Objet video features 107 different 3D Print composite materials

Last year we proposed an X-Prize for 3D Printing. But sometimes we doubt whether one is necessary, as the technologies of 3D Printing continue to astound via the rapid pace of development under the spotlight of intense competition and media interest in this high growth sector positioned by some as part of a Third Industrial Revolution.

The short video below features the art of the possible with an Objet Connex 3D printer. Each part of the model classic car has inter-changeable elements that are 'filled' with a range of different material parts. With this, designers, engineers and manufacturers can simulate the precise look, feel and function of virtually any complex, finished product. In addition, Objet printers can create prototypes made with up to 14 different materials at a time, including numerous opaque/transparent clarities, color shades, rigid/flexible properties, ABS-like toughness, high temperature resistance and more...
