Traditionally, engineers would need to make and assemble multiple parts if they wished to 3D Print a product with various material properties. Additionally, these parts would require painting if they were to be used as a final product. There is a solution.

In this white paper Stratasys' Connex technology shows how multi-material 3D printing is possible with PolyJet 3D Printers.

The Connex system blends base materials to produce single prints containing parts with as many as 46 different material properties, from elastomers to rigid plastics. Additionally, as each base material can have a different color the resulting product can be as colorful as a rainbow.
