The only 3D printer for color and advanced multi-material combinations. A game-changer for product design, engineering and manufacturing processes, the Objet®500 Connex3™ Color Multi-material 3D Printer features a unique triple-jetting technology that combines droplets of three base materials to produce parts with virtually unlimited combinations of rigid, flexible, and transparent color materials as well as color digital materials--all in a single print run. The ability to achieve the characteristics of an assembled part without assembly or painting is a significant time-saver. It helps product manufacturers validate designs and make good decisions earlier before committing to manufacturing, and bring products to market faster.
