TriFlex 3D Printing Materials

TriFlex 3D Printing Materials

Flexible colors for professional 3D printing

The Objet500 Connex3 offers the most advanced TriFlex 3D printing material combinations of any color 3D printer on the market. It prints models that show the best end-product realism in many transparent to opaque colors, rigid and flexible areas on the same part, and mixed trays of up to three different base materials and their resulting composite materials.


Color Multi-Material 3D Printer: Connex3

Objet500 Connex 3

Multi-Color and Multi-Material 3D Printing

TriFlex 3D printing, flexible multi-color material options, give you the ability to combine vivid color and multiple materials on the Objet500 Connex3 3D printer, empowering you to simulate the precise look, feel and function of finished products.  And with a wide range of advanced material options and dozens of composites, your designs will come to life as realistic models earlier in the design process.

The Objet500 Connex3 expands your maximum number of base resins to three — and adds color to the mix. The possibilities grow exponentially. For the first time, you can create vibrantly colored, flexible prototypes or mimic the sleek gray finish of popular consumer electronics.

    Just Announced: TriFlex 3D Printing Capabilities by Stratasys

    June 9, 2014 By Talena Graham

    Stratasys Adds Flexible Color Digital Materials for Unparalleled 3D Printed Product Realism

    IRVINE, CA and MINNEAPOLIS & REHOVOT, Israel–(BUSINESS WIRE)– — Stratasys Ltd. (Nasdaq:SSYS), a leading global provider of 3D printing and additive manufacturing solutions, today released a previously announced extension to its range of flexible and rigid material options for the Objet500 Connex3 Color Multi-material 3D Printer:  Introducing the new TriFlex 3D printing capability.

    Tri-Flex PaletteHundreds of new rubber-like color materials and many rigid ones combined with existing options, allow virtually unlimited combinations of flexible, rigid, and translucent-to-opaque colors in a single print run. The new color options are ideal for creating medical, automotive and consumer product components in popular gray along with vibrant color components that offer true-to-life aesthetics. This allows the production of complete products without manual assembly. And it allows product designers to validate designs and make decisions further in advance of tooling to improve designs and reduce tooling costs, reduce development cycle and time-to-market.

    To learn more about the range of new flexible digital materials offered by Stratasys watch the video.

    “The Objet500 Connex3 is the only 3D printer that combines colors with multi-material 3D printing. The ability to mix rigid, flexible, transparent and opaque colors offers users unprecedented versatility to design and perfect products faster,” says Stratasys Director of Materials & Applications Fred Fischer. “By extending the range of material options available, users can improve workflow speeds and enhance efficiency.”

    Ranging from transparent to opaque and spanning a wide selection of Shore A values, the new flexible color options comprise six rubber material palettes. These consist of:

    • Three flexible 72-color palettes, composed of rubber-like (TangoPlus) and combinations of rigid opaque (VeroCyan, VeroMagenta and VeroYellow) materials.
    • Three flexible 68-color palettes, built with rubber-like (TangoBlackPlus) and combinations of the same rigid opaque (Vero) colors.

    Further strengthening its rigid color range, Stratasys also increased the number of gray and subtle color options with:

    • Three 45-color rigid gray palettes, each of which combines rigid VeroWhite and VeroBlack with colors.
    • One 45-hue gray palette, with varying levels of translucency, and which includes a reflective luster for the production of sleek, high-quality parts for products such as consumer electronics.

    The new flexible color options are available immediately to Objet500 Connex3 Color Multi-material 3D Printer owners through a free software update.
