechanical properties that sets a new standard in rubber-like performance. At 218%, the elongation at break of TangoPlus is more than double that of any other rapid prototyping material available on the market. It is highly resistant to tearing and has a Ross Flex measurement in excess of 150,000. Thus, TangoPlus offers outstanding resistance to deterioration, making it ideal for models that are likely to be exposed to long use or rough handling. TangoPlus FullCure930 a semi-translucent elastomer builds on the success of the market-proven TangoGray and TangoBlack materials, which also offer specific levels of elasticity. With the addition of TangoPlus to the Tango family, Objet now offers the widest range of rubber-like materials in the rapid prototyping and 3-D modeling market.
“TangoPlus is a result of Objet’s continued focus on offering our customers the most versatile solution for all 3-D modeling needs," said Adina Shorr, CEO of Object Geometries. “By expanding our range of materials, we enable more applications, particularly in the areas of communication models and functional prototypes for applications requiring rubber-like flexibility."
TangoPlus is targeted to the professional models of its Eden 3-Dimensional Printing Systems, the Eden500V and Eden350V. It is delivered in convenient sealed 3.6kg cartridges.
