If you’re interested in 3D printing (which is, we assume, why you’re here), you’ll be pleased to hear that 3D Systems just announced some new technology that’s certain to make waves in this industry. In fact, they’ve made a new injection molding material available that’s made from plastic. They’re calling it VisiJet M3 Black and it’s designed to be used with their Projet 3D printers.
The idea here was to create a material that could be used for products that require a greater amount of durability and strength. This is actually the strongest Projet material available to date, which is really quite something in terms of innovation and expansion within this field.
One of the biggest problems with 3D printing technology as a whole thus far is that the end products are often rather flimsy. They are made from a thin plastic that is great for models. However, this creates a situation that’s much more suitable for looking but not actually using, if that makes sense.
