The 3D printer is so fast that is has the ability to switch between different printing materials rapidly while ensuring that the size and texture of the printed object is consistent throughout.

The invention of 3D printers has proved to be a great boon for designers who can now realise their complex ideas without worrying about the involved cost. However, there is one problem. Conventional 3D printers take quite a long time to build a single material. And if a project requires multiple parts to be connected later, then that time could extend even more.

Now, it seems this issue has been resolved. A new technique called Multimaterial Multinozzle 3D (MM3D Printing) developed by engineers at Harvard’s Wyss Institute for Biologically inspired Engineering and John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS), allows seamless switching between up to eight different materials with a single nozzle. This makes the 3D printer capable of precisely printing complex 3D objects in much less time as compared to traditional 3D printing methods. And that too at a high resolution.
