While multi-material 3D printers do already exist, the filament that they extrude is typically all one material at any one point in the printing process. A new system produces actual multi-material ...

What are the challenges and applications for this emergent technology in additive manufacturing? Ramsey Stevens, CEO of nano3Dprint, offers his take on the topic. Multi-material 3D printing enables ...

In its CeraMMAM project, a team of researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) has developed a system with ...

Bambu Lab’s latest Bambu Studio update refines multi-material printing with improved support placement, variable layer heights, and seam control, addressing common quality issues. The slicer’s ...

Researchers have developed a way to create complex devices with multiple materials -- including plastics, metals and semiconductors -- all with a single machine. The research outlines a novel 3D ...

AMES, Iowa – The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) is looking for materials that “revolutionize and engineer our future.” Researchers at Iowa State University and the University of California, ...

Bambu Lab’s X2D introduces a second nozzle that separates support and model materials, enabling cleaner surfaces, reduced waste, and more functional multi-material prints. This builds on the company’s ...

Publishing in the journal International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing, the team led by researchers based at the State Key Laboratory of Fluid Power and Mechatronic Systems deposited different ...

Thanks to an innovative extension to 3D printing, researchers can create high-performance, low-weight “unbuildable” RF structures that combine dielectrics and patterned conductors. The benefits and ...

You have a part that needs different colors or different material properties — with a multi-color 3D printer, no problem. You can also laboriously switch filaments on a single-color printer. But ...

In its CeraMMAM project, a team of researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) has developed a system with which high-performance components can be produced from multiple materials in a ...
