REHOVOT, Israel, May 14 /PRNewswire/ --

- Latest Technology From 3-D Printing Innovator Recognized Alongside 3M, 
Ford and General Motors

Objet Geometries Ltd. (http://www.2objet.com), the innovation leader in
3-D printing technology, today announced that its revolutionary Connex500(TM)
rapid prototyping system has been recognized with the 2008 RadTech USA
Emerging Technologies Award, which honors outstanding users of ultraviolet
(UV) and electron beam (EB) technologies. Connex500 is the first-ever system

"We are delighted with this recognition of our Connex500(TM) system as
one of the most significant UV/EB innovations of the past year," said Adina
Shorr, CEO of Objet Geometries. "This honor highlights our leadership
position in the field of rapid prototyping, which has become a vital tool in
product development and manufacturing processes among a diverse range of
industries throughout the world."

Objet's Connex500(TM) represents a breakthrough in three-dimensional
printing by, for the first time, offering product developers the ability to
print parts and assemblies made of several materials with different
mechanical and physical properties in a single build process. The system's
patented PolyJet Matrix(TM) Technology jets materials in ultra-thin layers,
immediately curing each layer with UV light, a process which yields models
that closely emulate the look, feel and function of an exceptionally wide
variety of end products. In addition, the system allows users to create
composite materials that have pre-set combinations of mechanical properties,
also a first for the industry. The Connex500(TM) was unveiled in November
2007.

Objet formally received its award on May 6th at the RadTech UV/EB
Technology Expo & Conference in Chicago, which is dedicated to fostering
educational, technical and scientific advancement in the manufacture and use
of UV and EB curable products.
