Multi-material 3D printing – joining soft and hard materials in FDM 3D printing
Material interlocking is an innovative new feature for 3D printing that enables the seamless joining of rigid and flexible materials, opening up a wide range of possibilities for the production of highly functional parts. This feature addresses one of the biggest challenges in multi-material printing: ensuring strong, cohesive bonds between materials with different properties. Imagine, for example, a mechanical gripper with soft TPU tips printed in one piece with a rigid PET carbon fiber (PET CF) body.

The new Clear Cast Resin from Formlabs for high-precision, low-labor industrial investment casting

Formlabs Clear Cast Resin

We are pleased to announce the new Formlabs material “Clear Cast Resin”, specially developed for industrial investment casting. The 3D printing workflow using Clear Cast Resin and Formlabs Stereolithography (SLA) enables the direct production of casting models in-house. This reduces costs and shortens throughput times. It also improves flexibility in iteration and production.
