3D Designs Printed with Multiple Materials in a Single Build

sponsored content 
Connex500™ is the first 3D printing system that allows users to simultaneously jet multiple model materials in a single build. The versatility of the multi-material printing options eliminates the need to design, print and glue together separate parts to make a complete model. View this short video to learn more.

Designing parts is one thing. Manufacturing them is something else entirely. So to facilitate the move from one to the other, CNC Software (mastercam.com) has developed its Windows-based CAM/CAM software and integrated it with SolidWorks (solidworks.com) CAD software. MORE >
