Objet Announces New Rubber Like Flexible Material, TangoPlus, Offering Unmatched 218% Elongation at Break


REHOVOT, Israel, September 4 /PRNewswire/ --     Objet Geometries Ltd., the world leader in ultra-thin layer
photopolymer jetting, today announced the newest addition to its FullCure(R)
line of photopolymer materials. 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.
