Multi-Material 3D Printing (3D Printing Europe 2015)

PolyJet technology is a powerful additive manufacturing method that produces smooth, accurate prototypes, parts and tooling. Our most advanced systems jet multiple materials simultaneously which allows incorporation of a variety of properties - and even colors. For example, combination of rigid and rubber like materials can simulate a range of Shore A values. With hundreds of digital material combinations and colors, PolyJet technology allows variety of prototypes.

I joined Stratasys in 2008, as a research chemist in the materials group, developing new Polyjet materials for the Stratasys ink jet 3D printing technology.

Since 2014 I lead the "New Chemistries" development team within the materials R&D organization, focusing among others on new printing methods and applications.

Stratasys Ltd. provides 3D printing solutions for the creation of parts used in the processes of designing and manufacturing products. Its 3D printing systems utilize its patented fused deposition modeling (FDM) and inkjet-based PolyJet technologies to enable the production of prototypes, tools and final parts. The company offers entry-level desktop 3D printers to systems for rapid prototyping, and production systems for direct digital manufacturing. It also provides 3D printing consumable materials, end to end SW and workflow solutions, consultative services, direct part services and more, to create a one-stop-shop for its various customers.
