MultiMaterialJetting
MultiMaterialJetting is an additive manufacturing process that allows for the deposition of multiple materials within a single print job. This technology is a type of material jetting, where droplets of build material are jetted onto a build platform. In MultiMaterialJetting, however, the print head is capable of handling and ejecting distinct materials, often in a pixel-by-pixel fashion. This enables the creation of objects with varying material properties, such as hardness, flexibility, or color, in specific locations.
The process typically involves a print head with multiple nozzles, each dedicated to a different material.
