The emerging technology of 3D printing is a paradigm shift in the process of creating real objects from computerized models. The pioneer developments of Stratasys allow easy, cheap and fast production of objects of different colors, textures and mechanical properties as demanded by the designer or engineer. The printed object can be composed by itself of different parts that possess different colors, textures and properties, which include complex interactions between them, including movement. Stratasys  polyjet digital materials holds the capability of producing a desired material of superior properties comparing to the few staring materials.
