3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a process of creating three-dimensional objects by layering materials based on a digital design. It enables the production of complex and customized objects with various materials, ranging from plastics to metals, by depositing successive layers of material until the desired object is formed. Besides its technical advantages, additive manufacturing also shortens complex production processes, enables distributed manufacturing and is more sustainable than traditional manufacturing.
Stratasys highlights how full-color 3D printing with PolyJet technology empowers designers to produce ultra-realistic prototypes featuring Pantone-validated colors, lifelike textures, and multi-material finishes, streamlining the design process from concept to final product.
