Stratasys debuts versatile multicolour, multimaterial 3D printing

The J750 – a new addition to the Objet Connex series of 3D Printers - allows for the comparatively rapid creation of prototypes that can include a range of material properties in the same part, as well as delivering 3D printing versatility to produce tooling, moulds, jigs and fixtures.

The company adds that the J750 is expected to improve total cost of ownership by eliminating processes such as painting and assembly that add time and cost to the creation of product prototypes.

Prototypes can be produced in an hour or less depending on size and complexity, giving design teams, engineers and marketers the option to consider a greater range of design iterations more quickly in order to hasten product development.

Prior to its release on April 4, 2016 the J750 went into beta testing with a number of companies including Otterbox, a Fort Collins, Colorado based manufacturer of smartphone cases.
