In the fast-evolving world of additive manufacturing, multi-material 3D printing is setting new standards for precision, functionality, and design flexibility. This cutting-edge technology empowers industries to produce highly detailed, multi-functional parts with a level of complexity that traditional manufacturing cannot achieve. Whether you are in mechanical metamaterials, biomedical engineering, flexible electronics, and soft robots, multi-material 3D printing offers unparalleled possibilities.
What is Multi-Material 3D Printing?
Multi-material 3D printing technology can simultaneously print various materials with different properties, such as rigid polymers and elastomers,rigid polymers and SMPs,elastomers and hydrogels,hydrogels and thermosensitive hydrogel,SMPs and conductive elastomers, forming multi-material coupled structures and achieving special performance and functionalities that ordinary single-material structures lack.
By utilizing advanced DLP 3D printing technology, this method enables manufacturers to achieve greater functional integration and complexity in a single part.
Key Features of Our Multi-Material 3D Printing System
Centrifugal multimaterial switching technology
The exclusively developed centrifugal multimaterial switching technology enables efficient material switching and residue removal. The centrifugal speed is adjustable, reaching up to 10,000 RPM, allowing for rapid switching in 60s. The maximum number of switching times in a single printing can reach up to 2,000, which is at the leading level in the industry.
Efficient multi-material slicing software
Independently developed multimaterial model slicing software that generates file formats for automatic multimaterial printing. It supports slicing of multimaterial models with arbitrary spatial distribution of materials. The slicing speed can reach up to 500 layers per minute, meeting the rapid slicing requirements for multimaterial models.
Extensive materials for printing
The system supports multimaterial 3D printing of rigid resins, elastomers, hydrogels, shape memory polymers, conductive elastomers, ceramic slurries, and arbitrary combinations of these materials, with viscosities ranging from 5 to 5000 cps. This provides flexibility in material selection for applications in various fields.
Easy fabrication of heterogeneous objects
The system can print high-complexity, high-precision, multifunctional, and multimaterial structures. It supports simultaneous printing of 2 ~ 4 materials, enabling the efficient printing of both intra-layer and interlayer multimaterial structures. Additionally, the transition zone between different materials is less than 100 μm.
