Find out more about Colour Multi-Material 3D Printing here - Stratasys Webinar

	Stratasys 3D Printing Webinar:  Multi-Materials and Vibrant Colour  VIEW WEBINAR Connex 3D Printing was the first technology to offer multi-material 3D printing. With the Objet500® Connex3™, Stratasys launched another first: a color, multi-material 3D printer. Combining three base materials dramatically extends the possibilities — rich, vibrant colors and unprecedented material versatility. In this webinar, Jon Cobb, executive vice president at Stratasys, will share his expertise on this significant technology advancement, what multi-material color 3D printing really means, how it works and the many benefits. Guadalupe Ollarzabal of Trek Bicycle, a longtime Connex user and Objet500 Connex3 beta tester, will share why his shop chose multi-material 3D printing, what they’re using it for, and how the new technology advances their products.

and rigid opaque colors, spanning a
wide selection of Shore A values.

The new offerings comprise six flexible material palettes,  featuring  more than 200 vibrant colour shades in a wide range of Shore A values and opacities. There are also four new rigid gray and color palettes – three 45-colour rigid gray palettes, each  combining rigid white (VeroWhite) and black (VeroBlack) with colours, and one 45-hue gray palette with varying levels of translucency.

Boaz Jacobi, Product Marketing Manager, Stratasys

We caught up with Boaz Jacobi, Stratasys Product Marketing Manager, to help illuminate Stratasys’ wonderful world of color and multi-material opportunities.

Blog: What new possibilities does this extended range of material options bring to additive manufacturing?

Jacobi:  The Objet500 Connex3, already the most versatile 3D printer on the market, can now leverage over 1,000 colour options and virtually unlimited combinations of flexible, rigid and translucent-to-opaque colours in a single print run. This provides true final product realism and versatility in end-to-end applications.

Blog: What are the main benefits to product manufacturers, and how does it help businesses?

Jacobi: The wide variety of material combinations enables manufacturers to create parts that actually look, feel and function like future products rather than only looking like them. This allows the production of complete products without manual assembly and means product designers can now validate designs earlier in the product development cycle, accelerating time-to-market.

Blog: What are the advantages of 3D printing rubber-like colour materials?

Jacobi: Stratasys now enables users to 3D print digital materials in a wide range of Shore A values. This unique capability benefits  many popular applications ranging from consumer applications to sporting goods and kitchen gadgets. For example, consumer goods manufacturers require soft touch colored parts and overmoulding for applications such as toothbrush handles and hair brush hand grips. In the consumer electronics market, flexible colored parts are becoming increasingly popular for devices like keyboards and remote control devices. Providing these capabilities ensures best final product realism when 3D printing parts.

Blog: What are some of the key uses for the new rigid colour palettes?

Jacobi: The four new rigid colour palettes include a black-white-clear palette that can be used to produce a sleek, reflective sheen,  useful in consumer electronics parts. The colour-black-white palettes are ideal to create medical devices, automotive and consumer product housings in popular gray tones with vibrant colour components.
