With a new type of 3D printing, we are getting even closer to the dream of replicators as seen in the Star Trek series. Manufacturer Stratasys recently debuted the Objet500 Connex3 printer – the world's first 3D printer that can produce multi-colored objects from different materials at the same time.
This means that the one-dimensional design in many 3D printers that we have written about so far will have to give priority to a wide range of new dynamic and multi-functional printers. The most important feature of the new 3D printer Objet500 Connex3 it is primarily its readiness for the consumer market, as it can produce a final product without additional design. As he said in a statement Igal Zeitun, Stratasys vice president of product marketing and sales, the printer will allow you to hold a product in your hands in the afternoon with the exact color, material properties and hand feel that you envisioned in the morning of the same day.
It is not yet known when such a printer could end up in your living room, but it definitely portends an interesting and creative future.
