Answering the demand for 3D printing at an affordable price
Tri-Tech and Objet have a strong and close working relationship and Tri-Tech has been involved with Objet’s first desktop 3D printer, the Objet Alaris30, since its launch in October 2008. “We have witnessed firsthand the growing demand for 3D printers in the UK, especially for smaller and lower-end systems, so we decided to expand our operations to include a sales division,” explained Paul Webber, Director at Tri-Tech Engineering. “We firmly believe that the Objet Alaris30 has set the benchmark for part quality and accuracy and we intend to bring these benefits to our customers. With Objet’s newly introduced pricing policy, the Objet Alaris30 now offers even greater value for money for our customers, offering finer detail and better accuracy than any other system in its class.”
Andy Middleton, General Manager for Objet Europe, added: “Tri-Tech has been supporting Objet 3D printers in the UK since 2007 and is very familiar with the Objet line of 3D printing systems and Objet customers. It is a natural extension for them to also distribute and sell our systems. We have full confidence in Tri-Tech’s ability to service the growing UK market for desktop 3D printing solutions. Objet customers can rely upon Tri-Tech’s extensive knowledge and experience to support their work and success. We look forward to continuing this expanded, mutually beneficial relationship with Tri-Tech for many years to come.”
